Publisher's summary

As the mechanic for Blackbridge Security, when I make a mistake, things don’t work properly. Correcting that mistake is the only way to get things operational. I meet issues in my personal life with the same mindset. How was I to know the woman I’ve been flirting with at the gym is the same woman I called a noise complaint on? I got her kicked out of her condo. My first response: Move in with me. When she confessed to having three kids, it was too late to back down. I thought keeping my hands off of her was going to be a problem, but the tiny terrors she brought along with her are extremely effective at solving that problem for me.

Another great story!!

I love how we still learn tidbits about the other chats even though it is their book.

Sad I only have 2 more left.
And Puff Daddy has a bird fiend!

Love this!!

Love when Jacob can use his normal accent, although he does nake it heavier! He's so good!!! Callie is a great complement to Jacob, and I've enjoyed their pairings in this whole series.

My Thoughts on Controlled Burn

Talk about another amazing, intense, roller-coaster ride of a story. This book had quite the gamut of feelings and unexpected twists. There was a lot of laughter, a little bit of darkness and lots of steam. And all the while I loved Kendall, Finn, the kids, and all the other Blackbridge couples. Watching them grow and getting more of their happily ever after’s is one of my favorite things about continuing to read this series. I loved this one from beginning to end even as the ending left me with one heck of a confusing shock. I will be excitedly looking forward to the release of the next book.

I absolutely LOVED the narration. Jacob Morgan with an Irish accent is amazing and I can't get enough of him voicing the parrots. Callie Dalton once again brought the emotion and energy and just overall great tone I could listen to over and over. Her accent wasn't quite as strong as Jacob's but it was ok cause I still enjoyed her overall.

Absolutely the best yet!!

OMG!! Two hilarious parrots! Finn has finally met his match in Kendall. Where Finn is neat and orderly, Kendall is utter chaos. Toss in an MC out for revenge and three littles, and you get one wonderful read. It has suspense, drama, and lots of steam, too. Highly recommended. Jacob Morgan is absolutely fantastic!!!!

Wonderful Story!

I couldn't put this one down!! I devoured it in one sitting.
I love this world and all the characters in it!

Finnegan

Totally loved Finnegan and his accent and narrator totally did it. These two narrators did a great job with all the usual characters of the series both humans as well as the birds. They put emphasis in all the right places throughout the story, and brought each scene to life.
Loved listening to Finnegan and Kendall’s growth to their HEA.

Months later… I return to this one

I went through several of the books in this series a few months ago but this is the one I searched for in my collection today. I cried when hearing the love and despair Kendall experiences for her kiddos. I love hearing about the other couples while they help Finn navigate these adventures.

One of the Better Stories

I liked the action, conversations intertwined with the characters thoughts. It gave depth to story.

Really great story

I love how the two characters couldn't be more different and yet they were perfect for each other.

Humorous, Thrilling, and Detailed.

One lines that only kids can deliver. Rippling six packs for days and even hand grenades don't stop you from finishing this book!
