Pat's Review:
Alexandra Dempsey was the only female firefighter in Engine Co. 6. Her reputation as a "ball buster" is known far and wide, as is her family of firefighter foster brothers. She became known nationally as the firefighter who took a Lamborghini down with a saw to rescue an obnoxious newspaper owner, who hated gays and women firefighters. She is still trying to live that escapade down from a year and a half ago.
She has a very abrasive relationship with the Mayor, Eli Cooper, running for re-election after four years in office. He dislikes her family and can't help but stir her anger every time they meet.
Eli is a former Marine, a proponent of veterans rights and a politician. His ex-wife is his campaign manager, and his ratings are pretty low. He needs a hot topic to bring his name on everyone's lips. A fire in a hotel he was speaking at does the trick. Alex and the fire company were working the fire, under the impression everyone was out. But suddenly a shadowy figure in a hallway filled with smoke appears. It's Eli, carrying his ex-wife to safety. But he has wasted precious minutes breathing toxic air. Alex struggles to pull him to safety, and sees that the smoke is doing it's damage....she does the one thing that is against all regulations, she shares her air. After recovering consciousness she finds out her rescue of Eli, turns into his rescue of her. The press loves it, and his ratings soar. With some bribing and promises, Eli convinces Alex to date, just for show. Quickly things change, they both like dating for real, not show.
This enemies to lovers story is sizzling, with lots of banter and misunderstandings. Sooner or later the truth has to come out, will their new love survive?
4 STARS!
