“I apologize if I was rude,” she said, nose in the air. There is a scene early on in the book where Melissa is relating all her assumptions about firemen and Brody doesn’t rise to the bait: The Fire Station is famous because the all bachelor crew was featured on the Today Show and in People magazine.īrody is a really great hero. The two end up spending a lot of time together when the local media personality, Ella, (one of the villains) decides to do a reality special involving the San Gabriel Fire Station. He’s trying to rebuild his life after a painful divorce but Melissa strikes all the right chords for him. Brody is used to acting as the father figure to many of the younger firemen and conversely they all hold Brody in awe because of his steadfastness and his past history of bravery.īrody isn’t interested in dating right now.
When the bachelor fireman backs out because of a desire not to go out on a date with a grandmother, Captain Harry Brody takes his place. Her grandmother is convinced that Melissa needs a boyfriend and buys a date for Melissa with a fireman at a local bachelor auction. She had an affair with her boss that went south Melissa McGuire ends up in San Gabriel working as a news producer at the local television station after being humiliated in Los Angeles. A late conflict arose in the book and while it could have provided a challenging and very real impediment to the happy ever after (and thus making the connection of the lead couple all the more satisfying) The romance of this story was enjoyable but the sweet and sometimes serious nature of the romance was offset by over the top descriptions of the “villains” of the story creating a cacophonous tone mismatch.
