review 1: Mike is a big, fearless firefighter who likes to help people and be in control. Chris, whom he saved in her burning house, doesn't want to be controlled--she wants her own identity and be loved for who she is. Hence, problems, and they are complicated by rich Aunt Flo.The plot and characters are well developed and interesting, and the character traits portrayed are easily recognizable and strong.It is a good, enjoyable book!
review 2: Men in Uniform Series by Silhouette BooksSex level: mildFive StarsChris is a divorced mother of two, working at a grocery store and living in a seedy rented house in Sacramento CA. She’s been trying her hand at writing a young adult novel, and only has a few more pages to go on the manuscript. She’s sure that this is the m... moreanuscript that will sell.So when the smoke alarm goes off, and she sees smoke pouring out of the heating vents, she wakes her kids and gets them outside. Then she remembers her manuscript, and goes back into the house to save it. Unable to carry all her research outside, she crams her books and laptop into the refrigerator, hoping the insulation will protect her valuables from the fire.Mike Cavanaugh is a big, burly Irish fireman. He’s first on the scene. Noting the flames coming out of the building, the children inform him that their mother is inside. He rushes in to save her, finding a woman with her head stuck in the refrigerator. Is she hungry?After the fire is over, he invites her to stay a few days at his place. They soon learn that both of them are really hungry; hungry for love, hungry for acceptance, hungry for family.Mike comes from a large Irish Catholic home. While the discussions with his parents aren’t exactly “religious” they are centered on faith, God’s will, and acceptance of things you can’t control. There’s a focus in this part of the book that is warming in a different type of way. You’ll want to curl up on Big Mike’s lap just like the children do, and listen to what he has to say in a gruff voice that doesn’t quite mask the way he feels.The point, learned on Big Mike’s lap, or by Little Mike in a fire, or by Chris when her past comes back to haunt her, is that people always come first. A fireman is always concerned with life as a top priority. The rest of it can always be replaced.The book is nicely written, with good pacing, and believable characters. I like it when a book has a point to make, as this one did, that makes you glad you read it, and a little stronger in your faith for having done so. less
