UP IN SMOKE by Kate Meader

 

 Release Date: February 22

Lives are on the line at Engine 6 … and so are hearts.

 

Newly-minted firefighter Abby Sullivan is exactly where she wants to be: Chicago Fire Department’s Engine 6, the station where her mom blazed a trail as one of the first female firefighters in the city. The first to fall in the line of duty, too. All Abby wants is to succeed, but that’s a tough proposition when people only see a feel-good story, a token woman failing at a man’s job, or the princess in need of protection. And the man tasked with watching her six? 

 

Lieutenant Roman Rossi, the one person she can’t let close. 

 

Having the daughter of his boss and nemesis under his wing shouldn’t be a problem for Roman—he’s a professional and can treat her like any other firefighter rookie. Except she happens to be the gorgeous woman he once shared a slice of cherry pie with, followed by the hottest, sweetest, most pulse-pounding kiss of his life. He didn’t know her name but he had planned to find out.

 

Now Roman knows exactly who Abby is: a threat to his self-control more dangerous than a five-alarm blaze. Lust has no place in the firehouse, and a distraction like Abby with her electric blue eyes, waves of flame-red hair, and freckles Roman wants to map with his tongue, is one he can ill afford. 

 

Because one wrong move … and it could all go up in smoke.

 

Up in Smoke is the first in the brand new Hot in Chicago Rookies series about firefighters navigating the trials of new jobs and sizzling romances as they find their place in the world and the love of a lifetime.


My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

My review:

Up in Smoke is the first book in the Hot in Chicago Rookies series by Kate Meader.   One Night Burn is the prequel, but it only contains the first few chapters of Up in Smoke.  Characters from the Hot in Chicago series make an appearance, but I have not read any books from that series and didn’t have any problems reading this book.  I really enjoyed meeting the Engine 6 team and Ramon’s family.  The book was fast-paced, easy to read, and had characters easy to connect with.  Ramon was the perfect grumpy boss, and I loved the cute-meet between him and Abby. After reading this book and loving it, I will certainly go back and read the Hot in Chicago series.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
