Description

"ONCE YOU'RE MINE is a perfect blend of intrigue, suspense, action and smoldering romance and author Barbara Freethy has outdone herself once again!" RJ 

Firefighter Dylan Callaway is no coward when it comes to running into burning buildings but running into love with a beautiful and seriously annoying brunette is another story. 

Dylan first met Tori Hayden in high school when she was the irritating little sister of one of his best friends. Ten years later, Tori is a determined news reporter, who believes Dylan holds the key to solving a mysterious fire that may be part of a cover-up for murder. 

Tori would have rather worked with anyone other than the ruggedly sexy Dylan, who had been the star of many of her teenaged fantasies, but she needs help to get to the truth and to get justice for someone she loved. 

Sparks fly as Dylan and Tori put out one fire only to start another one—one that might consume them both. 

From #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy comes a page-turning, poignant and thrilling romantic suspense novel about love, courage and risking it all!

PRAISE FOR BARBARA FREETHY NOVELS

 "ONCE YOU'RE MINE is intriguing and very action packed. It deals with deception, intrigue, arson, murder, big business, and love, of course. It is well-written and definitely keeps you on your toes and into the book." Pam 

"I have LOVED the Callaway’s since I read the first book…and I love the Callaway cousins just as much. This whole extended family is a loving, caring, let’s pull together family. If everyone was this way, the world would work much more smoothly! I love romance and suspense and this story has more than a little of both! ONCE YOU'RE MINE is a great story and a must read in my opinion." Perrin

"Tori and Dylan’s story in ONCE YOU'RE MINE drew me in from the very beginning. It started off with a bang making it hard to put the book down. The plot was fast paced and kept me guessing. I couldn’t quite believe how it turned out in the end which I loved. 5 Stars!" Alicia

    Tori is Dylan's best friends younger sister but this is DEFINITELY not your typical younger sister/brother's best friend story. Dylan and Tori re-connect in a fire/blast that Tori is involved in and Dylan responds to, he is in the family business of firefighting. Ms. Frothy does a great job of having suspense throughout the book and throws some great curve balls not only in the romance between Dylan and Tori but also in the story behind the blast. If you want a story filled with suspense, an independent and strong woman and a story that shows the strength of family this is it. This is one of my favorite Callaway stories yet!

    I absolutely loved this book. Dylan and Tori make an awesome team. Tori stumbles into a past mystery that ends up putting her in danger as she digs for answers and the truth. Dylan is there for her, watching out for her and helping her. I was along for the ride with them, wondering and guessing as to what was happening. It was fun watching Dylan fight the chemistry and his attraction to Tori, who just happens to be his best friends little sister. More importantly he's just scared of giving his heart again. Once he gives in, he is in all the way and he realizes there is no use fighting it. They are perfect for each other and I loved the dynamics of their relationship. Where can I find me a Callaway man?

    Barbara Freethy has been a go to author for me when I want a book to take me away from every day drama. Tori and Dylan's story does not disappoint. There is mysteries to be solved, romances to blossom, fires to be extinguished, weddings to be held, babies to be born, and a surprise ending that I for me did not figure out beforehand. I am always happy to visit my favorite family series. This book can be read on it's own but so much more fun to know the whole family. Another book to enjoy - you will be happy you did.

    I agree with all the other reviewers that say they cannot get enough of the Callahans. It a good thing the family is so large! Tori and Dylan's story is just as wonderful as all the rest. There is mystery, intrigue, passion and more with a plot twists that will knock your socks off. I hope when you start this book, you have nothing else to do, because it is a real page turner! I love this series and hope it continues for many more books to come!

    Another great Callaway book! I enjoyed this book from the first page. Barbara's books are such a joy to read. The book had enough suspense that I had a hard time staying put and not skipping ahead to find the answers. I really didn't know how some of the storylines could be happily resolved, but I thought Barbara did a wonderful job of making everything work out well. It's so much fun to read about characters from previous books. I love the way the family stands together and helps each other in times of need. I'm looking forward to the next book!
