Get ready for another Sullivan bad boy to fall in love in the third book of Bella Andre's bestselling contemporary romance series!
Gabe Sullivan risks his life every day as a firefighter in San Francisco. But after learning a brutal lesson about professional boundaries, he knows better than to risk his heart to his fire victims ever again. Especially the brave mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire... and can't stop thinking about.
Megan Harris knows she owes the heroic firefighter everything for running into a burning building to save her and her seven-year-old daughter. Everything except her heart. Because after losing her navy pilot husband five years ago, she has vowed to never suffer through loving - and losing - a man with a dangerous job again.
Only, when Gabe and Megan meet again and uncontrollable flames of desire ignite between them, how can he possibly ignore her courage, determination, and beauty? And how can she deny not only his strong bond with her daughter - but the way his sweetly sensual kisses are challenging her to risk everything she's been guarding for so long?
This winter, if one - or both - of them aren't careful, they just might end up falling in love.

"ANOTHER WORTHY WINNER FROM MS. ANDRE"
If you're anything like me, then you'll want passion, a great emotional storyline, a handsome hero, some hot and heavy and great characters from your romance downloads and this has it all in buckets.
I'm loving this series and can't wait to ride the emotional roller coaster from the next Sullivan offspring and I'm soooo thankful it's a big family so there's plenty more to come.
Worth a credit? Hot sexy fireman rescues damsel in distress errr that would be a YES.
I love books, it's my great escape.
"Can't Help Falling in Love with the Sullivan’s"
I am captivated by Bella Andre’s contemporary romance series. I was thinking that the 3rd time would not be a charm. I was totally wrong; book #3 is a charm. Take my word for it you will fall in love with the story of sexy Gabe Sullivan and Megan. I love a good romance with a hero and Gabe fits the bill. He also delivers the sexy too! Book #4 is already downloading. I can’t wait to get to the next book in this series. This is one of the best series I have discovered this year.
I love witty, fast-paced books that keep you turning the page.
"Story lines just keep getting better"
I'm with the other reviewers who have noticed that the story lines in this series just keep getting better. The reluctant widow (Megan) who doesn't want to get involved with another man in a risky job (Gabe- the firefighter) is a surprisingly endearing plot that is well crafted. I found myself listening even when I wasn't commuting just to find out what was going to happen next. On to book 4!
I enjoy many types of books and am always looking for new authors to read and listen too. I enjoy reading the reviews and adding my own from time to time.
"Firefighters know how to handle all kinds of fire"
I liked the story. It was easy to follow and you could identify with the characters. A very good love story. Fighting sadness from your past is something I can identify with. I like the family interactions between the Sullivans. I will listen to all of the books but since all are not available at this time, will have to read part of the series first. Hopefully, soon, all of them will be on audible and I can have a whole weekend of Sullivan brothers and sisters.The narration was very good.
That sexy fireman, Gabe. Who else would it be. I liked Megan of course but really, Gabe would be hard to resist as a favorite. Liked his whole character and not just the sexy part.Her daughter Summer is a good character also and I liked her part in this story.
The rooftop scene where they watch the fireworks on New Years.
I liked it.
Really wish that all this series was already on audible although the last book is not out as yet.
"One Hot Fireman!"
4.5 Stars
Can’t help falling in love is the 3rd book in The Sullivans series by Bella Andre. I listened to this book in audio format and absolutely loved it! The narrator, Eva Kaminsky, has an uncanny ability to make each character come alive. She even does a really good job with the child in this book. In my experience children can come off way over the top or annoying, but Ms. Kaminsky didn’t seem to have this problem. The story and the characters were endearing. The romance was heartfelt and beautiful.
Megan Harris has been through so much in her life. Raising a child alone, after the loss of her husband, she’s been tough and gave Summer the best life she could. Fate has decided to kick her, yet again. There was a fire in her apartment barely sparing the life of her and Summer and that was thanks to the heroic fireman who came to their rescue. Working hard to get her life back on track they go to the firehouse to take cookies as a thank you. The little girl quickly has a huge case of hero worship and Gabe seems equally taken with her. Megan finds herself drawn to Gabe, however his feelings seem to be the complete opposite for Megan. He acts as if she is a pain in his neck and he can’t get away from her fast enough. Things are about to get sticky, considering Megan has reunited with her dear friend, Gabe’s sister, and there seems to be a very good chance that her and Gabe will be thrown together socially.
Gabe Sullivan is blown away by the instant zing he feels when he sees Megan. He knew he respected her after the rescue of her and her daughter. Her strength and love of her daughter is one of the main reasons he was able to get the pair out of that burning apartment alive. But, he’s made a promise to himself that he would never again get involved with a woman that he’s rescued. In his opinion, it sets up huge expectations that a normal relationship can’t stand up to. Resisting Megan and her beautiful little girl is going to be one of the hardest things Gabe has ever had to do.
I really like how Megan deals with Gabe’s reaction to her. Because of her husband’s untimely death due to his adrenaline addiction she has no interest in any man who has a high risk life. Yet, she this huge attraction with Gabe is so hard to fight.
Gabe was so sweet with Summer. I absolutely loved how he treated the little girl like a person and respected Megan so much for being a good mother. The journey the two take to overcome the fears they have as a result of their past is so bittersweet. The romance they share together is so lovely and fun to melt into.
I absolutely love this series. This book did not disappoint in a
"It was an easy listen"

"Author is Amazing, Narrator is Awesome, Loved It !"
I never read the print version but the Narrator does a great job for this series.
Gabe, for not giving up
every character was performed perfectly
I was surprised how much I am enjoying this series because love stories without Vampires, Etc... arent my usual read. This book kind of frustrated me but it is worth listening too for sure.
Just plain loved this story.
"Entertaining and Fun"
This series is light and entertaining. If you are expecting great literature, you will be disappointed, but if you are looking for a well-written romance that follows the traditional formula, these stories are fun. The narration is easy to listen to, the Sullivan family are too good to be true, but likeable, and Bella Andre writes a steamy love scene as well as any I've read. Good for bedtime listening of if you want to switch your brain off and enjoy yourself.
