Rafe Donovan loves being a firefighter—it saved him and his brothers from the streets. But when a blast knocks him unconscious, the only action he’ll see is from inside his house. That is, until his neighbor comes to check on him, and, suddenly, a week of convalescence doesn’t seem so bad. Between her job as an ER nurse and acting as a caretaker for her grandfather, Carmen Lewis doesn’t have time for fun, let alone for love. Especially with the charming playboy firefighter next door. But as she gets to know Rafe and her walls come down, Carmen wonders if she can give up the control after all, and maybe—just maybe—trust Rafe with her heart.
VERDICT Despite overly descriptive passages that slow down the pacing, Burton (Hot to the Touch) delivers a steamy story with two relationship-shy neighbors whose stubbornness fans their passions. For fans of Erin McCarthy and Bella Andre.
