Lydia Kincaid's shipping back to Boston, but she's not happy about it. She left to get away from the firefighting community—her father was a firefighter, her brother's a firefighter and, more important, her ex is a firefighter. But family is number one, and her father needs her help running the pub he bought when he retired. Soon, Lydia finds it hard to resist the familiar comfort and routine, and even harder to resist her brother's handsome friend Aidan. Aidan Hunt is a firefighter because of the Kincaid family. He's had the hots for Lydia for years, but if ever a woman was off-limits to him, it's her. Aside from being his mentor's daughter, she's his best friend's sister. The ex-wife of a fellow firefighter. But his plan to play it cool until she leaves town again fails, and soon he and Lydia have crossed a line they can't uncross.
As Aidan and Lydia's flirtation turns into something more serious, Lydia knows she should be planning her escape. Being a firefighter's wife was the hardest thing she's ever done, and she doesn't know if she has the strength to do it again. Aidan can't imagine walking away from Boston Fire—even for Lydia. The job and the brotherhood are his life; but if he wants Lydia in it, he'll have to decide who's first in his heart.
MY REVIEW:
When you come from a long tradition of
firefighters how do you look at those you love and say you hate it! You don’t it’s a necessary evil and the men
and women who put their lives on the line are or should be saints but they’re
not. They are walking heroes. They’re
humans like the rest of us. Yet, they
live and die by the brotherhood. They
barely talk to one another about their problems so forget that the love
interest would know what was going on.
Or at least that is the way Lydia Kincaid sees it.
That is the way Lydia’s life in a nutshell
has gone. She came into a family of fire
chasers and Alpha Males. Then she married
one, which of course went up in flames, excuse the pun. Because for her the stress of being a
firefighter’s wife was just too much.
Hearing the sirens alone stopped her heartbeat but then listening to the
scanner too to make sure her ex was okay became an obsession.
Divorce, moving, and missing her family
hasn’t helped. Her dad bought a bar when
he retired so it is the firefighters hang-out now. Yay her!
Her sister and brother in law are having marital problems so her sister
calls crying asking her to come home to work the bar. She says she can’t face all the questions and
firefighters.
Which she totally understood from her own divorce. Her first night back she goes into the bar to say hi to her dad and the regulars. When Scotty shows up and hot on his heels like always is his best friend Aiden Hunt. Her annoying younger brother’s equally annoying best friend although sexier than hell now.

Aiden had been 17 when they met years ago
her at 21. From that first day they were
sparing partners of words. He had a
crush on his best friend’s sister from the moment he met her. To this day nothing had changed. Well, maybe the lust but he knows his mentor
(her dad) and best friend (her brother) would not approve. Aiden comes from a very white collar
background that had higher hopes for their son.
Other than his drive to serve the public. Things with his parents are still rough
between them.
Lydia’s sister needed her help but
learning to not air your problems is a big thing in their home. So, she was asked by Ashley to come home and
she did which is costing her more than money.
It is cost her, her freedom from this world of firefighters and family
drama. Ashley’s biggest problem was her
father because he was taking the side for his firefighter son in law instead of
his daughter. Which he did with her ex
even when he was caught cheating on her and risking other firefighter’s
lives. So with that she showed up the
next day.
Ashley was only giving her bits and pieces
of what was actually going on. But what
makes her really angry is her brother Scotty is housing her brother in law at
his home. Showing no loyalty to his own
sister. Once again the Kincaid men show
that the Kincaid women are less than.
Hence when she divorced her husband she
was the talk of the town. Not her lying,
cheating, and drunk of a husband. Her
for divorcing him. So, the last thing
she wanted to be was attracted to the “KID.”
Yes, Aiden had grown up into one hell of a good looking man. But he was still 4 years younger than she
was. She was still the daughter, sister,
and ex-wife of a firefighter so the brotherhood code could cause a problem
which said, “HANDS OFF!” The other she
didn’t think she wanted to go down that road again.
Was
this sexy as hell young man was worth the risk?
Did she want to chance it? You’ll
have to read this story to find out. All
the characters are bigger than life and you will not regret it. I totally enjoyed it. It was a family saga which all know I
love. There is something always going on
within the family as a whole. All worth
reading about. The characters are all believable
ones you could have as friends or be in their shoes. I give this book 5 stars. Provided by netgalley.com. Follow us at: www.1rad-readerreviews.com
