Review of Holiday Heat (Firework Girls Book 5) by Jordyn White
Sophie's new start at a new college gets off to a bang when she throws her beer at Hartman's most notorious womanizer with the parting words, "Go fuck yourself, you sorry sack of shit." And of course someone recorded it and now the video's gone viral. When she finds out that same womanizer is going to be at the week long ski trip she's going on with her cousin Jack and his wife Sam (from Nuclear Heat), and their friends, she's less than thrilled. But she soon finds that Bobby is not really the jackass she had thought, so it's easy to allow herself to indulge in their mutual attraction. She'll need to guard her heart, though, because Bobby is quick and adamant to inform her that it's just for the week and just casual, that he doesn't do love or relationships. Sigh...
This is an age old trope, but Jordyn does it well and without nearly the ott drama that can be so prevalent in NA and YA romance. I really ended up liking Sophie and Bobby together. They're both sweet and not without their own baggage, but I like how they worked through it. OK, I may have wanted to scream at Bobby a little when he pulled his bonehead move, but aside from that, I found him sweet. Sophie is the real star, though. She's sweet and feisty, and her joy while exploring the Hemingway monument was just plain adorable. This is probably the best of the Fireworks Girls series so far - I can't wait for more.
