Description

A swoony, small town firefighter romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

He’s my new roommate.
I can’t stand him, and he can’t stand me.

Russell Dane thinks he’s all that. Maybe’s he’s so hot he should come with a too-hot-to-handle sign, but he drives me crazy. Not the good kind of crazy either.

He thinks women shouldn’t be firefighters, he’s obnoxiously overprotective, and I can’t stand him. Unfortunately, my body is not getting the memo, but I’m stronger than a few confused hormones. Right?

It wouldn’t be so bad if we didn’t have to work together, and if he wasn’t my boss. It definitely wouldn’t be so bad if he hadn’t gone and kissed me.

Russel & Paisley’s story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, hotshot firefighters, sassy tomboy heroines, roommate romance, frenemies to lovers, hate to love, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of steam and swoon, and a broody, protective hero.

*A full-length, standalone romance.

    oworker’s clash This second book of the Light My Fire Series based in Willow Brook Alaska brings us some heat between fellow firefighters Paisley and Russell. When Paisley moves into town and applies for a job at the fire station the captain is impressed and wants her to join their squad but the Russell the chief is against it but the captain hires her anyway. These two definitely clash but when they wind up sharing a place to live will things change? Another wonderful journey to Alaska written by this great author. Russell and Paisley’s story is sweet, sexy and funny. Great second book to the series but can be read as a standalone.

    I loved this book. I thought it was a great story. The banter was fun and great to read. It made the storyline fun. The attraction they had toward each other was great. I enjoyed reading the machoism in the story. It was well written and I would defiantly read by this author again.

    The Hold Me Now is an exciting, heartfelt and a steamy story. Russell and Paisley are hot shot firefighters as well as roommates and they have sexual tension that is sizzling hot. I love revisiting the small town of Diamond Creek and the charming characters in the story. This is a heartwarming story well worth your time to read the book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    voluntarily read an ARC of this book and am leaving a review. Loved this enemies to lovers type story. Russell can’t seem to say or do the fright thing when it comes to Paisley. He’s never had a problem with women firefighters but there’s something about Paisley that sets him off. Paisley for her part can’t stand Russell’s attitude towards her and can’t seem to get past it. When the I think happens and they end up as sort of roommates, all bets are off. They slowly get to know a different side to each other and while Russell keeps putting his foot in his mouth, he can’t help but wonder what Paisley is hiding. Talk of her family always makes her sad and secretive. You’ll love this slow burn, hot chemistry romance. It has some twists you won’t believe, but you will definitely love this couple and be rooting for them!

  • They definitely tried to deny their feelings!

    4.5 Stars  This is book 2 in the Light My Fire series and it features Paisley and Russell.  These two went from an unknown, unreasonable dislike for each other to a sizzling hot romance.  It was watching them go from one point to the next that was so entertaining.  They fought the good fight but it just was meant to be.  Alongside this emotional story line there is a little mystery and suspense.  I’m always curious to see how far loyalty to family will go.  The characters are fantastic as always.  We get to visit with characters from past books set in the same town, which is always great. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this highly entertaining series.
