"Too Hot to Handle" by Susan Lyons

Jade Rousseau is a woman in a man's world at work. No matter how hard she works it seems that she is penalized for not also having a family life. So when it comes to pass that she will need a fiancé to be able to move ahead her friends set out to help her. At the local benefit auction Jade is going to bid on yet another boring accountant but her friends interfere and she winds up with Quinn O'Malley, who, as a red-hot firefighter, is the furthest thing from an accountant than you can get.



"Too Hot to Handle" was a fun and very fast-paced erotic offering by Susan Lyons. I loved how Quinn was portrayed to go for what he wanted and to show Jade what she was missing. As usual, you ask for a strong story and get one from Ms. Lyons.





"The Firefighter Wears Prada" by Rachelle Chase

Fashion designer Delta Ballantyne needs a firefighter to model her sexy line of men's underwear. What she doesn't count on is firefighter Evan Marshall and all the fantasies that run through her mind when she sees him. Evan, on the other hand, can't wrap his mind around Delta's designer clothing, as he sees it as a huge waste of money, due to an ex-wife. Will Delta and Evan be able to overcome their own hang ups and set the sheets on fire?



Rachelle Chase has taken an interesting look at not only the fashion industry with "The Firefighter Wears Prada," but also the everyday blue collar worker and their perceptions of the fashion industry. I was intrigued with this story though I did feel like it as a bit rushed. I felt it would have done better as a longer, standalone story.





"Playing With Fire" by Jodi Lynn Copeland

Since Erica's ex-husband, a firefighter, left her, she has vowed to never date a firefighter again. But she is more than willing to make the exception to the rule with her husband's former best buddy Lincoln. While Lincoln is a notorious ladies' man, he has been therefore her at every turn. She has also helped him through a recent injury and will do anything for him to realize what is right in front of him.



While all the stories were good in Men on Fire I have to say that "Playing with Fire" had my heart from the beginning. I loved how Erica learns to decide "is it the man" or "the job" that she loves. And can Lincoln let himself care, or will he forever be stuck in the past? I thoroughly loved "Playing with Fire" and look for more from Ms. Copeland soon.





If you like spicy romances, with red hot firemen, than Men on Fire is an anthology you will need to pick up. While each story is written with a different plotline and writing style, they do pull together nicely to make a solid anthology. Men on Fire is a fast read with sexy firemen who know how to put out more than one fire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot firefighter stories :), November 10, 2009

TWO HOT TO HANDLE by Susan Lyons
Jade Rousseau loves working at the Families First Foundation but the simple fact that she isn't married and has no prospects in the near future could cost her the opportunity to advance to the position as the CEO. It's not that she doesn't want to marry and have children, but the right man hasn't stepped into her life yet. With the aid of her friends Amarjeet and Kimberly she devises a plan. For the sake of her job, she'll find a fake fiance and in the interest of finding a real husband she'll embark on a series of one time luncheon or coffee `dates' with acceptable men. Surely finding Mr. Right won't be that hard. She just didn't expected her friends to bid on the smoldering firefighter she couldn't take her eyes off of at the `It's Raining Men' benefit auction. Could Quinn O'Malley be exactly what she needs despite her aversion to `risk takers?'

Susan Lyons delivers a smoldering hot storyline with plenty of humor and emotion in her story TWO HOT TO HANDLE. Jade and Quinn are passionate about each other as well as their occupations. It's Jade's determination to find someone `safe' that makes it almost blinds her to the possibilities of loving Quinn.


THE FIREFIGHTER WEARS PRADA by Rachelle Chase
Clothing is such an important part of fashion designer Delta Ballantyne's life that she can't imagine anyone not understanding the powerful way it makes a person feel. That is until she meets firefighter Evan Marshall. She believes he'll be the perfect model for her new line of sexy men's underwear, but rather than jumping at the opportunity he insists there's no way he wants anything to do with her or her clothing line. A challenge quickly pits them against each other in a little one-on-one on the basketball court - and leaves them considering a little (or a lot) one-on-one in the bedroom.

Delta and Evan's differences of opinion about fashion may be the focal point of this story but the truth is it's not about clothes at all - it's about their emotional reaction to clothing. Rachelle Chase takes two characters with entirely opposite views on clothing and thrusts them into a sexually charged situation that will leave readers sighing with delight over their new found relationship.


PLAYING WITH FIRE by Jodi Lynn Copeland
Erica Donelson's made it her personal mission to convince Lincoln Gabriel to return to firefighting. He may have been her ex-husband's best buddy but he's long since switched his loyalties over to her - and is determined to see to her welfare and can't very well do that if he's fatally injured in the line of duty. What begins as a simple kiss meant to scare Erica off quickly transforms into a lust neither of them can deny - though he'll sure try to ignore both his desire for Erica and his dedication to firefighting and Ladder 13.

I got a real kick out of reading PLAYING WITH FIRE. Jodi Lynn Copeland incorporates the playfulness between good friends, sexual tension and a love for firefighting in this storyline. The sense of uncertainty the characters feel about their relationship definitely endears Erica and Linc to the reader - especially when the ex-husband comes back into their lives.


Undeniably firefighters are the sort of men women fantasies over. They're dedicated, strong, confident and downright sexy. Jodi Lynn Copeland, Rachelle Chase and Susan Lyons capture these lovable traits beautifully in each of the stories in their new release MEN ON FIRE. The firefighters depicted in these tales work hard and play even harder and they certainly leave no doubt that they're more than adept at handling any situation thrown at them. Each of the women displays strong characteristics that make them perfect for her perspective firefighter and gives the reader hope for their future together. MEN ON FIRE is a wonderfully hot anthology that you won't want to miss - especially if you don't have a firefighter of your very own.

This review is from: Men On Fire (Paperback)

"Too Hot to Handle" by Susan Lyons. Jade Rousseau needs a fiancé to escort her to her company's social events. She may have found her man when she outbids her friends for firefighter Quinn O'Malley at a benefit event.

"The Firefighter Wears Prada" by Rachelle Chase. Fashion designer Delta Ballantyne asks firefighter Evan Marshall to model her line of men's underwear although she would not mind personally modeling him.

"Playing With Fire" by Jodi Lynn Copeland. Firefighter Lincoln Gabriel has helped Erica Donelson ever since her husband, his best friend, dumped her, but now wants more than friendship from her.

Though resolutions are too quick, these are three enjoyable erotic romances starring women who know how to bring the heat from the firefighters in their professional and personal lives.
