What other reviews said:
"Brad is every girl's dream guy."

"I loved Brad. He was everything a man should be and more. His faults were even perfect."

"Not as cliché in my opinion as others. The romance between Scarlett and Brad was more than I expected and that was wonderful. I really felt connected to these characters and loved the story."

"It was a great story of second chances and starting over after great loss. Dunaway has officially been added to my to watch authors."

Get ready, because no mission has ever fazed former Navy SEAL turned marine rescue firefighter Brad Silverman--not even being Mr. July in the Sexy Public Servants Calendar--until now.

Honor-bound to fulfill his best friend's dying wish, Brad must protect Scarlett, the one woman he's always secretly loved.

Scarlett slowly lowers her defenses, drawn to the sexy firefighter despite her reluctance to be hurt again.

As they spend more time together, their high school connection sparks into a passionate flame. Can Brad and Scarlett finally overcome the ghosts of their pasts to take a chance on love? Or will the risks of loss be too great for their wounded hearts?
