About the Author

New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Deborah Bladon, has never read a romance hero she didn't like. Her love for romance novels began when she was old enough to board the bus, library card in hand to check out the newest Harlequin paperbacks. She's a Canadian by heart, and by passport, but you can often spot her in New York City sipping a latte and looking for inspiration for her next story. Manhattan is definitely her second home.

She cherishes her family and believes that each day is a gift for writing, for reading, and for loving.

    Another great start to a new series for Deborah. I am a huge fan of this author and I have purchased every thing she has published. I purchased this book weeks ago but refused to read it until the next one came out because I know how the endings in the first and second book goes so I was trying very hard to resist making myself crazy waiting on the next book. Well I couldn't stand looking at my kindle unread books anymore so I read it. I loved it. Dane is awesome and Bridget is so sweet and they are so good to each other. The ending threw me but I'm sure Deborah will make us all happy by the end. Highly recommend this to all. Especially if you like hot sexy firemen and a really sweet heroine. I also love how all of her book intertwine.

    Loved this book. I know their relationship started off as a night of hot sex however when Dane spots Bridget in a restaurant, he is blindsided. She is the one. I loved that because it does happen in real life. It happened to my parents! My dad knew as soon as he saw my mum. He even told his mother that night that he'd found the woman he was going to marry. I can't wait to read the next book. Easy to read, great storyline and no silly over the top drama. I've bought all of Deborah's books and have read most of them. I like her writing style. Hell I'd even read her shopping list if she'd let me!

    Miss Blandon is great!!! How she manages the facts to make two strangers meet each other and involve into a great relationship is awesome. This fireman is gorgeous but also a chevalier, and the most important thing he talks straight, not hiding anything. He also supports Bridget with her drawing, something she was hiding with her low self confidence. But as anything is prefect, he has some issues with his ex girlfriend, when they thought things could get better, Bridget suffers an accident...... I 'll go running for the next book

    I loved Deborah Bladon's installment style of writing. Once again, Bladon continues her story telling with characters Dane and Bridget. I loved how it kicked off with a bang as Dane comes to the rescue literally to Bridget - and he's a fire fighter as well! Bladon has an enigmatic writing style which captures her readers. I love how she leave's us hanging for installment #2.

    Very easy reading style, engaging characters - can be read as a stand alone trilogy or building on previous works and characters - will help make sense of some of the present situations Bladon's characters describe.

    Curious to see how the plot and story line develop. Refreshing spin that it's the female thinking in short term, here and now timelines. Enjoy the fact that it's not another story about some millionaire!!! Love the fact the male is what might be considered an "average Joe".

    Deb does it again😋. She keeps you in touch with previous characters you have already connected with while bringing a new HOT HOT HOT couple who come together when the sexy man intervenes in a date gone wrong. Bridgett is finding her way to continue doing what she loves. Dane is moving forward from his relationship he no longer wants. The conversations are as fun and interesting with the amazing characters who strongly support each other in their friendships. I am so itching for the next releases.

    Deborah Bladon is a great novella writer. Ember was another good one from her - although the plot was a tad predictable if you have read even a few of her books. Great writing, little to no errors, good story line. Short but worth the read and follow through on the other parts of the series.

    I just finished Ember and I really enjoyed it. Bridget is on a blind date when she meets Dane. Grant it, he ends up saving her but it brings them together quickly and is ending up turning out to be more for the both of them. I loved the story line, loving the characters. It ended very quickly and wasnt expecting it. Headed to part 2!!

    Deborah Bladon can do no wrong in my opinion and I enjoy every book from start to finish. I devoured Ember and although I expect cliffhangers from Deborah this one was a killer. Dane seems like the perfect guy and seems like the type who likes to rescue and save...well, he will be tested now for sure!

    This book gripped me from the first page and yes I stayed up until the middle of the night just to read "one more page". Of course when I finished the book had to download the second. Excellent read from Deborah Bladon. She has a way of making you fall In Love with the characters, even though sometimes you know they are bad.
