BOOK REVIEW- Fire Me Up -A Bad-Boy Workplace Romance (Pine Mountain #5) by Kimberly Kincaid

  

General Fiction (Adult) | Romance 

Description

Ingredients:

One bad-boy chef with a broken arm and a head full of bad memories.

One tough as nails kitchen-phobe who has to run her father’s pub with no notice, no cash, and no room for error.

One reluctant deal that keeps him in the kitchen and her out of hot water.

Mix well and see if these two can stand the heat in the kitchen.

Serve with a side of workplace romance, forced proximity, scorching hot banter, and a sexy, hard-won happily ever after.

Fire Me Up is an updated version of the fourth full-length Pine Mountain novel that was originally published in 2015. This edition has been edited and updated for readability and added steam.

4 STARS

 This story started out strong with really good main characters. You could also see that they were both running themselves ragged even though it was for totally different reasons. The differences don't stop there either. Teagan will do just about anything to NOT be cooking in a kitchen.  Adrian lives to be cooking in a kitchen.  They each have deep reasons for those feelings.
I was enjoying the story until for me it began to feel like it was dragging somewhere in the middle. So I liked it for the most part, except for that slow down.
Something that I found interesting when it came to cooking was how Adrian was taught by his grandmother.  To feel the food he was preparing and to listen to it and think outside the box. 
Teagan's love for her father is clear. He is charming but also irresponsible in some ways. Thus putting them all in danger.  He was stubborn like his daughter and had me shaking my head more than once. 
The story picks up and comes to a good ending.
