When offered the opportunity to read a story involving a yummy sweet-natured, yet tortured soul of a firefighter, how could I refuse? Actually, there's a nice, but 'bruised of heart' heroine to match him too, but in the interest of full disclosure I am forced to admit that she didn't catch my attention until I read the story. The story did indeed grab my attention in the beginning and kept it until the final page was turned.

Up in Flames by Rosanna Leo is a wonderfully erotic tale of small town girl Juliet Baker and hunky firefighter Shane Gaskill. Juliet has decided to return to her home town after a 6-month hiatus and open a B & B in the family farm. Enter Shane Gaskill, the new fire station captain, sent to her B & B by Juliet’s well-meaning nosy sister, for room and board.
Both Juliet and Shane are dealing with past relationships that tend to haunt them and not allow them to act upon their growing attract...more

Can I just say this; I enjoyed reading this book. Absolutely.
Here’s how the book started:
“Good Lord, give me strength. Please keep the local fire-fighters away from me. Keep me out of the path of hardened abs and tall men in uniform, for they are bastards, one and all. Amen.”
Tell me this little prayer didn’t put a smile on your face and make you curious. Of course you can’t tell me that because it did, just like it had me grinning silly when I started reading. Once you read that opening paragra...more

I'm honestly baffled by all the 4/5 stars reviews. This was a cheesy book full of tired tropes, highly predictable plot developments, and one-dimensional stock characters.
The opening sentence gave me the impression that this could be a cute, witty romance but things went south pretty quickly. The twilight-type writing (i.e. excruciatingly detailed descriptions of the protagonists' bodies and hotness, twice per page) got old very fast.
Just consider this: in one of the first chapter, while Jules a...more

So sweet! I really enjoyed this one. The characters feel very real as was the heartbreak they both would rather not repeat. Jules and Shane resist with the best of them but not really, which is perfect. The action moved pretty quickly throughout the book.A very nice balance was achieved with inner turmoil and action. You were able to understand what was going on with the characters but the story didn't get bogged down in too much thinking. This one is a must read for contemporary romance readers...more

Ha, if that doesn't grab your attention, then I really don't know what will.

I loved the main characters in this book Jules and Shane! Who doesn't love a sexy firefighter though! I felt for both of them with their pasts and the trauma's they suffered and I loved the plot involving the arsonist stalker as well. The dynamics between the characters were amazing and I was 100% routing for Jules and Shane throughout the book. I alternated between wanting to hug Jules and shout at her for being stupid and blind! Of course I was doing the same with Shane when he was letting him...more

Where can I get a hot firefighter of my own? The chemistry between Jules and Shane is practically explosive. It jumps out at you from every page. Battling feelings for each other, each for their own personal reasons, you want nothing more than for these two individuals to find their way to each other and a happily ever after.
The added thrill of an arsonist, threatening notes and an ex boyfriend trying to win Juliet back, Up in Flames never has a dull moment. Another great one by Rosanna Leo

what did i think?!?!? i think if there was even the remotest chance that shane would be the one showing up i'd set fire to my house,lol. this book, like the other one by rosanna that i've read (THE SELKIE, check it out too), is hot, hot, hot. loved it from the first word to the last word. i usually am a true blue paranormal romance/erotica reader, and you know what i didn't miss the "paranormal" in this book at all. kudos to rosanna for winning me over, with yet another man ;)

Totally unmemorable.
Juliet moves back into town after trying to clear her head after a bad break up and the death of her parents. Little does she know her boarder Shane is going to rock her world. Cute romance story with a little action and a little erotica.
I wished Gary had played a bigger part in the story to explain his mental illness and reasonings.
