New York Times bestselling author Jaci Burton is back with a friends-to-lovers romance sure to melt hearts as one smokin'-hot fireman turns up the heat on love.
Relationships. Firefighter Rafe Donovan avoids them whenever possible. He loves dating women, but he makes sure they know up front that he's in it for fun, great sex and nothing more.
Fun. As an ER nurse and official caretaker of her disabled grandfather, Carmen Lewis doesn't have time for fun. But Rafe has been there for Carmen--and her grandfather--time and again, and he's clearly interested in her. She knows he's a player, but she's tempted by his charm and incredible body. And maybe a little fun isn't a bad thing, as long as she keeps her heart away from this fiery game she's enjoying with a very hot man.
Love. It doesn't take Rafe long to realize that until now he's only been playing at romance. With Carmen he feels searing passion and heart-tugging emotion for the first time. Now he has to convince Carmen that what they have together is the real deal.

Liza's Review:
Ignite on Contact is the 2nd book in the Brotherhood by Fire series from Jaci Burton. I have to say Rafe and Carmen gave me all the happy feels in this book. First of all, they started off as only friends, and I love me a good friends to lovers romance.
Rafe has always been a bit of a player, but he has also always been there to help out Carmen and her grandfather when needed, along with his brothers. Carmen has been all about work and caring for her grandfather since her divorce, and she is not looking for any new relationship, especially with a former player.
I loved the smoking hot chemistry between Rafe and Carmen, and it always felt like more than just chemistry to me, even when Carmen was fighting against her feelings for Rafe. I did like how strong Carmen was, yet hated there was extra drama that felt unnecessary at times. I really loved that Rafe loved Carmen enough to be there even when she pushed him away, and still listen to her feelings and give them validation.
I will say the relationship between Rafe and his brothers is seriously part of the reason I love this book and the entire series of books so much. I love they made a family for themselves even before they were adopted by their parents. The strength of their connection and love gave me all the happy feels as I read this story.
Ignite on Contact was a great addition to this series, and I look forward to reading the next book and getting Kal's story. Those Donovan brothers are smoking hot and sexy firefighters, and I'm here for every moment of their stories.
