If you're a fan of second-chance romances with a dash of suspense, 'Firefighter's Second Chance' by Roya Kingsley is a must-read. The chemistry between Jason and Scarlett is electric, and their emotional journey had me flipping pages way past my bedtime.

The small-town setting adds a cozy yet intense backdrop to their rekindled romance. I loved how the author weaved in the suspense element—Scarlett's stalker situation kept me on edge, making it impossible to put the book down.

Jason is the ultimate book boyfriend—protective, loyal, and still heartbroken over Scarlett after all these years. His firefighter persona only adds to his charm. Scarlett’s return to Cedar Ridge felt realistic, and her internal conflict about trusting Jason again was relatable.

The alternating POVs between Jason and Scarlett gave depth to their characters and made their love story even more compelling. The fake relationship trope was executed perfectly, with just the right amount of tension and heat.

My only gripe? Some parts felt a bit choppy, but the twists and turns more than made up for it. The epilogue wrapped everything up beautifully, leaving me with that warm, fuzzy feeling only a great romance can deliver.

If you love small-town romances with suspenseful undertones, this book is for you. Just be warned—you might forget about dinner like I did!
