Title: Controlled Burn
Series: Kilgore Fire #4
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Romantic Suspense
July Dupree and Dean ‘PD’ Hargrove fell head over heels in love. When PD comes home to tell July the good news about joining the SWAT team as a tactical medic, everything changes.
July can’t fathom why PD would want to be a cop in this day and age. Wasn’t it enough that he already had a dangerous job with the fire department? Now he has to add another, even more dangerous, job to the equation? With so many cruel people in the world who make a sport out of hurting cops just because of the badge they wear, she has to make him understand. But when he refuses to listen to her reasoning, she feels she has no other choice but to issue an ultimatum: her or the SWAT team.
Dean doesn’t like ultimatums. He’s furious with July for putting him in the awful position of having to choose between a dream and her.
July never believes for a second that he’d choose the SWAT team over her, but she is wrong.
A year later, they’re both still in love with each other, but neither one is willing to budge regardless of their feelings.
July’s feelings for Dean haven’t changed, in fact her love for him has only grown. But seeing him living his life seemingly unaffected by the loss of what they had breaks her heart over and over each time she sees him.
Dean has a good poker face, though. He’s just going through the motions of his life until finally, the smoldering embers of his feelings erupt into a full-on blaze of emotion, burning through everything but his love for July. When the smoke clears, Dean wants to know if they can reignite the fire of their love or is he destined to live his life in a constant state of controlled burn?
Another good book from the incomparable Lani Lynn Vale. July and PD fell in love until he decides to join SWAT and once he gets hurt all bets are off and so is their relationship. Unfortunately neither one of them has truly moved on and once PD realizes that ending the relationship was a mistake he does what he can to get her back. Once again as in all of Lani's book you get the smoking hot chemistry and everything that goes along with it, you also see past characters along with men from her other series as with this particular book it all ties end. This book is filled with many twist and turns and a lot of WTF moments, all in all I loved this book and I can honestly say that anything she writes I will devour it like my next meal. Thank you Lani for your remarkable storytelling and wonderful imagination that keeps me constantly falling in love with your characters.
