It takes a certain kind of man to stand out among the Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel.
Firefighter Derek “Vader” Brown is one of a kindβsix feet of solid muscle with the heart of a born hero. It’s that protective streak that has him pursuing a promotion to Captain to pay for his mother’s home care. And it’s why he intends to figure out why his sometime girlfriend Cherie Harper runs hot as hellfire one minute and pushes him away the next.
Cherie’s got it bad. Vader sweeps her off her feetβliterallyβand their chemistry is combustible. There’s just the little problem of a nightmare from her past she was desperate to escape. And then her sister Trixie arrives, causing havoc for Cherie and the male population of San Gabriel. Cherie doesn’t want her past to complicate Vader’s life or his career. But there’s nothing like a firefighter to break through all your defenses, one smoldering kiss at a time . . .

This was my first Bachelor Firemen story, and I will definitely read the rest of them. Vader and Cherie obviously love each other even if they both have secrets that are keeping htem from settling down together.
The Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel is a great concept and I look forward to more of the fun with the great secondary characters that had real personalities. I would enjoy spending way more time in San Gabriel with the firemen.
I really loved Vader, heβs loyal, fun and very sexy. Heβs the kind of hero that would do anything for anyone who needed him and that definitely includes Cherie, who he very much loves. Cherie had a pretty unique and difficult past, but despite that sheβs made a pretty great life for herself.
I was hooked into this story and couldnβt put it down. I cheered on Vader and Cherie and was very satisfied when the story ended. I highly recommend this story.
