Publisher Description
A standalone novel in the Jupiter Point series…
To his wildfire hotshot crew, he’s Rollo—firefighter, loyal friend, lifesaver. To his family, he’s Rollington Wareham III, black sheep and heir to a banking fortune. But now that he’s turned thirty, Rollo knows his days of firefighting and freedom are over. He has responsibilities. Duties. Goodbye hotshots, hello boardroom—and a socially acceptable bride. This is absolutely the worst time to realize just how sexy and adorable his good friend Brianna is.
Put her in a garden with some plants, and Brianna Gallagher knows just what to do. Send her on a date with an attractive man and things get awkward. Epically awkward. It’s a good thing she and Rollo are such great friends. It would be a total disaster if she started noticing his ripped physique and sculpted muscles. Kissing him is a definite no-no. As for falling into bed … well, that might be okay as long as they both know it’s a limited time deal. She doesn’t belong in his world, and he can’t stay in hers. No matter how much she’s falling for him.
But fate has a way of changing people’s plans. When a family crisis follows Rollo to Jupiter Point, he turns to the one woman he trusts above all others. Throw in a disastrous visit to Manhattan, a bride hunt, and the world’s most awkward crush, and it will take a miracle to bring them together. Or a shocking event that puts Brianna’s life at risk ...

Up in Flames
Sometimes the me we want to be is not the me we were born to be. Such is the case with Rollo “Ironman” Wareham, or more accurately Rollington Wareham III. To the Jupiter Point Hotshot crew he is one of them. To his wealthy New York family he’s the black sheep that refuses to toe the family line. Brianna Gallagher is much more at home with her garden than she is with people. Despite being “set up” by several members of the Jupiter Point community, she and Rollo are just friends, right? Things change in an instant when he kisses her. Suddenly their uncomplicated friendship is far more complicated. As Rollo tries to navigate the world of expectations, Brianna is his port in the storm. With the support of each other, Bri and Rollo break free of the bonds they’ve created for themselves and figure out how to be the me they were meant to be while still meeting the expectations of those around them.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.
Fantastic
This is a fantastic story! Brianna, Jupiter's Point landscape designer is absolutely adorable. Her clumsy, awkward and "ordinary" way is so sweetly complimented by Rollo's tough, rough mountain-man hotshot persona. Their story is sweet, tender, electric and has you hoping for a HEA even when their social status is a big bump in the road.
The other residents of Jupiter Point play important roles in this book as well. You catch up to what is going on with everyone especially, ninety year old Old Man Turner. Brianna's friendship with him gives her some much need solace when things go haywire around her, until he goes missing and a strange man is in garden shed.
In this book, you are introduced the Rollington Wareham the Third's family and his NYC life. It is a life that he doesn't want but can not deny his responsibility to them, the family company and his past mistakes. His younger sister, Sydney stirs up trouble as she also pushes back against the family. Brianna sees that the fourteen year old girl is troubled and befriends her during her unauthorized visit to Jupiter Point.
This story tugs on you on your heartstrings with many of the characters so be prepared. I consider this book a must read!
Another fantastic addition to this series
What a fabulous read. Into the Flames is the story of two friends trying to help each other get with their crushes. Brianna has a crush on Finn and Rollo has a crush on Merry. Grab your copy and get ready to be sucked into this fantastic book. I really enjoyed getting to learn more about Rollo and Bri. This is one of my favorite series and I can’t wait to read Finn and Lisa’s story next.
