Fire and Icing

The Firemen of Waterford, TN, Book 1

By: Savannah Scott

Narrated by: Amelia Hugh, Ryan Lee Dunlap

Talk about making a bad first impression.

The rookie at Waterford's fire station literally hauled me out of my own home, over his shoulder. Was my kitchen on fire? Yes. Did I have it nearly contained? Also yes.

And now he's been tasked with making up for his overzealous rescue attempts by showing up to my bakery to grovel daily. And beg for my donuts.

Don't get me wrong, the man is built like a redwood, has the personality of a golden retriever, and eyes you could get lost in for days.

But I'm not dating. Not after my last serious boyfriend left town without looking back. I'm devoted to three things: my hometown, my bakery, and my friends.

That is, until an opportunity to enter a baking contest catches my eye. And I need a partner. Enter the rookie. Yes, the same one who easily lifted me and slung me over his shoulder. My best friend and business partner, bless her heart, suggests we fake a relationship—just for the sake of the contest. It seems like a simple fix.

Don't worry. It's not like I'm going to fall for him. I'm immune to his charms. Mostly.

Fire and Icing is a sweet, closed-door romcom with kisses that might require a fire extinguisher. This standalone story is the first in the series The Firemen of Waterford, TN.

A sweet firefighter romance!

“I don’t know. I think a fireman throwing me over his shoulder would be hot under almost every circumstance I could dream up.”

The narrators did a great job bringing Dustin and Emberleigh’s story to life! From the initiation of Dustin at the fire house, to the meet ugly, donut pick ups, banter, only one bed, and golden retriever MMC, this story will have you smiling, giggling, tearing up, swooning, and rooting for Emberleigh and Dustin!!

“You’re not losing me. I’m like a rash. You’ll try to scratch me and I’ll just grow on you.”

From a most unfortunate first call as a rookie, Dustin found himself tripping over his pants, carrying a woman out of her house, and managing to get on her bad side…he’s got a lot to make up for! And he is determined to find a way to help Emberleigh see he is not a ‘manhandling oaf.’ He agrees to help Emberleigh join a television baking contest as her ‘fake’ boyfriend, and oh my, does their story have tension 🔥!!

“The deepest wounds in life are often inflicted by those closest to us, Sunshine. That’s not because they’re the worst people. It’s because they live closest to our hearts, so they have a straight shot that others simply don’t have.”

loved, loved this hilarious rom com

this is one of the best books I've listened to in a long time! it's funny and you can just picture everything that's happening and the girl that's the baker is really trying to resist this cute honky fireman and it's really hilarious especially when they go to a baking contest together. I highly recommend this book!!

A new town to fall in love with!

This is a great first book in this series. I wasn't convinced at first that Emberleigh and and Dustin could fall for each other so quickly but I was pleasantly surprised how their story turned out. I love that there's a while town to meet and fall in love with and I'll be starting the next book right away!
