Description from the publisher:
He sets women ablaze, but the only one he needs may be fireproof.

Humiliated by her cheating ex, control freak Mel Thompson has resolved to avoid sex and romance. But her plans skid off the rails on her birthday, when she overindulges in champagne and tries to seduce her best friend, Adam Caras, exposing her long-repressed attraction to him. She's determined to remain just friends, but her erotic fantasies have other ideas... 

Firefighter Adam Caras has seduced more women than he'd ever admit to, earning the nickname the Arsonist, thanks to his explosive sensuality. Unfortunately, he realized he's in love with his best friend Mel five minutes after she hooked up with her sleazebag ex. For two years, he's kept his true feelings a secret. His libido, on the other hand ... not so easy to rein in. Now that she's free, he has a plan of his own. He'll win her heart the only way he knows how - in bed - by employing every weapon in his lady-killer arsenal. 

As best friends become lovers, they must risk everything for a chance at happiness. If they can overcome their past mistakes before it tears them apart... 

Fired Up is an award-winning, bestselling friends-to-lovers romance from the author of the acclaimed Hot Scots series of contemporary romances. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FIRED UP is a stand-alone friends-to-lovers contemporary romance.

Though this may not be a part of the Hot Scots series, there is an immediate overlap:  Mel’s birthday celebration is being held at Dance Ardor, the same club where Erica and Lachlan met (and Calli met Aiden…. Thinking he may be a firefighter…. Hmmm have we come full circle?)

Starting from the opening scene, pictures were painted in my mind.  The locations and the people became living and breathing parts of my world during my drive while I listened to this wonderful story.  It is hot, intense, and sexy.  It is heart-filling with family, friends, and love of all types.

Though repetitive at times, even that felt real.  I know for myself, I tend to go into circular thinking and worrying until I finally make a decision.  

I love romance stories.  Anyone who has followed my blog for even a short time knows this, so it should come as no surprise that I would love this story of friends who are able to build that relationship into even more…a lifetime.

Narration:  The narrator has a very sexy voice.  In fact, even the scenes that were not erotic sounded breathless and ready to explode.  This made it a little distracting for driving and inappropriate for some scenes, but better than being monotone.

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
