Playing With Fire by Amy Knupp

Tweet

Amy Knupp is a new author to me. I stumbled on to her when she wrote a book in the Seattle series by Kristen Proby so I thought that I would see what she writes. Playing with Fire is free on Kindle so I thought, why not. I was having a hard time finding a new book last night so I didn't have anything to lose. I finished it in one night. Derek was a firefighter...yes, past tense. He fought the fire that killed his girlfriend and it rocked him to the core. He blamed himself and when his uncle needed him to take over the bar because he just couldn't do it anymore, Derek jumped at the chance to get out of Dallas. Macey has been Derek's best friend since they were five years old. Their mothers are best friends and run a restaurant together. So it made sense for Derek's mother and hers to ask her when she got back from Thailand for the peacecorps, to go out to help Derek out of the hole that he had crawled into. When she gets to the island that Derek now calls home, she couldn't believe how much he had changed. He was cold and distant. Even to her. Full of determination, Macey refuses to let Derek wallow in grief anymore. It's time for Derek to come out of his hole and get back to what he was born to do, firefighting. Just maybe, if Macey gets really lucky, he'll see what's been right in front of him for years. In your opinion, is it harder to help someone that your in love with or someone that's just a friend? *picture from google
