Review: The Firefighter's Dilemma by Mariah Ankenman



Synopsis

Firefighter Stephanie Díaz won’t let anyone stop her from becoming the youngest female fire chief in Denver. Not the jerks who’d like to see an ambitious Latine woman admit defeat. Not the ultra-bro firefighters she has to work with. And definitely not her ridiculously hot and often infuriating, fellow firefighter Eli Ward. Now Stephanie has the chance to prove to everyone that she’s got what it takes…but there’s one helluva catch.


The Battle of the First Responders is a live, balls-out competition in the secluded Rockies and Stephanie has been selected—along with Ward as her partner. On the line are their reputations, a whole lot of cash…and the promotion they’ve been fighting for. Teaming up is the perfect chance to finally settle their never-ending one-upmanship, but it also exposes the smoldering attraction they’ve held at bay.

Now their days are fueled by a high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled competition. Their nights are filled with sizzling deep kisses that steal her breath away. But this sexy little fling is about to set off a five-alarm blaze she can’t control…

Review


Diaz and Eli are such fun characters. And I thoroughly enjoyed their story. It's funny and will keep you turning the pages. I enjoyed the web show aspect of the story. It was fun to watch them compete with each other while trying to deny their chemistry. But, well, we all know that's always a losing battle. The romance between them felt a little rushed but with their history as co-workers that's ignorable. Other than that, it's a perfect romance for those who love quirky books with lots of laugh-out-loud moments and some drama.

P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley. My review is an honest opinion of the book and has nothing to do with the author or the publisher.
