Fire Loved by Christina Moore
I'm excited to participate in the Fire Loved Blog Tour. I really enjoyed Fire Born, the first in Christina Moore's Firehouse 343 series, and I'm sure I will love this one just as much if not more! You all know how much I adore firefighters, don't you? Fire Loved releases on April 11th, so get your one-click finger ready. :)
Tell us a little about Fire Loved
Simon Temple knew when he met
Laura Marshall in the third grade that he would love her forever—though it
wasn’t until middle school that she finally admitted she felt the same way
about him. College and career plans parted them for nearly a decade, but when
Simon returned to Gracechurch to join the fire department there, it was not
long before he and Laura were reunited.
For both, it was as though
they’d never been apart, and an engagement soon followed. Then Laura shocked
the entire town when she suddenly—and without explanation—called off the
wedding two weeks before they were set to walk down the aisle. No amount of
pleading on his part got an answer Simon could live with, and so he was left to
pine away for a woman whom he had loved for a lifetime, but who apparently no
longer wanted him.
Out of the blue, Laura is drawn
into a police case being investigated by Simon’s detective brother, and his
protective instincts come roaring to the surface. Will the connection between
an abandoned infant and a series of threatening phone calls be discovered
before the truth finally comes out, or will Laura take her secrets to her
grave?
Don't you just love this cover? That back is swoon-worthy!
Excerpt:
“Simon.”
He looked
toward his brother, noting once again that Sam seemed wary. Simon frowned.
“What?”
Sam cocked his
head and turned to walk toward the back of the ambulance. He leaned back
against the side of it with a sigh, “You obviously haven’t spoken to Scott yet,
which I’m not sure is a good thing or a bad thing.”
“Dude, what are
you talking about?”
Sam ran a hand
through his hair and looked at him through hooded eyes. “I sorta mouthed off to
Laura.”
Anger blossomed
in his chest, and Simon stepped closer to him. “What the fuck did you say?” he
asked.
Sam described
what amounted to a tirade, concluding with Laura’s abrupt departure, and it was
all Simon could do not to punch the younger man in the face.
“You had no
right, little brother,” he seethed. “What happened between Laura and me is none
of your damn business.”
“The hell it
isn’t!” Sam countered hotly. “You’re my brother. She fucked you up man, leaving
you like that. Not even giving you any damn explanation beyond ‘It just isn’t
going to work.’ That’s pure bullshit—you deserve better than that after all the
years you guys were together.”
Simon clenched
his fists at his sides, closed his eyes, and counted to ten in his head. After
taking a breath through his nose and releasing it slowly, he looked at his
brother. “Sammy, I appreciate that you were looking out for me, but Scott was
right—you were out of line. I repeat: What happened between Laura and me is
none of your business.”
Ooh, sounds good!!!!
