As one of New York’s Finest, firefighter Cash Ryder is always prepared. When a woman’s car skids off the side of a mountain during a snowstorm, he’s there to rescue her. Cash is totally focused on the woman’s well-being, but within minutes of getting her to safety, he realizes that he’s nowhere near prepared for the heat that rolls off of sensual, smart-mouthed, and stubborn Siena Remington.
As a model, Siena Remington has dated some of the wealthiest, most handsome men in the industry, and she’s made peace with the idea that most men are just looking for eye candy and they wouldn’t know how to romance a woman to save their lives. When she’s rescued by a tall, handsome stranger, she thinks that maybe, just maybe, she’s found her own real-life romantic fairy tale—until he opens his mouth and everything that comes out is gruff, ornery, and aggravatingly sexy.
Thrown together during an annual firehouse calendar photo shoot, the passion between Cash and Siena sizzles, and neither one knows how to control the flames. After an evening of verbal sparring followed by a sinfully sensual night, their darkest secrets are revealed—and so is Cash’s warm, romantic heart. But Siena’s secret might be too much for big, strong, always-prepared Cash to handle—and Siena is forced to choose between a man who’s everything she’s ever dreamed of and an opportunity of a lifetime.
Being
the only girl among the Remingtons, and being a hot model, I wonder who will
Sienna fall in love with…
She
watched her brothers fell in love, and even though she is surrounded by men and
desired by many, she wanted something the same as her brothers have right now
with their partners – she wanted love, and romance. She wanted to be swept off
her feet, she wanted roses, dinners, and holding hands. But finding true love
can be a very hard task. Until a snow storm landed her on a firefighter’s lap –
Cash Ryder.
He
was gruff, a little bit rude, but sexy as hell. I can just imagine those
handsome firefighters I saw on Pinterest that had me drooling and swooning for
hours. He is the type of man who is always prepared for whatever circumstances.
When a woman’s car skids off the side of the mountain during a snowstorm, he
was able to rescue her. What he wasn’t prepared for was to come face to face to
the beautiful, smart-mouth Sienna Remington. And he didn’t even know her until
he saw that Johnny Walker ad!
The
sexual tension was already off the edge, one big shove and I know these two
would just ignite my Kindle. And I was so right – it was the annual firehouse
calendar shoot that pushed these two together until they can no longer deny the
attraction. It turns out that their verbal banter was a mere foreplay to a very
steamy, sexy, and sensual night.
But
these two has secrets they are yet to share. Cash had been harboring guilt
feelings over the life he could have saved but failed to do so. He had been
punishing himself to a fault. As for Sienna, an opportunity came in, but with
strings attached. Is she willing to sacrifice what they have for an opportunity
of a lifetime? Morals are questioned – up to what extent can she do with
regards to her career?
He
might be a little rough around the edges, but Cash knows romance and how to
make a girl fall for him with all those sweet ideas he has for a date. He can
be annoying when he goes all-alpha on Sienna but he can really, really be
lovable when he turns soft. What I love about him – is that he tries to keep
his mind open about things. He tries not to be jealous, he tries to work things
out, he tries, and tries… I was just wondering if he was willing to try to
forgive himself as well. Because it pains me to see him risk his life one fire
after the other after the incident. It was a big blessing Sienna came into his
life.
As
for Sienna – I have seen sides of her I didn’t expect, and yes, I was a bit
disappointed at first. Perhaps because I thought she was better than that. She wasn’t
raised not to stand up against things that she was uncomfortable with. She allowed
herself to be pushed, to do things she doesn’t normally do – and to compromise
what she had with Cash. It took some girl intervention before she can finally
see the light, and realize that nothing is more important than Cash. She
finally has what her brothers have – TRUE LOVE, and she wasn’t going to let it
go easily. So she makes one grand gesture that made me smile, and loved her
more.
Flames
of Love is a story about love, forgiveness and compromise. You have to forgive
yourself first before you can ask forgiveness or start healing. And compromise
is important in a relationship - it makes a win-win situation for everyone. I
love the two characters, and everything that surrounds them. It was good to see
old characters I have came to love in the previous books, and once again
Melissa Foster didn’t disappoint me. No matter how many times I have read her
novel, she has still something new and fresh to offer. Just like this book that
kept me up until I finally got the HEA I was hoping for. Can’t wait for the
next one in the series!
