Review: Up in Flames by Jennifer Blackwood
Sloane Garcia has butted heads with Reece Jenkins ever since he was a colossal jerk of epic proportions on a night she’d rather forget. So what if he’s overconfident, ultramasculine, and hard muscled? When she finds out he’s on the auction block at the annual firefighter’s charity event, she decides to give this cocky firefighter a dose of his own medicine. Now that she’s won the hunk, he’s on call—to do whatever Sloane wants.
Sure, Reece and Sloane had a rocky start, but he had his reasons. None of that matters now that he’s the bachelor at her beck and call, tasked with granting her four wishes in four weeks. He runs into burning buildings for a living, but nothing will be as tough as dousing the flames Sloane ignites in him. What started out as just a game might end up with Reece losing the one thing he swore he’d never give up: his heart.
This is an enemies to lovers story. Something happened a year ago that made Sloane hate Reece.
In this book the firefighter captain has it against Reese for whatever reason, I really don't remember anything about this from the first book, and so the captain makes Reece participate in the four for four charity auction.
The person who pays the money for this firefighters have four weeks to make them do four tasks of their choice. Once Sloan sees Reece up for auction she thinks it is the best way to get revenge.
As much as I love the first book I thought I was going to love this one too and I did like it but I didn't love it as much as I did the first one. I love the banter between Sloane and Reece and some of the tasks that Sloane thought to have Reece do where hilarious.
What I found lacking was the deeper connection that the characters of the first book had. This book was more of a quick light read. This does not mean that I am going to quit reading this series. I'm looking forward for the next book.
