Publisher Description
This firefighter needs a rescue ...
I might be a rookie Chicago firefighter, but I’m on top of the world. I’ve just earned my spot on Rescue Squad at legendary Engine 6, can get all the action I want both in and out of the bedroom, and am possessed of an enviable sneaker collection. Nothing can harsh my vibe except her—Cassandra Ferguson, my brother’s sister-in-law, or as I affectionately label her: the blister-in-law. Ever since I met her, she’s looked down her perky little nose at me, never mind that I’m a good foot taller. Apparently, I offended her with a few risqué jokes and an offer for a fun, no-strings night—crimes that have relegated me to lower than dirt in St. Cassandra's eyes.
These days we’re at a stalemate. Don’t get along, can’t get along. Only when tragedy strikes, we have no choice but to put our animosity aside for the sake of our hurting niece and nephew, who need us now more than ever. As co-guardians, Cassie and I are enemy combatants in an uneasy truce, flailing around in a no-man’s land of grief and lust, forced to work as a team.
Thing is, when Cassie and I team up—when we really work together—the results are explosive. In a sexy way. In an amazing way. Maybe … in every way. But with stakes this high, we can’t get it wrong.
Even though it feels so, so right.

Best book I’ve read this whole calendar year. I read it in one day. Excellent! Thank you.
Filled with emotions
I knew this book was going to be fill with emotion. But I didn’t know it would hit me as hard as it did. I full on ugly cried like it was my job. And I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way.
This series as a whole has rung me dry in the best way possible. But Sam and Cass burrowed deeper into my heart than a couple has in a good long time. Trying to work together, despite their differences and personal animosity ( especially on Cassandra’s part). Hiding their grief as they navigate Maya and Spence through their own sorrow and towards a new life.
Oh, and shooting off flames and smoke while they do so. The chemistry is outstanding, as is the dialogue. From the snark to the honesty, every interaction was so well written and had layers of things said but also unsaid. I adored it all! And all the wonderful secondary characters that I’ve loved from other books were right there. That’s the icing on the cupcake.
I’ll miss these Chicago Rookies, but I’m excited to see who will be born from the pen of Kate Meader in the future. 5 stars.
Great way to end the series
First let me say, that I am sad that this is the last in the Hot in Chicago series. If you haven’t read the prior books in the series, you can still read this as a standalone. But you should read them, as they are all great reads. This book has it all, a hot firefighter, an annoyed sister in-law, tragedy, laughs, and a lot of steam. Sam Killian and Cassandra Ferguson are in laws (his brother married her sister), and they are always sniping at each other. When a tragedy occurs, they have to get past their differences to take care of their niece and nephew. Make sure to have some tissues handy, as my “allergies” acted up a few times while reading this book. Overall, great read and great way to end the series. I received an ARC of this book from the author for my honest review.
