Review / Release Blitz: The Dating Dilemma (Mile High Firefighters #2) by Mariah Ankenman

Release Date: January 24

Lexi Martin is on the eve of her birthday and all she has to show for it is debt, a crappy apartment, a nonexistent social life, and a somewhat evil cat. So maybe she might be excused for thinking the extraordinarily hot fireman in her office might be an early birthday present from her roommate. Except that Dyson O’Neil isn’t a stripper. He’s a real firefighter. Aaaand excuse me while I burn in the fires of humiliation.


Dyson hasn’t believed in love for a long time. But between his reputation as “One Night O’Neil” and his matchmaking sisters, he needs make a bold move. And so he makes Lexi an offer. He’ll help her youth center pass a fire safety inspection—if she’ll pretend to be his girlfriend. But one kiss in and he’s in over his head.


Now their sizzling kisses are far from fake, and it’s a disaster. Because that means the heat between Lexi and Dyson is real. And where there’s smoke, someone’s heart will definitely be going down in flames…

MY REVIEW

When Dyson's dispatched to a center to inspect it for fire regulations, he gains much more than just an inspection when he meets the center's director and agrees to help her pass the next time they're inspected if she agrees to be his fake girlfriend.

Lexi's thinking this "firefighter" isn't so much a firefighter as a birthday present and a strip o gram when he shows up all muscular and hot to "inspect" her youth center. Luckily for her, not only is he a real firefighter, but he's got a heart of gold and agrees to help her pass inspection next time. One little thing she has to do is be his fake girlfriend. But that's no problem as long as she keeps her heart out of it and remembers they aren't real. No problem...

Aww, I loved this one! Lexi and Dyson are so sweet together. They both have insecurities, though, so made things a tad difficult at times, but in the end they figured everything out and found happiness with each other. Their chemistry is hot, they're funny and adorable, and I can't wait for more firefighters to fall in love now.

Coming back to my small Wyoming hometown was supposed to be temporary. I only planned to stay long enough to help my ailing mother and sort through the mess of my family’s old belongings.

He’d taken it off the market and moved in before I got there. I just never got the memo. Unfortunately, there was no other place in town available, so Evan let me stay. Evan—the guy my parents took in years a...

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
