REKINDLING HER HEART by Virginia Marlow
Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Novella
5*****
Blurb: Single mother, Mara Miller works two jobs to provide for her teenage daughter, Angelica Disillusioned and abandoned at eighteen, Mara’s given up on finding a man interested in more than a one-night stand. Until firefighter Bruce Moretti moves in down the hall. When Mara’s very ex-boyfriend appears demanding custody, she discovers Angie has been left a fortune. Money her ex plans to take any way he can. Bruce Moretti has his own demons to chase, and getting romantically involved with Mara isn’t on the agenda. But when Angie is in danger, he rushes in and finds his feelings for Mara are an inferno he never wants to end.
THOUGHTS: I really enjoyed this story, especially Bruce. Not only is he the stereotypical hero (fire/rescue man, tall, handsome, etc.), but he takes rebellious teen Angelica under his wing an helps her without being awful about it. Mara is just trying to do what she needs to do to keep her and her daughter safe from her ex. My favorite part, I think, was when Mara shows up at the school dressed like Angie, proving her point that not everyone dresses like that. There’s some heat with this book, but it works with the story.
Recommended.
