5.0 out of 5 stars Under Fire-A Joyfully Recommended Title!!!, May 14, 2009

This review is from: Under Fire: The Firefighters of Station Five (Mass Market Paperback)

A firefighter for Station Five's A Shift, Zack Knight lives to save lives. His own life, however, is sadly lacking. Zack's father owes a huge gambling debt to a big time Atlantic City hotel mogul, and the fact that Zack's dad is comatose in a nursing home only means that the mogul is now coming after Zack. As a result, Zack has lost his home, his life savings, even his pride. He is working himself to the bone just trying to stay afloat - but he is sinking fast. While absently pondering his diminished finances and stagnant life, Zack accidentally rear ends Miss Cori Shannon, an exotic dancer. He does his best to help the stunning woman all the while knowing she would never go for a geek with a huge IQ like him. Especially a geek who can't even afford to take her out to dinner.

Though very upset that her car is rear ended, Cori Shannon has more serious problems. She feels the relentless weight of eyes following her, leaving her with the continuous feeling of being watched. After leaving the handsome but somewhat shy man standing in the rain, Cori continues on her way. When her tire blows out and she sharply turns the steering wheel, her SUV crashes though a guard rail only to stop and hang inches above the churning river. Terrified to move, Cori prays for help. Help arrives in the form of firefighter Zack Knight who promises her he will get her out of the SUV alive. At considerable risk to himself, Zack does just that.

In Under Fire, Zack and Cori's relationship begins hot and the flame burns higher each time they are around each other. Cori's quick comebacks at the scene where she and Zack first meet made me smile. While Cori is sassy and independent, she isn't whiney. She knows what she needs to do with her life and her goals of being independent of her brothers and her dead husband's money are noteworthy. Zack made my heart swoon. I absolutely loved every single inch of this man. Though tender and empathetic, Zach is a strong character who has a deep sense of loyalty. More than once he puts himself in danger to keep Cori safe. And to be quite honest, if I say much more, I would have to give away the plot of Under Fire - and since I don't want to spoil the fun, I just can't do it.

Scorching hot kisses, smoldering sex, and explosive passion make Under Fire a must read! Experience the flames of Under Fire! I joyfully recommend it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Hapless hero, May 11, 2009

By

This review is from: Under Fire: The Firefighters of Station Five (Mass Market Paperback)

This is my second book by Jo Davis, and will be my last. I don't think this author knows how to write a hero who doesn't whine and/or get constantly beat up. I was looking forward to this book, Zack being a virginal hero, but that wasn't as satisfying as I expected, since he was completely down on his luck and always getting out of the hospital after nearly drowning, then shot, then beaten. He was on meds and nursing wounds most of the book. I ended up feeling sorry for him most of the time. That's not sexy.

Other people may love this book, but I didn't. I really wanted to, but instead I couldn't wait for it to end so Zack could get some peace.

In UNDER FIRE, Jo Davis takes us back to Station Five and the firefighters of Team A. This time our hero is Zack, the beta member of the group. But don't let his quiet demeanor and intellect fool you. Inside beats the passionate heart of a lover, and when he gets his woman, boy do those flames ignite! When Cori is in jeopardy, Zack's inner alpha male kicks into high gear to protect her, no matter the danger to himself.

Just like in TRIAL BY FIRE, Davis' first book in the series, UNDER FIRE delivers intense sensual encounters and some intriguing sexual scenes that will make you rethink the purpose of some rooms in your own house!
