Middle-grade and YA author England (Spellhacker) makes their adult romance debut with a scorching hot romance between a firefighter and a chemist who specializes in starting fires. Two years ago, Nic left Seattle to complete her master’s degree in fire dynamics and to put some space between herself and her unreciprocated feelings for her best friend, Skylar. Kira, a bisexual woman firefighter who keeps getting turned down for well-deserved promotions at the firehouse, develops a close friendship with Skylar in Nic’s absence. When Skylar announces her plan to quit her job, deactivate her heavily followed social media accounts, and move to Fiji, Kira and Nic think she’s being reckless and get together to stop her. As all their shenanigans fizzle out, the tension and feelings between Nic and Kira rapidly heat up, and they’ll have to figure out if they can overcome their own fears and anxieties and move on from the past to build a new future together.
VERDICT This heartfelt sapphic romance is the perfect book for readers wanting a lighthearted, steamy story with mental health awareness and a hilarious queer found family.
