BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Cedar Ridge, Colorado, is famous for crisp mountain air, clear blue skies, and pine-scented breezes. And it’s the last place Lily Danville wants to be. But she needs a job, and there’s an opening at the hottest resort in her hometown. What has her concerned is the other hot property in Cedar Ridge: Aidan Kincaid-firefighter, rescue worker, and heartbreaker. She never could resist that devastating smile . . .
The Kincaid brothers are as rough and rugged as the Rocky Mountains they call home. Aidan has always done things his own way, by his own rules. And never has he regretted anything more than letting Lily walk out of his life ten years ago. If anyone has ever been in need of rescuing, she has. What she needs more than anything are long hikes, slow dances, and sizzling kisses. But that can only happen if he can get her to give Cedar Ridge-and this bad boy-a second chance . . .
REVIEW:
4.25 Hearts This is a new series for Jill Shalvis and I really enjoyed it. I will say that it did feel that this was more like the second in the series since Aidan’s older brother Gray is married to Penny and it feels like we missed their story but apparently not. That being said the rest was great.
The beginning took a little bit to get into because we are learning everything about a new town, people, etc. But once we get the lay of the land he story is good. Aidan is a really sweet guy and is a caregiver. He wants to take care of Lily but Lily doesn’t think she needs to be taken care of and certainly doesn’t feel like she deserves love. But fate is something that people can’t control.
There is never a bad story from Shalvis. She has a way of drawing you into the small towns she creates. I will say I miss that the town wasn’t Lucky Harbor but we all have to move to a new town at some point in our lives and we learn to enjoy it and that is how I feel about Cedar Ridge. It may take some time but I am sure I will love it just as much as Lucky Harbor. And I look forward to Kenzie’s story and even more so to Hudson’s story. And I really want to know what happened to Jacob.

Great review!
I loved the book! Especially the part when the firefighters came back from a call and the fire chief had them cleaning the firehouse and one of the firefighters decided to take a shower first. OMG! I was dying laughing!!!!
