review 1: Writing quality 3 starsFresh spin on a popular theme 3 stars Cheer-worthiness of main the characters 1.5 stars Lara and Patrick's present-day story begins with Patrick's cavalier attitude toward committing a dangerous crime while he's drunk. His behavior might have made sense if her were a teenaged frat boy, but he's a 29/30-year-old firefighter--not cute. Grow up. The overall backstory and weaving of the current familes'circumstances with the drama of the wildfire and drought conditions is nicely executed. J.B. is a good stroryteller, but her talents don't totally offset the fact that Lara and Patrick are presented as whiny, short-sighted and mean-spirited, especially when dealing with each other. And Patrick's parents?... His dad is an emotionally abusive, bombastic dict... moreator. His mom doesn't do anything to fight for her oldest child for 10 years; just allows her husband to evict her 19-year-old from their home, family, and college. She doesn't secretly keep in contact with him, slip him money to stay in school or anything at all except wring her hands. Yet, in a conversation near the end of the story, Lara and Candy have the nerve to call each other "brave!" Patrick's brother Liam, their sister Megan, his friend Vader, the goddesses, the llama and the wildfire scenes make How to Tame a Wild Fireman an entertaining read in spite of Lara and Patrick's juvenile behavior.
review 2: I know I am late to the party reading the forth full-length book in the series. But I am so glad I came!I started off with the Novella Desperately Seeking a Fireman. It was a little taste of the Fireman of San Gabriel. I had to get more and now I am hooked.“Psycho” is a fireman who is amazing, daring and heroic. But you still want to bundle him up, take him home and make him all better. He has that strong but sensitive thing all going on.I like that all the heroines are strong women in the series. Lara is no exception.The storyline is incredibly detailed; she delves into autism, which is a tough subject. The couple goes through a rough road together, not what I would call a typical storyline. They have a past that connects them, which makes this not a love at first sight story, which I really enjoyed.Romance was hot as the forest fire. Loved the book and will be reading the next Four Weddings and a Firemen. less
