Pam...are there other firemen in the book that would count...I'll defer to Kat, but I'm thinking the 'chief' may not count as blue collar. Kat?

...same for your Sarah...need to defer to Kat...'owner' and 'investigator' may not be considered 'blue collar'. Again, Kat?

Could you change the qualification to 'tagged as cowboy', your description isn't in the précis.
And you have your first rose - that was fast!

Cyndee did you enjoy crank? I enjoyed the whole series very much.

I liked it. My biggest struggle with it was that I didn't feel the connection between them when they first got together, like maybe their characters hadn't developed enough yet to see their draw? But I ended up really enjoying it and plan to read the rest of the series!

OK...one day left and we need 3 more for L to get 3 roses. I have nothing on my planned list, but can pull something out. Wanted to check to see what everyone's plan is for this...if we're going to miss it, I won't worry about just one more book...
I'm reading one now about a head of security for a big time rock band. Wonder if that counts as blue collar?

For me, that series was one of those rare ones where each new books seemed to just get a little better and better than the previous.
