Flirting with Fire: it is possible to have a second chance with a high school crush?

Flirting With Fire by Piper Rayne is the first book in the Blue Collar Brothers series. What started out as a playful prank among friends ends up with Madison Kelly winning a date with her high school crush. In high school, she was “Fatty Maddie,” and crushed on Mauro Bianco, the hot quarterback of their football team. Now, ten years later, Mauro is a firefighter and turned into a rugged, muscled man. One date and she is ready to put her crush away like the old shoebox of high school memories in her closet. But a twist of fate has Maddie and Mauro entering into a business partnership. Maddie is determined to keep it professional, the sparks still fly. Only this time, Mauro feels them too.

Flirting With Fire is a sweet, spicy romance. I related to Maddie as the introverted ugly duckling, or so she had been told, high school student who still carries those insecurities. Mauro doesn’t recognize Maddie but once he realizes who she is, he is determined to make it right. While it dragged in parts, it definitely picked up speed as the sparks flew between Maddie and Mauro. There is, of course, drama and a big misunderstanding which led to a sweet, grand gesture that brought a smile to my face. By the end of the story, I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to reading the rest of this series. If you like sweet, spicy romance with first responders, I recommend Flirting With Fire. 

Flirting With Fire is available in paperback, eBook and audiobook
