Synopsis:

Charlotte Parrish has always wanted a certain kind of man: someone responsible, settled, boring. Bad boys need not apply. But when her car leaves her stranded and a mysterious stranger with brooding eyes and a protective streak comes to her rescue, she can’t deny how drawn she is to him. In town searching for family he’s never met, Mitch is everything she never thought she wanted—and suddenly everything she craves.

Finding his half brothers after all these years is more than Mitch Crews has allowed himself to wish for. Finding love never even crossed his mind…until he meets Charlotte. She’s sweet, warmhearted, sexier than she knows—and too damn good for an ex-con like him. But when his past comes back to haunt him, putting Charlotte—and the family he’s come to care for—in danger, Mitch isn’t playing by the rules. He’s already surrendered his heart, but now he’ll risk his life.

 

 

 

Lori Foster brings all of her best writing traits to the table in All Fired Up; a bad boy hero who is really a great man, a feisty heroine who proves she is so much stronger than most give her credit for, a tantalizing plot filled with family secrets, love, and a bit of suspense to keep everyone on their toes.

Charlotte Parrish wants nothing more than to find a man who will treat her right and be by her side through good times and bad someone like her pseudo brothers who she works for in the family business. When Mitch Crews steps in to help her with a problem, she is instantly intrigued and then finding out he is the half brother of her bosses, she knows she definitely doesn’t have any brotherly feelings towards him. But, Mitch has a past that’s not so pretty and he feels that Charlotte deserves more than an ex-con in her life. Her acceptance of him throws him for a loop and soon he begins to see that she is a very special woman indeed.

I loved everything about this book and yes the romance was huge; it played out perfectly for this couple, but this was about so much more than just them. This book was about family, acceptance, and people being kind, decent human beings. Mitch is thrown into confession almost at the start of this book that he is the product of an affair that Brodie and Jack’s dad had with his mom, but what he didn’t expect was the outright acceptance into their lives and into their mother’s life. Roz, I can’t say enough about momma Roz, because she is an amazing woman who raised amazing men and took in Charlotte when her mother passed away, but when she fully and completely accepted Mitch as part of the family I wanted to weep.

While yes Mitch is an ex-con the circumstances in what happened were not wholly his own fault and it was easy to see that he was a good man. Unfortunately the man his mother had been involved with and the man that got him sent to prison was not a good guy and wants nothing more than to get to Mitch for a bit of payback.

There are a few surprises in this book that intrigued me and I have to say I loved the way this family rolled with the various things thrown at them throughout this story, it just goes to prove that together they can work through anything.

From start to finish I was thoroughly engaged and immersed in All Fired Up making it impossible to put down and one I know I will enjoy again and again.
