All Fired Up

by Dylan Newton Narrated by Emma Love, Max Lloyd-Jones

Overview

After one wild night together, two complete opposites plan to stay firmly in the friend zone, but life has other plans in this delightful romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Abby Jimenez.

As a successful book publicist, Imani Lewis works night and day to promote her authors. *It's her dream job, but she's become a total workaholic. So when her grandmother invites her to stay for the summer as she recovers from surgery, Imani happily agrees. But being back in the same small town as her one-night stand may not be quite the relaxing break she envisioned...*

Zander Matthews wakes up every day determined to enjoy the present because he knows from his time in the Marines that tomorrow isn't guaranteed. But he's never gotten over the beautiful woman who blew through town a year ago, then disappeared. And he doesn't want to be hurt again. So they agree to a deal: he'll help Imani fix up her grandmother's house as long as they stay firmly in the friend zone.

Whether it's repairing tiles in his ceramics studio, dodging nosy neighbors, or soothing the most obnoxious parrot ever, Zander never fails to make Imani laugh. And soon their friendly banter is turning ever flirtier. But since Imani's stay is temporary and Zander can't be tied to anything beyond the most tenuous plans, will she be able to handle it when things get all fired up?

Imani Lewis always has a plan. How else could she balance a successful publicist career, plan a baby shower for her best friend, and take care of her wily grandmother? All her plans go up in smoke, however, when a former flame, Zander Matthews, reenters her life, intent on showing her that they'd make the perfect couple. Imani can't stand Zander's laid-back attitude and lack of ambition, but he's not going to let that stop him from turning their one- (okay, two-) night stand into a happily-ever-after. In this follow-up to How Sweet It Is, Newton offers a contemporary romance with a fun and flirtatious tone. Though delightfully comedic at times, the story toes the line between cute and cloying. Narrators Emma Love and Max Lloyd-Jones give a playful, conversational quality to the dual perspectives. Listeners shouldn't let their friendly nature fool them, though; they can still deliver sensuous and steamy love scenes. VERDICT Despite the story being somewhat flimsy, this audio will appeal to listeners seeking a lighthearted opposites-attract rom-com that is both fun and funny. Recommended for fans of Tessa Bailey, Emily Giffin, and Abby Jiminez.—Lauren Hackert
