4.5 Smooches

Synopsis

Cuddle up by the fire with the irresistible prequel to Kate Meader’s smokin’ Hot in Chicago series—originally published in the sizzling holiday anthology Baby, It’s Cold Outside—a superhot e-novella that will warm you from your head to your heart and all the way to your toes!

Chicago firefighter Beck Rivera always knew his destiny would be defined by two things: his dream to follow in the footsteps of his legendary foster father Sean Dempsey and his teenage passion for heiress Darcy Cochrane, the one girl who could both stoke and cool his fire. Loving her meant setting her free and breaking her heart—and his. But when a chance reunion at his family’s bar, sparked by a drunk Santa, places her in his path again, destiny can no longer be denied.

The last thing heiress-turned-tattoo-artist Darcy Cochrane needs is the rollercoaster of emotion stirred up by her first love: sexy, gorgeous man-on-fire Beck Rivera. But he always had such talented hands. And more talented lips. And…maybe one time can’t hurt. Then she’ll send him packing like he did to her all those years ago. But Darcy and Beck soon discover that nothing ignites holiday flames like rekindling a lost love…

Review

Rekindle The Flame by Kate Meader is a novella that was originally in the Baby, It’s Cold Outside anthology and it was how I personally first discovered Kate’s books and when I fell in love with this crew of foster kids turned firefighters that are sexily single handedly saving Chicago from the perils of flames.

This fast, fun and sexy read centers around a second chance romance between Darcy, society girl turned tattoo artist, and Beck, a drool worthy firefighter who doubted when they were younger if his blue collar job and foster kid background would be enough for the high class girl he loved. But Darcy is back in Chicago and sporting a new hot tattooed look along with the attitude to go with it and Beck is more into her than ever. He is determined to make her his again, no matter what.

For a short read, Rekindle The Flame was packed full of exciting story lines, memorable characters and smoking hot sex. The novella stood out to me even in an anthology full of more well known authors and had me hunting Kate down and begging her to let me read the rest of the series too. I highly recommend this story and hope you fall for Dacy, Beck and the rest of the Dempsey clan just like I did.
