 Trouble has a name, and that name is DANGERFIELD.. and her cute fireman.

Overall reco: Adorable. This book was exactly what I was looking for and expecting in the series. Stupid amount of dumb luck. Cute moments. Great spice. 5 Stars for a novella.

Plot: 4/5
Spice: 3/5
Characters: 4/5

(The Good)
There was backstory but it wasn't more than a few lines that really just ironed out a few quick questions. We didn't have multiple flashbacks of sad moments and woe is the FMC or the MMC. It was just right into it with a lot of unfortunate events that worked out in the readers favor.
I feel like I need to add here that I read this on a plane with a screaming child in the row next to me and I turned my music up and got lost in this sweet little slice of heaven.
It's fast paced and the book FLIES a lot happens in those pages, sooo much.
And the spice was good, well described, HOT.

(The Bad)
I NEED TO KNOW THEY WORKED OUT. PLEASE. Jokes aside, for a novella this was pretty much perfect.
