Playing with Fire

Hot in Chicago Series #2

De: Kate Meader

Narrado por: Amelie Griffin

As the only female firefighter at Engine Co. 6, Alexandra Dempsey gets it from all sides: the male coworkers who think she can't do the job, the wives and girlfriends who see her as a threat to their firefighter men, and her overprotective foster brothers who want to shelter their baby sister at all costs. So when she single-handedly saves the life of Eli Cooper, Chicago's devastatingly handsome mayor, she assumes that the respect she's longed for will finally come her way. But it seems that Mr. Mayor has other ideas....

Eli Cooper's mayoral ratings are plummeting, his chances at reelection dead in the water. When a sexy, curvaceous firefighter gives him the kiss of life, she does more than bring him back to the land of the living; she also breathes vitality into his campaign. Riding the wave of their feel-good story might prop up Eli's flagging political fortunes, but the sizzling attraction between them can go nowhere; he's her boss, and there are rules that must be obeyed. But you know what they say about rules: They're made to be broken.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The themes of staying true to yourself and the impact of family legacies make for an interesting storyline." ( RT Book Reviews)

Romance at it's Best!

I loved both books in this duet, family, tradition, love. This is what love of family, relationship is all about. Kate Meader, you have a big new fan!

Playing With Fire

Alex is the baby sister and only girl in the Demsey firefighter clan and she has caught the eye of the Mayor. She also has a foul mouth and temper to rival a mean dog but she is loyal to a fault so don't get on her bad side. Mayor Eli Cooper wants Alex and even if he has to manufacture a reason to keep her close. These two are spectacular together. The chemistry is explosive and the narrator on the audio version of this one was much, much better than the first. I just wish the third was out in audio!

Story good. Narration not so much

The story is good but the narration wasn't what I have come to expect. I believe I would have rated it higher with better narration. Those of us who listen to a lot of books understand the importance of the narrator.

4 stars

I liked this one a lot more than book 1. The narrator and storyline kept me interested.

This story is predictable

I can handle predictable. I like the author and the last book in the series. I HATED the reader. She made the book more booring than ever. I couldn’t finish Playing w Firebecause of her annoying and bland style. Over all, meh...,
