Burnin’ for You by Jamie Lynn Miller

Lucas is a firefighter. He lost his lover and fellow firefighter two years before during duty. Now he is lonely and doesn't see an end to his pain. But one night he meets Evan: Lucas is in a pub trying to forget everything in the drunkness and here arrives Evan, young, solar and friendly. They spend a night of passion, and even if at first Lucas thinks at it ligh a one night stand, the morning after Evan asks him to see each other again. And Lucas decides to try to move on on his sadness and to give a chance to this blossoming love.

But on Monday morning Lucas discovers that the new paramedic working with his team is Evan; Lucas can't accept to start again a relationship with a man who risks his life everyday and he really try to forget Evan. But everything seems to conjure to prevent him and Evan first of all, he doesn't want to accept that they can't have a chance together.

Burnin' for You is not very long, less than 80 pages, but it's very romantic and also pretty erotic. Both Lucas than Evan are nice characters, but I like better Evan, he is so young and full of passion, he still sees the world through pink glasses. All in all the contrasts in the book are not too much harsh, and for this reason it's less angst than expected.

This is a pretty classic romance, and firefighters are always favourite in romance genre. A nice starts from an author I think will give us other interesting stories in the future.

I don't mean to be cynical and I'm not (that) cheap but I'm trying to understand. Are you serious when you say it's less than 80 pages and it costs $6.99?

The other books in their catalogs are $7.99 and $8.99... I kinda wish they would give a word count of some sort. But instead they give us the weight of the ebooks O_o

Still... thanks for your review. The book sounds good.

Yes also I have noticed that they are pretty expensive (I bought all three M/M romance) and I also made a mistake with the order, paying two time! But it was an error of mine, and so I gently ask to the customer service if they can refund the second payment, and they were very fast and very helpful in reply.

Let us know
I too find this expensive but bought it because you gave a good review and I like firemen in love. Let us know if the other 2 M/Ms under this publisher are any good, Elisa.
