Continuing yesterday’s theme, I’ve got another book that features a former military hero.

*****

He’s ready to lead the way

Parker Wilson never thought he’d go from battle-hardened soldier to romance expert, but after his stint in the Rangers, that’s exactly what happened. As the owner of DreamMakers Inc., he helps other men win in the love department, using every resource available to plan the perfect date. When a routine recon turns into an unexpected night of passion, Parker’s mission becomes more personal—and he won’t give up until Lynn Davidson is all his.

She’s more than willing to follow

Lynn is a goner from the moment she lays eyes on the delectable Parker. She’s just ditched her boring almost-boyfriend and is tired of sticking to the straight and narrow. It’s time to walk on the wild side, and what better way than in the arms of the most irresistible man she’s ever met? But when their red-hot affair is threatened, it’ll take a team effort to make their dreams come true.

I enjoyed this story for a lot of reasons.  I’ll start with the DreamMakers itself – how fun is it that 3 ex-military guys start a dream date company?  They really do make their talents work for them and it keeps them having a good time.  It is a little kooky but totally works for me.

And the characters are a blast.  Mainly we focus on Parker and Lynn but we do get glimpses of the secondary characters outside of the main story (and it is in their voice, which at first threw me a little but started to work after a bit).  These lead to future stories and it definitely whetted my appetite for more.

Now, I need to stop here and say this is an erotic romance.  The sex is explicit (and enjoyable and HOT) but it also includes scenes with multiple partners so if that isn’t your thing then you might want to pick another story.

With that caveat, I have to say I really enjoyed the relationships – both between Lynn and Parker and also between the friends.  They are fun, humorous and touching (sometimes accompanied by a punch in the arm).  The guys are great together, typical of what you’d expect from a group of Alphas together.  And Lynn’s friend Suz is a hoot and a half.

The relationship that builds between Parker and Lynn is entertaining and it showcases how much they enjoy spending time together, which is a very realistic feature for me.  Of course there is going to be a bit of drama between the two when all of their secrets come out (it’s obvious from the beginning) but it is handled well. Although I was surprised by the ending.  It wasn’t quite the kind of story twist I was expecting but it worked well with the rest of the plot.

With a sweet and spicy romance, brotherly love and the best friend a girl could ask for, All Fired Up is a hit for me.  It kept me turning the pages and I ended it with a smile … and anticipation for the next story in the series.
