From popular romance author Kate Meader comes the second novel in Hot in Chicago, a sizzling series that follows a group of firefighting foster siblings and their blazing hot love interests!
As the only female firefighter at Engine Co. 6, Alexandra Dempsey gets it from all sides: the male coworkers who think she can’t do the job, the wives and girlfriends who see her as a threat to their firefighter men, and her overprotective foster brothers who want to shelter their baby sister at all costs. So when she single-handedly saves the life of Eli Cooper, Chicago’s devastatingly handsome mayor, she assumes the respect she’s longed for will finally come her way. But it seems Mr. Mayor has other ideas…
Eli Cooper’s mayoral ratings are plummeting, his chances at reelection dead in the water. When a sexy, curvaceous firefighter gives him the kiss of life, she does more than bring him back to the land of the living—she also breathes vitality into his campaign. Riding the wave of their feel-good story might prop up Eli’s flagging political fortunes, but the sizzling attraction between them can go nowhere; he’s her boss, and there are rules that must be obeyed. But you know what they say about rules: they’re made to be broken…
So, I am going backwards through Meader's catalog, and I am happy to say, I enjoyed her earlier books too.
Both hero and heroine were very complicated characters, but their attraction to each other was nothing but straight forward and white hot. I loved the tension and the banter, and I really liked when Eli showed his tender side, well, as tender as Eli can get.
This was a lot of fun, and anyone who knows me is aware, that the way to my heart is through the ending, and this one definitely won my heart.
