Never Too Hot is part of Bella Andre’s Hot Shots: Men of Fire series.

Connor MacKenzie is my ideal hero. He’s a hunky firefighter still struggling with the trauma inflicted by the Desolation wildfire two years ago that left him with serious burns on his arms and hands. As someone who defined himself by his job, Connor can’t handle losing his position as a Hot Shot Tahoe firefighter forever, but as he’s on his last appeal with the Forest Service he might just have to.

In an effort to get his mind off the immediate future, Connor decides to return to his summer childhood vacation retreat in order to fix it up for his brother’s upcoming nuptials. He’s expecting peace, familiarity, and time to work out the remaining aches and pains of his hands. Instead he finds Ginger Sinclair.

Ginger is a newly divorced woman who has come to Poplar Cove to revel in her new freedom. She’ll wear what she wants, talk how she wants, eat what she wants, do what she wants, and live how she wants. None of her wants include a man like Connor MacKenzie who appears at first so much like her sleazy husband. If only he would disappear and her life could go back to what it was before his unexpected arrival.

I really liked Ginger’s and Connor’s love story, and the author’s use of setting to force them together repeatedly. Plus Connor is way yummy. However, their story kept getting hijacked to deal with the reunion of Andrew (Connor’s father) and Isabel (Ginger’s friend), something I wasn’t interested in reading in the least. At least, not as part of this book, maybe if it had been its own stand alone instead of a little side romance I would have felt differently. But, if you’re looking for a little more mature romance in your romances then you will want to read about Andrew and Isabel as well as Connor and Ginger.

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)
