Lieutenant Orlando Torres of the Cleveland Fire Department is dedicated to his job and no longer into the social scene. Divorced for several years, his best friends are pushing him to date again. Orlando rejects the idea since his ex-wife's deception left him scarred.

Regan Richards married her high school sweetheart and lived a fairytale life until her fourteen-year marriage hit rock bottom leaving her divorced and on her own. Returning to her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio to visit her sister who is dating a sexy firefighter, she decides she wants the same. She sets her sights on the very handsome, but evasive, Lieutenant of Firehouse 30.

Although they are instantly attracted to each other, he is adamant about not developing anything more than a platonic friendship with her. Will Regan be able to convince him love is worth a second chance if a woman is worth such love, or will the damage done to him by his ex-wife turn him against loving any woman ever again?

From the Inside Flap

Orlando repaired the inner tube placing the wheel on her bike before filling the tire with air. Regan had been quite during the repair and he glanced at her a few times making sure had not fallen asleep under the tree. She was busy going through her phone. He shook his head. She seemed attached to that thing and the fall was an excuse for her to check messages.

Using a hand pump, he filled the tire and checked the air pressure making sure she was good to go. He had to give her credit for going the distance she had. The former wife of a celebrity attorney gave it her best shot proving she was not a prima donna by completing the first nine of the eighteen miles, he intended for them to ride. Dirt covered her body, her hair was a mess tangled with grass and twigs, and the odor seeping from her was not of an expensive perfume.

All that combined, he admired the way she looked sitting under the tree. Her physical activities consisted of going to a gym, but the fact Regan agreed to go biking with him showed true grit.

He finished her bike and grabbed a bottle of water from the saddlebag on his bike. Sitting next to her under the tree, he pulled his knees to his chest and nudged her with his shoulder. "The bike is finished. When you're done resting, we can continue."

"Okay," she replied laying her phone on the grass.

"Why the long face? Did you get some bad news?"

"Nothing I'm not used to." She poured water on her hands rinsing off some of the dirt.

Orlando didn't understand what caused the changed in her attitude. She went from bubbly to flat an unemotional in the fifteen minutes it took to repair the flat tire. "Regan, what's going on?"

She hemmed and hawed, "Oh, just another rejection letter from a job I applied for."

"Sorry, chica. What did you apply for?"

"I applied for a position as an anchorwoman at a public broadcasting network. I can't even get a job at a station that has fifty loyal viewers at best."

"I see. I didn't know you were a television journalist," he said drinking his water.

She sighed. "I'm not. I have a degree in journalism but no experience in television, newspaper print or anything. Let this be a lesson, Orlando; never put your career on hold for another person. My ex-husband is living his dream and I can't even get my foot in the door. Do you think he'd help me?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Second chances at love are twice as sweet!

I’m so glad several months ago I stumbled upon Miss Brown’s book. And I took a chance and read it ever since I’ve read several of her books and I love them all so real and heartfelt as is this story about second chances at love. This is the love journey of Regan and Orlando. Both of these two are coming off of failed relationships. And frankly they are not looking to be another one but as fate would have it family members decided they needed to be in a relationship with someone. And these two were set up to meet. Of course when things are pre-arranged and not organic they can be a little bumpy as was the meeting of these two but eventually they realized what they saw in each other is what they want it together. As I said before I love the way Ms. Brown tells her stories they all seem very real and possible to me and I will definitely continue reading the series can’t wait to get to the next one definitely five stars.

Orlando was masculine, with a heart. He was too easy where the ex was concerned, but Regean came through. Regean had to chase him, but he had been hurt really bad. Orlando was almost a fuddy-duddy, but he knew how to please R. The argument with the ex and R.---I would have told him to settle his drama and get a restraining order. I thought the story was enjoyable and I did skip a lot of the info on his job. He became my hero when he laid it all on the line for her.

The Orlando Torres story is hot.. My first Toye L. Brown novel.. If the cover does not pull you in the story should help, otherwise, check your pulse- You might be dead!!! The story deals with Orlando's quest to return to work after a severe injury on the job. By chance, Orlando meets Keyan Richards at a bar and falls for her. Their relationship falters as both have trust issues.. A really hot story and super sexy love scenes. Enjoyed the story.

3.00 stars. I bought this series of books to help with withdrawal when the season ended for one of my favorite TV shows, Chicago Fire, and because I had not read any books featuring firefighters. Maybe I was expecting too much, because the story of Orlando Forres and Regan Richards was disappointing. They are both trying to prevent re injuring fractured hearts from former marriages, their interaction makes you want to beg them to look elsewhere because they have no chemistry and their on again off again senselessness is annoying.

WOW. This is the second book I read by this author that involved firefighters, which did not disappoint. It was more than just about the hot sex.

It had drama with ex spouses, fires, betrayal, and second chance at love. R & O where two character who background helped make the story not only believable but enjoyable. The supporting cast Londan & Ant deserve there own story.

THUMBS UP.

I thought the story line was awesome. I loved the way the story flowed and thought the characters chemistry was off the chart. My only concern was the overall editing of the book, there were a lot of typing errors. This was my first book by this author but definitely not my last!
