Fanning the Flames

USA TODAY bestselling author Victoria Dahl is playing with fire in her sassy and sexy new contemporary romance series, Girls' Night Out. Get a taste with this novella, Fanning the Flames…

Burning for you

Some men are off-limits. Close friends of your ex-husband, for instance. Or firefighters who work in the same building as you. Yet despite her best judgment, librarian Lauren Foster can't help noticing fire captain Jake Davis whenever he jogs by…shirtless. They've always been friends, but all it takes is one not-so-chance meeting at a local bar and one not-quite-innocent walk home to ignite a fierce, uncontrollable desire between them.

Widower Jake Davis has tried to ignore the spark he feels whenever Lauren's around, but once he sees her curves in a little black dress, there's no turning back. No matter how often she says she's all wrong for him, the sexy, outspoken divorcée is driving him wild in the best possible way. Maybe she's just blowing off steam. Or maybe he can convince her to fan these flames into something deeper, hotter and truer than they ever expected….

I'm a huge fan of Victoria Dahl and was so excited to see her newest series available for review on NetGalley. 

Lauren Foster is probably my favorite character Victoria Dahl has ever written. She knows what she wants and doesn't want and makes no excuses. She wants to live her life how she wants and really doesn't want anyone to tell her she can't. She had been attracted to Jake Davis for a long time, but knows they should never hook up since she is so different from his late wife.

Jake is equally attracted to Lauren, so much so he forgets his daughter might come home at any minute when he finally gets Lauren alone in his house. I personally loved the chemistry between Jake and Lauren and especially loved they were a couple in their 40's not their 20's.

I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the new Girls' Night Out series from Victoria Dahl.
