4.5 Stars
This is the first book in the King family series. I'm here for it! Whip and Emily had me right form the first page. Though I'm not gonna lie not a fan of the jerky side of Whip at first. Though that man had me singing his praises in no time. This gives enemies to lovers vibe at first, but there is no denying their chemistry. Emily is in for a shock when she goes out of her comfort zone to find out her one night stand works for her fire chief dad. Let the fun begin! This book has a great sense of humor as well. The Sullivan and King rivalry pranks are still going strong. I want to be a part of the Bluebird Book Club. It sounds like my kind of fun! Emily has a lot passion for her students and I'm glad things worked out the way they did for her. Though it's a bit of bumpy road for her along the way. Whip's family has many skeletons and he didn't realize how many. That's going to be fascinating to learn more as the series goes on. This is a must read book in my opinion the perfect combo of heat, heat, and humor. I could hardly put this book down. Not gonna lie read it pretty fast. I just love this author's writing style. I'm eagerly awaiting more from this series!
BLURB:
Whip King cannot be the man for me.
Cocky, pierced firefighters are perfect for late-night rom-coms, but in real life they’re nothing but trouble. Especially when you find out they work for your dad—after you’ve already slept with them.
Moving to my parents’ small town was supposed to be the fresh start I was looking for. When a disastrous Valentine’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, and ends with the hottest night of my life, I didn’t think I would ever see Whip again.
Imagine my surprise when one of my sixth-grade students has a medical emergency and it’s Whip who shows up, looking hot as hell, to save the day. I should be embarrassed at how we left things, but instead I’m furious he doesn’t seem to remember me.
So I scrape my pride off the floor, lift my chin, and pretend there’s nothing between us. But that can last only so long. Stolen glances melt into forbidden touches, and once we give in to temptation, we can’t keep our hands off each other.
Nothing has ever felt so right, but my guarded heart won’t let me believe in happily ever after with a man like him. Opening up to Whip may be the hardest thing I’ve ever done, and every time we agree to one last time, we both know it’s a lie.
How many times can we keep telling ourselves just this once before we realize that, when it comes to love, once is never enough?
