I loved this emotional,and sexy forbidden romance! It has a little of everything that I look for, wonderful characters, moving story line, great banter, and steamy passion! Megan and Becker have a tantalizing meet cute behind the bar that Becker owns. They have an instant connection and chemistry. They act on that chemistry with a night of explosive passion. They didn't open up completely about who they were, since Megan was only in town for a short time. Unfortunately, a repeat night is out of the question, when they discovered the next day, that each is a hard limit they both try to avoid. For Becker, he avoids relationships, especially with the sister of his friend and colleague. Megan avoids relationships with firemen because of the tragic loss of her firefighter father, and seeing how devastated her mom was afterward. But Megan and Becker can't avoid their magnetic pull, no matter how hard they try and fight it. I really liked Megan and Becker as they helped each other break down their walls and open their hearts. Megan was strong and independent while Becker was so sweet and swoony. Ms. Blakely weaved a beautiful and seductive love story with genuine characters, witty banter and explosive chemistry. It didn't have over the top angst, or drama, but still had the emotional ardor that I love. I really loved Erin Mallon, and Joe Arden together. Their voices really complimented each other and they were each absolutely perfect for Megan and Becker. Their comedic timing and heartfelt performances were amazing and they made this romance even better.
