Release Blast: UP IN SMOKE by Kate Meader

 

 Release Date: February 22

Lives are on the line at Engine 6 … and so are hearts.

 

Newly-minted firefighter Abby Sullivan is exactly where she wants to be: Chicago Fire Department’s Engine 6, the station where her mom blazed a trail as one of the first female firefighters in the city. The first to fall in the line of duty, too. All Abby wants is to succeed, but that’s a tough proposition when people only see a feel-good story, a token woman failing at a man’s job, or the princess in need of protection. And the man tasked with watching her six? 

 

Lieutenant Roman Rossi, the one person she can’t let close. 

 

Having the daughter of his boss and nemesis under his wing shouldn’t be a problem for Roman—he’s a professional and can treat her like any other firefighter rookie. Except she happens to be the gorgeous woman he once shared a slice of cherry pie with, followed by the hottest, sweetest, most pulse-pounding kiss of his life. He didn’t know her name but he had planned to find out.

 

Now Roman knows exactly who Abby is: a threat to his self-control more dangerous than a five-alarm blaze. Lust has no place in the firehouse, and a distraction like Abby with her electric blue eyes, waves of flame-red hair, and freckles Roman wants to map with his tongue, is one he can ill afford. 

 

Because one wrong move … and it could all go up in smoke.

 

Up in Smoke is the first in the brand new Hot in Chicago Rookies series about firefighters navigating the trials of new jobs and sizzling romances as they find their place in the world and the love of a lifetime.

"It’s been a while since I have cracked open a Kate Meader novel, I honestly don’t know why that is because every time I do I am one happy little reader at the end of each book.
Roman & Abby’s romance has so many obstacles in their way for it to actually work out, but that doesn’t stop Roman from giving it his all. Yes you read that right, in this book it’s the hero who puts his heart on the line. And not only is that so refreshing to read a man going all in on love, but to read him express his emotions and then back them up with his actions - I loved every second of it.
As this is the very first book in a brand new series I have to be a much better reader and make sure that I one click all the following books. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book." ~Sharon




I am going to love this new series if the rest of the stories are like this one. What a fun and sexy page turner. This book held my attention right from the first “pie theft” till the last. Jen
