Blurb: Isabel Cruise spends her days investigating crimes as a detective, and her nights hoping for a man who will finally satisfy her sexual cravings. Hiding her deep desires was easy until she let herself go one night with the sexy Matt Cavanaugh, a no-strings-attached firefighter who brings just the right amount of dominance that she’s been looking for. 

Refusing to give into the idea of a real connection, an arsonist on the loose creates a divide that threatens to destroy them before they ever get started. With all clues leading to a perpetrator at Matt’s station, Isabel is forced to investigate Matt and the other firefighters at District 23. 

Will Matt and Isabel have a chance to make a real connection beyond their steamy encounters, or will she have to prosecute one of the firefighters, ruining any chance for something more?

 Review:  In this spinoff tale from “Fired Up”, we get to know Brian’s brother, Matt, and detective, Isabel Cruise.  I really loved this story!!! I love Matt’s little notes and quirks that make him the way that he is.  I love how Isabel gives up control for him and breaks the rules.  Matt is very dominating and yet still gentle for her.

I also love seeing farther into Brian and Jo’s relationship, and how it grows.  I am also glad that Jo still holds onto her strong personality regardless of circumstance.  I’m happy that Matt is still a great friend to both Jo and Brian, and helps by giving much needed advice.

The drawback I noticed in this book is that the ending felt a little rushed but I am sure we’ll see more of these two in the third installment, “Controlled Burn”.  I also felt as if the whole Matt/Isabel/Jax scenario was a little anticlimactic, but am still happy with how everything ended up.

When Caleb’s past causes doubts to rise and drama to unfold, will they be there for each other and be what the other needs?

And when all is said and done, will there still be... time for love?

Thoughts

Rough Start but a Beautiful Ending

This is my first time reading a Laura N Andrews Title and it won’t be my last. Her writing was heartfelt and her characters seemed so genuine. Though with that said I will admit I struggled with Nick’s character not that he was not genuine it was just his self-esteem was so low and at times his self-deprecating was a bit much. When I started reading Time for Love I felt it was a bit awkward, not at all smooth and completely consuming like other M/M books I have read. It quickly found its stride after a stumbling beginning and became what I have come to expect, a beautiful fairytale romance. Nick’s and Caleb’s story was without a doubt a beautiful one even with the rocky mishap. It is a story of two men getting out of their comfort zones and reaching for something neither expected to find. I absolutely loved the ending and these guys had me falling for them hard. I would recommend this book to all who enjoy a hard earned romance.
