Slow Burn (Into The Fire Book 2) Kindle Edition

by J.H. Croix (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 2,087 ratings
A swoony, small town romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

A flirty firefighter falls for a feisty heroine in this workplace romance.

I put out fires for a living. I can take some heat. But Maisie drives me crazy. She’s smart-mouthed, sarcastic and argumentative.

This town’s too small for both of us. But she works for me. Unfortunately. It’s a big no-no for me to want her.

She's brash and beautiful and tempts me beyond distraction. There are different kinds of fire, and this one will make her melt.

There’s only one problem: this fire might be too hot for both of us.

Beck & Maisie’s story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, hotshot firefighters, flirty he falls first heroes, smart, sassy heroines, workplace romance, opposites attract, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of swoon, and a deeply protective hero.

*A full-length standalone romance.

    I am loving this author's works and this was yet another that has interesting characters overlapping and interesting setting.

    Truly getting into the fire fighting theme and enjoy the settings and it was certainly spicy and hot in places.

    This is a curl up, grab a wine, get comfy and do nothing but settle into being transported to Alaska.

    Well this was just gorgeous

    I loved that he fell first and was struggling with it.
    Actually I didn’t have anything I didn’t like… except maybe the dad… he can go heave!

    Such a sweet story. Written so very well with great characters and a finish line to savour.

    A stand-alone contemporary romance novel set in Alaska. Maisie and beck story is hot like all the other books I’ve read by Croix. The imagery of the Alaskan wilderness ( and the ruggered handsome men!) created by Croix’ words make me want to book a flight.

    5.0 out of 5 stars chemistry on fire!
    Reviewed in Australia on 2 November 2017
    Slow Burn is the second book in the "Into the Fire" series and I loved it! This is my first book by this author and I will definitely be reading book one and many more books by J.H. Croix. Love Beck and Maisie together. Beck has always been a playboy and Maisie keeps to herself and trusts no one. Can these two get over themselves and get their HEA. Beck and Maisie's chemistry is on fire. I loved how they fought their relationship yet they both wanted each other at the same time. A hot sexy read with a great story line make this a 5-star read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I loved this book. The author did a fantastic job with the development of all the characters in the story. The intense attraction that Maisie and Beck made this a fun and sexy story that you enjoyed from the very beginning. When these two get together sparks fly, and the fun and sexiness begins. Maisie is a strong independent woman that is used to being alone and Beck is a sexy flirt that is never wanting for female company. What happens when they stop fighting the attraction?

    I found this novel for free on BookBub. I must admit, I thought it would be cheesy and didn’t plan on downloading it to my Kindle. My husband downloaded it for me. I am so grateful that he did!! This book contains the most incredibly-written sex scenes that I have ever come across! The author is a genius. Plus, the characters were engaging and well-developed, and the storyline flowed. I still cannot get over how brilliantly-written this novel is!

    5.0 out of 5 stars HOT, sexy hero-knows his way around the females
    Reviewed in the United States on 14 September 2018
    Verified Purchase
    SLOW BURN is a standalone read with a HEA. Part of the Into The Fire series. I did not read in order and was not at all lost. Read in order to get the whole story of each couple before reading about them as supporting cast in upcoming books. The whole series is HOT< HOT< HOT sexy scenes. Sit in a cool spot while reading!! If lots of sex and "dirty" talk is a problem for you, you won't like this series. It is set in a small town in Alaska.

    Beck is a hotshot firefighter. Picture the cover while reading the book and it will make it even better! OMG Yummy. He is somewhat of a flirt and ladies' man. He doesn't do relationships, just the flavor of the week. He is best friends with just about everyone in town - especially the female section. He is gorgeous, strong, smart and quite easy on the eyes.

    Maisie is the 911 operator for the police and fire and rescue. She is a bit abrasive and it seems they just shoot sparks off each other. They have been crushing on each other for 2 years but she avoids him because of his reputation and he knows she is not a week-end type of girl. But then he catches her in the shower at the station and he is tired of fighting what he really wants. So he goes after her and it doesn't take much before she gives in to her lust!!

    There is a bit of drama as Maisie's father comes to town with the intention of getting as much money out of her as he can. Being independent she thinks she can handle everything herself. I do wish she had grew a pair and got rid of the deadbeat dad sooner than she did but that is just me. There are lots of sexy scenes as these two get to know each other and try to navigate their feelings for each other. Lots of side characters stepping in to help them with their issues. A couple of repeat characters, Dottie and Hermann add a bit of humor to the story. There is lots of sex but there is also a good story. I enjoyed the read and found it to be entertaining. I love the Alaskan setting and the lessons that come with descriptions, etc. Makes one wish they could visit this small town. I definitely recommend this read.

    I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 9/13/18
