This was my first book by Kelly Elliott and the blurb definitely caught my eye. Hot firefighter? Sign me up. This book had some unexpected drama for me which I had to weigh against the overall cuteness of the book-which is why I'm rating this book a 3.
I liked Finn. I thought he was hot and cute. I enjoyed his relationship with his family and I really enjoyed seeing him fight for Rory. It's mentioned, often, that Finn is a serial dater, that he doesn't commit, so watching him want to try to commit was satisfying.
Rory was a bit tougher for me to like. I got that she was sheltered-but at times it was borderline obsessive how sheltered she was. I found myself struggling a bit to reconcile the tough attorney with the naive girlfriend BUT I did like her exploring herself with Finn.
These two definitely had chemistry-that was never an issue. The sexy scenes were sexy. I believed the two of them wanted to be together-and I wanted them to be together too. I just wanted them to get there a little faster than they did.
There was some unexpected drama that was in here, and it's definitely spoiler material in my opinion, so I'm just going to say I didn't think it was necessary. There was enough conflict without throwing in a curveball at the end in my opinion. It took away a bit from Rory and Finn-putting the focus on another couple entirely and I just didn't think that needed to happen.
Overall, the book was cute. I did like the characters and I did like the characters together. This was a quick read for me and I would recommend it if you're looking for a hot firefighter book.

I love, love, love second chance romances. I love when friends (or sibling's friends) turn into lovers. This book had some of both-along with some other things I loved.
Liam and Sophie have been apart for seven years, ever since Sophie left to pursue a career in dance after high school. She returns home-not knowing that Liam is still in their hometown. However, once these two see each other again there's no doubt that the spark is still there between them.
I liked Sophie a lot. I felt I could connect to her on a very personal level. She's stronger than she would ever think, stuck with a family trapped by their own demons and she still grows and is her own person. I loved her relationship with her niece. Her chemistry with Liam is off the charts hot.
Speaking of hot, Liam...well Liam is definitely a hot, alpha male. I loved watching him with Sophie. He took charge in such a delicious way. He knew just how to handle her and I loved it. I certainly wouldn't mind spending some time with him.
What I did have a hard time with was some of the supporting characters and their issues. I feel like some were too involved in the story and somewhat took away from Liam and Sophie's journey. Sohpie's mom in particular drove me up the wall much more than I anticipated or appreciated.
This wasn't my first Callie Harper book. It won't be my last. If you're looking for a quick, second chance romance I would recommend this book.
