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?
This is the fourth book in the Kilgore Fire series. You don’t have to read them in order. They are stand alones. But you will definitely want to read all of
them. I have loved each and every one of
the books, and the characters. I
couldn’t put this one down. I was even
happy about my baby needing a 3am feeding because it gave me the excuse to read
some more.
This is a second chance novel. Dean is a fireman/medic, but he is also part
of the SWAT team. He is one of their
medics.
July, is Wolfe’s younger sister. With what happened to Wolfe, I can understand
her fears about Dean being on the SWAT team.
Ultimately that’s what ended their relationship the first time.
It’s been a year since the breakup. You can see how much they love each
other.
I love how stubborn July is.
And how kinky and alpha Dean is.
Those scenes were H.O.T.!
There were a couple scenes that had me worried and tearing
up. No, I won’t say which parts because
I don’t want to give anything away. I
will say I wasn’t expecting a certain thing to happen at all though.
With everything that July went through, I’m amazed at how
strong she is. She definitely is
gangsta. You’ll understand what I mean
when you read this!
Now this wouldn’t be a Lani book if the quotes didn’t have
me laughing.
“Dear Women, he does not want a new watch for Valentine’s Day. He wants you to dress like a slut, handcuff
him to the chair, give him a blowjob.
AND swallow. His wishes are
really that simple.” ~ Words of Wisdom
“One does not simply walk past his woman in the kitchen and
not smack her ass. If she’s there, and
your hand is free, you do it.” ~ Man Code
“Do you think the guy that invented vibrators heard voices
say, “If you build it, they will come?” ~Random Thoughts
