Fall For Me

by JC Emery

Fall for Me is book one in the Ladder Company Series.  When I read that this was about fireman, I said, of course, sign me up.

Synopsis:

Melanie Kincaid is a trust-fund baby with a knack for sassy comebacks and unnecessarily complicating her privileged life. So, of course she would have to fall in love with a man she can't have.

Jameson Hayes is a NYC firefighter for Manhattan’s oldest ladder company with big shoes to fill and a city to protect. He’s strong, sexy, and not looking for the complications Melanie brings. But he can't stay away from her either. The attraction between them is immediate and the pull between them is crazy powerful. But she's only home for the summer and long-distance relationships never work.

Unfortunately, Melanie’s beauty and smart mouth are a lethal combination and Jameson isn't the only Hayes who's interested. As if his brother isn't enough to compete with, now the city's most famous arsonist wants to claim her as his next prize. Jameson can't stand to watch Melanie get hurt and she can't seem to keep herself out of trouble.

Fall for Me is the first Ladder Company novel, a stand-alone companion series about New York's most elite firefighting family with hot alpha heroes, snarky heroines, and an arsonist hell-bent on destruction.

I fell for Jameson almost immediately.  He's a strong, sexy firefighter, but he also has a girlfriend. Jameson and Melanie have an instant connection, but it drove me crazy that he would not break up with his girlfriend.  As the story progresses, we get a little more about why, but it still drove me a little crazy.  Melanie was a ton of fun and I loved her.  She had a smart mouth and she was strong.  There was also a little mystery going on too, which added to the story for sure.  I loved that we weren't sure where it was going.  The banter between Melanie and Jameson was fun, and occasionally frustrating.  But I loved that Melanie was honest and laid it all out!

 

This is the first in a series, but the end is not a cliffhanger.  There is a few things not resolved, which I hope are in the next book.  This book will be live on 4/30, so make sure and grab a copy.  It's a fun and sexy read, I would give it 4 strong stars.
