Book Review: The Big One by Anne Marsh

Mister Hotshot Book 2

Being a firefighter means I work hard and can go all night. But hey, I've got plenty of fires to put out in my downtime, too. Fortunately I've got just the tool to do it. Size matters, ladies. I've got a big one...and I would have been happy to show you before a sassy, sexy brunette crash-landed in my life.

Lola is quirky; she's talented; she's unbelievably gorgeous; and she's getting over the world's worst breakup. I've got two words for you: off limits.

So even if her smoking-hot body drives me nuts, I'll keep my tool to myself. We're friends - not lovers. I've got her back, even if what I really want to have is her front. Her mouth. Every delicious, curvy inch of her.

And then one hot, dirty night in the bed of my truck, she makes it clear that she's on fire for me. After stoking the flames and achieving a blowup of nuclear proportions, I know I'm in big trouble. Once isn't enough. Now my need for her is a four-alarm blaze...and I'm beginning to think I don't ever want it to burn out.

This full-length standalone from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Anne Marsh contains plenty of swoonworthy hotshot firefighters, including one that's grumpy as a bear and twice as... large. There's also lots of fire, hot s-e-x, tender s-e-x, and every other variation a dirty firefighter hero can think about. Particularly when it involves lakes, truck beds, and the lady of his heart.

My Review:

I’m having a love-hate relationship with this book: I love the hero, but I kind of hate the heroine. I’ve always had a soft spot for the strong, silent type and Hunter fits that description to a ‘T’. Add that he’s a firefighter, risking life and limb for the safety of his community, and I’m a goner. Lola made me want to tear my hair out. I thought she was the most flighty, self-centered, childish character I’ve ever read. I’m still pretty sure Hunter can do a whole lot better. The ending scenes were beautiful, and I loved seeing the pair of them get their acts together. I’m just not sure I saw enough growth out of either one to be fully convinced of their happily ever after. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Hidden Gems.
