Hot to the Touch (Hot in Chicago Rookies) Kindle Edition

The next book in the Hot in Chicago Rookies series features playboy firefighter, Sam Killian!

I might be a rookie Chicago firefighter, but I’m on top of the world. I’ve just earned my spot on Rescue Squad at legendary Engine 6, can get all the action I want both in and out of the bedroom, and am possessed of an enviable sneaker collection. Nothing can harsh my vibe except her—Cassandra Ferguson, my brother’s sister-in-law, or as I affectionately label her: the blister-in-law. Ever since I met her, she’s looked down her perky little nose at me, never mind that I’m a good foot taller. Apparently, I offended her with a few risqué jokes and an offer for a fun, no-strings night—crimes that have relegated me to lower than dirt in St. Cassandra's eyes.

These days we’re at a stalemate. Don’t get along, can’t get along. Only when tragedy strikes, we have no choice but to put our animosity aside for the sake of our hurting niece and nephew, who need us now more than ever. As co-guardians, Cassie and I are enemy combatants in an uneasy truce, flailing around in a no-man’s land of grief and lust, forced to work as a team.

Thing is, when Cassie and I team up—when we really work together—the results are explosive. In a sexy way. In an amazing way. Maybe … in every way. But with stakes this high, we can’t get it wrong.

Even though it feels so, so right.

    Have a tissue handy as this book starts with a heart wrenching situation where Sam and Cassie end up as guardians to a niece and nephew. Even though their grief permeates the entire story, there are some bright spots with some funny moments involving Sam’s co-workers as well as, in particular, Spencer, the nephew. I had a bit of a difficult time emphasizing with Sam and Cassie. Sam really played into his himbo persona and Cassie into her uptight, rule following identity. Background story was given as to why they were that way but it seemed to take a long time for either of them to break out of their habits.

    I received a free copy from the author. This is my unbiased review.

    A heartbreaking story. Cassandra and Sam are in laws who find themselves in a situation that is beyond difficult. I don't want to give away any spoilers but suffice to say it is an emotional ride that tears at the heart stings. Both main characters are easy to like, their support systems are incredible and the story moves along at a very good pace. The ending is quite satisfying. I could not put this book down.

    I can't believe the series is over!!! I love this rookie firefighter family!! This story was a story if Sam and Cassandra. Sam was the playboy best friend of Abby and Jude. Cassie is his sister-in-law's sister. The two haven't really ever gotten along. When tragedy strikes, they have to come together for the family. While living through that, they come to know each other in ways they haven't before. I love these two together. Loved this book and whole series!! I highly recommend! You won't be disappointed. I couldn't put it down!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Emotional Series Finale
    Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2023

    Opening this book right before work wasn’t my smartest move. It’s one of those riveting, emotional
    stories that makes you resent having to adult. I greatly resented not being able to devour it in one sitting.
    Like most great enemies-to-lovers stories, the snark and banter started immediately. Cassie and Sam,
    connected through marriage of her sister to his brother, have always had a contentious relationship. The
    two rarely see eye-to-eye. Unsurprising since they’re complete opposites. Cassie’s sensible and cautious
    while Sam is a fun-loving himbo.

    Circumstances force them together and each sees a different side of the other. Sam has more depth than
    Cassie or anyone else gives him credit for. Sam realizes there’s a reason Cassie has always been the rigid,
    responsible sister. The longer they’re together, the less their differences matter and the more they’re
    drawn to each other. The heated exchanges turn into an entirely different type of heat. The kind that
    Kate Meader excels at writing.

    I truly enjoyed Cassie & Sam’s journey finding each other and for one of them, the family they’d always
    yearned for, and the other, something they never realized they wanted. I hate that this is the final Hot in
    Chicago Rookies book, but what a way to wrap up series! Hot to the Touch is another steamy, often
    funny, and extremely emotional read I highly recommend. For a more enjoyable experience, I suggest
    reading books one and two in the series first.

    I received this book as an ARC and the following review is my true feelings about the book.
    This was a lovely ride. The book starts out with the MC biting back and forth before tragedy hits. I'm not going to lie, this section brought tears to my eyes and I felt like I was right there with the male MC. The way the MCs slowly (believably) work through their new relationship, misconceptions they had of each other, their own insecurities and children warmed my heart. There is a HEA. I would recommend this read.

    So many highs and lows…I screamed, cried, laughed & cried some more. A roller coaster of emotions. The author has a flare for taking you to the edge of the cliff & watches as you dive into a eerie series of emotions that feel so real is haunting. Exquisitely written and you won’t be able to put the book down, even through the tears~you never give up hope💋
