ASHTON If there s one thing I know, it s how to play the game both on and off the field If it hadn t been for that one teenage slipup where I kissed Beau Campbell, I d be able to keep fooling myself Football is the one thing I use to distract myself from the truth, and when I screw up and lose the game I love, I find myself right back in Fever Falls And right back face to face with Cranky Campbell, who hates me eventhan he did when we were kids Whatever magic he held over me then is still there As much as I fight it, I still want him And I always get what I want well, except with Beau, who constantly calls me on my crap Why do I like that so much BEAU I might ve spent years watching Ash live out my dream without the off field antics and orgies with women, at least but I ve made a good life for myself I m a firefighter, and I coach my brother s football team for those with developmental disabilities But when Ash swings back into town armed with his monster ego and an arsenal of stupid nicknames, everyone is in awe of him Nope, not me I don t care if our kiss years ago was responsible for my sexual awakening I won t fall for Ashton Carmichael Though that resolution would be a whole lot easier if he wasn t so tempting Once he finds his way into my bed, I m screwed inways than one But there sto Ash than meets the eye, buried beneath his ego, sarcasm and how we burn up the sheets together Soon, it sthan a game We don t just get each other fired up, we just might win each other s hearts Too bad things are never that simple Read Fired Up (Fever Falls, #1) – kino-fada.fr I loved both Beau and Ash, but the writing, at times, felt kinda cutesy to me, like it was trying a bit too hard, at least for my own personal tastes.The steamy bits were hot and the angsty parts were pretty manageable.The phrase fired up felt waaaaay too overused and the fireman trope felt slightly under utilized.Overall a good story, but the romantic parts didn t grab me by the heart and squeeze, feelingsurface level than bone deep.I d rate it at around 3.5 stars, but not really cate I loved both Beau and Ash, but the writing, at times, felt kinda cutesy to me, like it was trying a bit too

lovers trope between firefighter Beau and ex NFL star Ash Ash s internalized issues surrounding his sexuality ran deep and most of the angst present in this story focused on his feelings of denial, his struggles with self acceptance, and his fears relating to the acceptance from others In general, Ash was a fairly jovial character, both boisterous in personality and as cocky as could be, but most of that masked his inner turmoil, which he d perfected over the years until he was back in Fever Falls and he was faced with re ignited sparks with his old friend Beau I ve read in many re...This
