Firecracker by Kelly Jamieson Book Summary

Arden Lennox’s charmed life may be in pieces, but she’d sooner get her hoohaw bleached than move back in with her parents. She’s no longer the prom-queen princess married to the football star. She’s a broke, penniless widow, and it’s time she stood on her own two feet.

An under-construction unit in a quaint Chicago brownstone is cheap (free), but it comes with an unexpected surprise. Tyler Ramirez, her brother’s gawky high school best friend, is now a smoking hot firefighter who spends most of his spare time in her unit hammering, drilling, and screwing. Usually with his shirt off—a temptation she has no intention of indulging.

Tyler can’t believe his high school crush is living right across the hall, or how fast his fierce lust for her comes blazing back. She’s still gorgeous—a little sadder, a little quieter, but still with the amazing smile and sweet body that fueled his awkward teenage fantasies.

Despite her best intentions, Arden can’t resist grown up Tyler but the sparks between them send her into full retreat. And by the time she realizes the heat between them could last a lifetime, it could be too late to tell him…

Easy read!. Sometimes stories about a friend being attracted to their friend’s sibling can be the same. This one differs in that Arden is older than Tyler and that her brother, Jaime isn’t the typical “No one can date my sister” brother. Not that he’s thrilled but he’s accepting. Arden has a lot of issues that cloud her feelings while Tyler is very patient and understanding but learns that he has some issues that he needs to work on. I liked the interaction of all of the people that Arden gets to know and who are already in her brother’s and Tyler’s circle. This was an easy read and hope to read more about the adventures of Jaime, Mila, and others.

Enthralling!. Firecracker is a heartwarming, slow-burn romance that is filled with heartache, second chances, a lot of emotion, healing, friendship, passion and love. This was such an excellent story that kept me enthralled from the first chapter. There is definitely more to Arden Lennox than meets the eye and I loved her story. She is such a survivor and so caring but after seeing all her hopes and dreams slowly die over the course of her marriage, she just doesn’t know where to do. Widowed at twenty-eight years old, penniless, emotionally struggling, with feelings of guilt, she has to make a new start. So she heads back home to Chicago, living in an apartment for free that her brother owns, that is under construction. Tyler Ramirez has always had a crush on his best-friends older sister Arden, the hot, beautiful, cheerleader from high school who married the football star. Now she is back and living in an apartment that he is rehabbing. But Tyler is now a smoking, hot, fireman, nothing like he was in high school. From the very first scene of them connecting you could tell he was just a genuinely good guy. so sweet, selfless and sexy. It was wonderful how he was there for Arden. What they shared was scorchingly, passionate and incredible. But with so much on her plate, will Arden push away the best thing she could ever have. Loved this story. The secondary characters of friends and their support and care for one another was amazing and I hope that I get to read more about them. Gifted an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

Cute story!. I just love a good romance that incorporates a set of good friends into the story. I think it brings an extra element of joy to not only see a couple fall in love, but to see that they have a group of friends supporting them. I think it helps draw a reader into their lives like they are one of those friends in the story. Tyler had so much going for him in this book. He's a geek turned hottie, and now a firefighter. He has this strong protective need in him based off a traumatic event in his past. He's has an alpha personality with that gentler side to him. While his overprotectiveness was portrayed as a bit of a flaw in this book, I actually think it was his best feature. Nothing gets me more than a protective male. Arden was the cheerleader in high school, the popular girl that extended into her adult life until things came crashing down around her. It was a bit of a wake up call for her that caused a need to stand on her own two feet. That got in her way a lot in this story, but I still really liked her character. All the characters in this book, from the main characters to all the side characters were fun to read about. I enjoyed this book and I hope we get more with the side characters.

Not a lot of drama just a smokin' hot romance!. Not a lot of drama just a smokin' hot romance! Woohoo!! Panty-melting hero deluxe! That's Tyler, the geeky brother's best friend turned hunky fireman. He is terrific as his childhood crush on Arden becomes reality. Besides being smoking hot Ty can build you a house and cook! One of the things I so enjoyed about this book is the fabulous group of friends, that includes Arden's super smart brother, and the way they just absorbed Arden into the group. There are some quirky, interesting folks in the group and I can't wait for more stories. Back to the romance at hand...it's a slow burn as Arden is overcoming heartbreak and also dealing with Tyler in his new form. He's such a caring and devoted man when it comes to Arden but she wants to stand on her on her own and not depend on anyone else. She has to build a new life and is a little hesitant to jump into a romantic entanglement. Silly woman! Who can resist a sexy fireman that lives across the hall and will do anything for you? This is a sweet and sexy romance with moments of heartfelt emotion and a sizzling chemistry between Arden and Tyler. Great job by this fantastic author in giving us a swoon-worthy hero and a slightly broken heroine with a big heart. Definitely a couple you can root for. I loved it!

Great Read. 4.5 Stars for Firecracker by Kelly Jamieson. This story captivated me from the first chapter and there was no putting down until I had read the final line, I needed to know if Tyler and Arden got the HEA they both deserved, I needed to know more about this couple and I wanted more. Arden Lennox moves across the country to live in her brothers building after her husband committed suicide, she is an emotional reck and is finding it hard to make ends meet so this move seems like the logical thing to do. Tyler Ramirez has been her brothers best friend since childhood and he has secretly crushed on Arden since high school but the timing has never been right could this now be his time.....first he needs to convince her she is allowed to move on and she is allowed to have feelings for another man. Tyler is a very different Tyler to the one Arden knew in high school, no longer a nerdy geek now a hot and hard to resist fireman will she be able keep her feelings under control.... This book has a lot going for it, it has all the feels you want in a great read, it’s emotional, realistic and enjoyable, it has characters who share an intense chemistry as well as deep feelings for each other and it’s well written with a great plot. I loved all the characters in this book so I hope we more stories featuring the secondary characters.

Off to a good start. This is an entertaining story that had me riveted from the first to the last chapter. Arden Lennox is struggling emotionally and financially after her husband commits suicide, her feelings of failure and guilt torment her. In an effort to start a new life, she moves across the country to live in her brother’s building. I enjoy Kelly Jamieson’s style of writing, her characters are strong and yet she shows that they can be human and not the “perfect” hero or heroine and this makes for a realistic and enjoyable read. Tyler Ramirez, her brother’s best friend, has had a crush on Arden since they were in high school and is now her neighbour. Now a firefighter, Tyler has morphed from the geeky guy she new into a hot as sin man, who she has a hard time resisting. Tyler’s feelings for Arden still smoulder and he is determined to bring a sparkle back into her life, if only he can convince Arden. Will the walls that Arden has erected prove too much for Tyler, or will Arden realise too late that in Tyler she could have the life she so desperately wants? I liked Arden and Tyler and the secondary characters were also entertaining. I am looking forward to reading more about this group of friends.

3.5 stars-flirty and fun romance. 3.5 stars--FIRECRACKER by Kelly Jamieson is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, romance story line focusing on Chicago fire fighter Tyler Ramirez, and widow Arden Lennox Hughes. Told from dual third person perspectives (Arden and Tyler) FIRECRACKER follows the building relationship between Chicago fire fighter Tyler Ramirez, and widow Arden Lennox Hughes. Arden Lennox’ husband died one year earlier, and in the aftermath, our heroine had to sell everything in order to survive. Returning to Chicago was never in her plans but as her life continued to spiral out of control Chicago was the perfect stop on her journey to heal, a journey that would bring her face to face with the man with whom she would fall in love. Enter her brother Jamie’s best friend and fire fighter Tyler Ramirez. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Tyler and Arden, and the fall-out as Arden struggles with demons from the past. Arden Lennox has made a decision not to get involved with a man, ever again. Having barely survived her husband’s death and the ensuing aftermath, Arden refuses to accept anything beyond friendship even though her attraction and desire for Tyler continues to grow. Tyler Ramirez has been in love with his best friend’s sister for as long as he can remember, and her return to Chicago means Tyler has a chance at his own happily ever after but Arden continues to struggle with what happened and why, and in doing so, pushes Tyler out of her life. The relationship between Tyler and Arden is a best friend’s sister to lovers romance that falters with Arden’s inability to let go of the past, blaming herself for her husband’s demise. Tyler is willing to accept a ‘friends with benefits’ relationship but his heart wants what it cannot have. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. We are introduced to Arden’s brother: businessman and IT specialist Jamie Lennox, and his friend Mila; Arden’s boss and Shenanigan’s bar owner Liam, and his sister Sorcha; Arden’s bestie Emma; Danny aka Honey Deville; and Tyler’s cousin Norton. Hopefully the author has plans for Danny and Liam, as well as Jamie and Mila; Emma and Norton. FIRECRACKER is a story of family, friendships, acceptance and love. The premise is engaging; the romance is flirty and fun; the characters are colorful and energetic but I struggled with Arden’s immature attitude, and selfish behavior as it pertained to her relationship with Tyler.

4 1/2 Stars for this Firefighter and Princess Romance!. When Tyler was 14 he had a crush on his best friend’s older sister Arden and it lasted for years. Of course, to her, he was just her little brother’s nerdy friend. Arden left for college, married a NFL player and lived a spoiled life of luxury. That is until 10 years later when her husband died and left her homeless and penniless. Her little brother, Jamie was now a millionaire, and his sideline was buying run down properties and fixing them up. Well ... he didn’t fix them himself, he hired his best Tyler to work on them on his days off from firefighting. Jamie offered Arden a free place to live, but it was under construction ... so she moved back home to Chicago rather than in with her parents in Florida. Arden can hardly believe her eyes when Tyler comes to work on her apartment. He’s far from the nerdy kid he was when she last saw him at 16 ... now he’s tall, dark, handsome and built! Tyler thought he was over his crush on Aden, but the minute he sees her, he realizes that he was always going to have a crush on the prom queen. Tyler ... you’d have to be dead not to fall in love with him. He was your typical protective alpha male but what got me was his vulnerability. And Arden ... even though she started out being a spoiled princess, she learned the hard way that you have to be able to look after yourself. As always in Ms Jamieson’s books, the banter between the characters is very realistic and draws you in to the story. A great read that will warm your heart! I received an early copy courtesy of the author through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

Amazing. I love Kelly Jamieson, her stories are always great, filled with fun, drama & very steamy love. This book is no different with the crush that never ended to the loss of not only a husband but a life that wasn’t really real. Tyler & Arden were very sexy & had an amazing chemistry right from the start. Both are feeling like disappointments to the ones they love & Arden isn’t sure she can ever know what love is. Kelly Jamieson brought out the angst of guilt & the fear of failure as she weaved this story of love & forgiveness together. Definitely recommend.
