A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Shnoogiepoo
The opening scene of Bella Andre's Can't Help Falling in Love - the third installment in her Sullivan's series - drags you gasping for breath into a fiery inferno and it only heats up from there. Megan Harris lost her Navy Fighter-pilot husband five years ago, and since then she's vowed to steer clear of anything - and anyone - dangerous while she raises her daughter, alone. When an apartment fire threatens everything she holds dear, she may just have to reevaluate what really matters in her life. Gabe Sullivan has been a firefighter for the past ten years. He's the best at what he does. He may have a dangerous job, but he's not a risk taker. Everything he does has a backup plan. That is until he breaks all the rules to rescue Megan and her daughter from a burning building. Gabe manages to get Megan and Summer to safety, but is injured in the fire. Megan and Gabe's attraction is intense from beginning to end. But Megan wants safe and boring. She needs to know her future-husband, and Summer's step-dad, will come home to them every night, unlike her first husband did. And Gabe made the mistake of getting involved with a victim once, and he has the emotional scars to prove it. But Megan's no victim and never has been. And while Gabe may run into what others run from, he always plays it smart. With the help of some sneaky, but well-meaning, family members - and enough smoking-hot sex to set off a five-alarm blaze - Megan and Gabe might just find everything they've been looking for. Because sometimes you just Can't Help Falling In Love.
