Hot Boy: A Second Chance, Firefighter Romance (Blue Collar Bachelors Book 4)

Had some funny moments (especially in the hospital about 3/4 of the way through, where the hero’s mother breaks some personal news that you wouldn’t expect) but overall, felt scattered, like the pieces were all there, but the puzzle wasn’t quite aligned and put together. Things were brought up (see above) for example, that only made temporary problems that weren’t dealt with again. Conflicts resolved too quickly (and didn’t seem to build up). Personality flaws (man-whoring) that were made a big deal about in the beginning...petered out and weren’t mentioned again. A secondary character is made out to be one way, and then we’re told he’s actually something else, even though we heard otherwise, thereby negating the author’s conflict set-up. (Why?)I wasn’t ever sure if I *liked* the heroine, and I’m not sure why. She felt like a collection of personality traits. I didn’t get a real bead on her. I’ve already gone and purchased all the books in this series (and read this one first) so, hopefully I won’t feel as disconnected by the story in the earlier ones.All this said, other readers probably won’t have the same reaction I had. And the writing is good, too, with good line editing. Onward!

I totally enjoyed reading this book. Great romance with some drama and steamy sex scenes. Love the characters. Can't wait to start the next book in this series. So glad that they got their happy ever after ending.

I loveee this sweet second chance small town romance and this one is definitely one of my favorite books from Cassie Ann L. Miller.He broke her heart years ago and now she's back in town, he'll do anything for a second chance but she'll do anything to guard her heart. Yes I love this kind of story.There's drama, twists and it's packed with emotions and of course there are plenty steaminess.Love how the author keep me guessing what exactly happened in the past, what's the secret.As for characters. Loveeeee Ben, he's a hot firefighter, that's enough reason to love him but add the determination to get Annie's heart and the possessiveness, this man really has my heart.And Angie, I admire this girl, she's a smart stubborn girl, love how she's trying to climb her way up after hit the rock bottom.These two bring all the funny sweet steamy banter, and they're absolutely perfect for each other. Therefore I really like this couple.Hopefully there'll be a book for Sophia and Madden.If you're looking for a sweet second chance romance, this one is a MUST-READ.

This one was a 4.5 for me. Second chance stories are tough because of all the hurt feelings and years wasted. Ben thought he made the right decisions at the time when he was younger but neither one got over it. Now they are back in the same town again with feelings and fears rearing up again. Can they move beyond the past? Is there a need for a third chance? I really liked Ben and was happy not to have him appear too piggish in the beginning (ala Charlie at the end of Lover Boy). Angie wasn't my favorite heroine but she grew on me a little. I wished that we had more of an update on Clyde and didn't skim over that.Honestly, I read all the books in this series one right after the other, eating them up. Now I'm antsy for the next one to come out! Can't wait to see if it's Sophia's story but either way I'll be grabbing it.

Punctuation issues, wrong words used, missing words. New editor needed. The story is great. You get bits and pieces of their breakup throughout, then at 80% through it's truth time. Thrown into the Epilogue, a year later, Sophia is married.

Ben.My Gigi.She's back.And she doesn't want anything to do with me.I'm going to do everything I can to win her back.And this time...I'm not letting her go.Angie.I'm back in my hometown. And not by my choice.Did HE really have to show up on my first at work?He says he wants me back.Can I really trust him again or will I end up more broken than the last time?This is a great tale of second chances and the obstacles we have to hurdle to get across the finish line.I voluntarily received and read this ARC for an honest review.

Another great one from Cassie-Ann Miller!! Angie has to move back to her home town for an intership after getting caught with her pants down. She really doesn't want to be back home and does not want to run into her first and only love Ben. Ben is a hot, dirty talking fireman that broke Angie's heart. Ben is still in love with Angie after all these years and as soon as he sees her he wants her back. But Ben is holding onto a secret and Angie doesn't want her heart broke again. Can they work through the hurt or will the secrets of the past rip them apart?

Attempted to read this twice. Got further this time all the way to chapter 3. Believed I liked the other books of the series. Just couldn't get with this one. Cringe worthy already for me. He really was so enamored that he left a podium. Idk just don't like the vibe of this book. I think because others was so good. This one vibes feel very different. Will update my review if I actually come across again and can stomach it
