Review: Burning for Autumn (Police and Fire: Operation Alpha) (On Call Book 1) by Freya Barker

Review of Burning for Autumn (Police and Fire: Operation Alpha) (On Call Book 1) by Freya Barker



Autumn has accepted a 1-year contract in Durango, in their burn unit. She's excited to be working with live real patients, rather than all research and stats as she did in her previous job. But she needs to get out and about and make some friends. And it's because of this need that she meets interim Chief Keith Blackfoot. Their first meeting is a little, um, wonky, as their perceptions of each other just might be off. But they strike a chord within each other and find that they can't get the other off their minds even days later.

Keith has had it with the administrative portion of his interim chief job. So heading to the local bar to unwind seems like a good idea. When he spies a gorgeous redhead, he's intrigued. Unfortunately, she misconstrues his flirting, and she's out the door. No matter, he is the Chief of Police, which means he knows how to find her. But he won't have to go that far as soon they're intertwined in each other's lives. And not all for pleasant reasons. Can Keith figure out who's setting the wave of fires in their town? Can he keep Autumn safe?


I really enjoyed the start of this new series. Autumn and Keith have chemistry for days! No one can say that only 20 somethings know how to indulge in the fine art of pleasure, at least not according to these two... The added suspense and mystery, plus an equally interesting secondary cast combine to make Burning for Autumn a sexy, action-packed first installment to the On Call series. I cannot wait for more!

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...

Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...
