Review:

What a cute little story to remind us that sometimes those sparks can fly at the most unexpected of times. Katie Reus gives us a short story of one of the side characters we met in her last Redemption Harbor Security Series and the fiery neighbor that steals his heart.  Kayce Laurent is a NOLA fire inspector, and he has just moved into a new house, surrounded by interesting and mostly friendly neighbors, but the beautiful spitfire that threatened bodily harm if he woke her up at an ungodly hour again with his motorcycle has stolen his attention. Nola Cartier still can’t believe she yelled at her sexy neighbor in the dead of night in her barely-there pjs, but now she is faced with him in the light of day, and he is even more sexy than she imagined.  When he turns on the charm there is no denying, he is attractive, but with a series of misunderstandings the two of them take forever to admit their attraction and finally get their chance at a relationship.  Once that fire is sparked though, the heat and magi of love burns and spreads quickly until these two are inseparable and there is nothing that will come between them.  I loved this short story, with lots of laughter, cute mix-ups, both Kayce and Nola jumping to ridiculous conclusion, and finally both of them just admitting their feelings. In the end it was obviously they were meant to be and that the love between them was never going to be denied.  The neighbors and family members also added some fun spice and laughs, and I enjoyed the book as a fun way to end a hectic week. I am looking forward to more of the series and hope to see Kayce and Nola again. Katie is also one to give us laughter and joy in her stories, even if they can be dark, but this story is full of laughter and happiness so if you are looking for a short read on the lighter side of love, grab it and enjoy.
