Elizabeth B’s Thoughts

Burning For You is a sweet story that tugs on your heart strings. We meet Taylor, a struggling Photographer/Grad Student/Waitress, and Joe, a Fireman. Neither of them are looking for a relationship and both have numerous reasons to not want one, but life keeps bringing them together. It was really fun to watch them deal with their instant attraction to each other and the random run-ins that happen.

The characters are well written and while the story moves quickly, nothing feels rushed. Both Taylor and Joe have issues to work out and the way that is handled while they also get to know each other feels very natural and flows well. Their family and friends are great secondary characters and the meddling that happens adds to and helps move the story along.

Burning For You is the first book in the Man of the Month series and is a great, quick read. I’m looking forward to seeing what future books in the series have to offer.
