Protecting What’s Mine by Lucy ScoreMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sometimes when you've got a pile of ARCs to read and none of them grab your fancy you need a palate cleanser of small-town sexy romance.
Fire Chief Lincoln Reed first meets Doctor Mackenzie O'Neill at a freeway pile-up when her helicopter airlifts the man he rescued from a burning car to hospital. Linc has lived in small-town Benevolence all his life and he loves playing the field with his flirty manner and classic good looks, he's the ultimate good time guy (with a heart). Lately however, he look around and all his friends are married and loved-up and he's starting to think he wants some of that for himself.
Mack was used to rescuing people in war zones, until she totally burned out on the adrenaline, now she's accepted a six-month part-time locum post at a small-town medical practice although keeping up her first response activities with the helicopter will continue. She's done with the meaningless one-night stands, but not yet ready to settle down - maybe a short-term no-strings fling is in order, but not with the fire chief - he's got commitment written all over him. Too bad they turn out to be neighbours ...
Obviously there's off the charts sparkage, and in a small town its inevitable that Linc and Mack are going to keep running into each other at parties, the diner, and town events. But Mack's past is murky and abusive, nothing like the Norman Rockwellesque family and friends Linc has, she has to hide her past from him.
Loved it, small town romance between the Fire Chief and the Doctor, BBQ parties, dogs and children, nosey friends, a bit of drama, lots of smexy times.
