Ignite

After reading the previous five books in the Cloverleigh Farms series, I knew I would want to read every book by Melanie Harlow that came out. So when I saw that ‘Ignite’, book six would be published I got so excited. I signed up before I even read the book description. And as soon as possible I started reading.

My new neighbor is a firefighter—and a scorching hot single dad—but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose. (And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.) Nothing happened, of course—because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster. Even former SEALs with broad chests and strong hands that make my skin sizzle. Even gorgeous, grumpy guys who have their hands full raising two adorable little girls and claim they don’t believe in love. Until Dex kisses me one night, and I drop all my defenses. (Also my underwear.) He says he’s not gentle, and he’s right. He says I should take the dream job I’m offered in another state, and he’s right. He says he’s too old for me and could never be the man I deserve. He’s wrong. Dex and I might be twelve years apart, but the fire between us is the kind that will never burn out. How can I convince him to give happily-ever-after with me a chance?

In ‘Ignite’ we meet Winnie MacAllister. Winnie is twenty two and done with men and romance. Winnie has been in one bad relationship after the other. She is a romantic through and through, and falls in love fast. So now she is done. She takes a bet with her best friend, and promises herself she wont be falling in love again soon. So when she sees her new handsome neighbor, Dex. She is determined to watch him, but nothing more.

Dex is a single dad and sharing custody of his two little girls with his ex-wife. As an ex- Navy Seal and current firefighter, he is very protective of the people in his life. And he isn’t looking for anything in his life than peace and quiet. But when he meets his much younger new neighbor, he is shocked to find himself instantly attracted to her.

So.. ‘Ignite’ was so much more than I thought it would be. From the very first page I loved these two characters, and I was absolutely hooked to their story. Luckily for me, I had an unusual day of being by myself so I got the whole day to read. And I read the complete book in a day. It was that good!

The chemistry between Winnie and Dex was definitely flying of the pages. They where so different, but so right for each other. And I loved every moment we got to read between these too. I loved how Winnie broke down all Dex’s walls, without even trying. And I especially loved how Winnie proved Dex that age is just a number.

What I also really loved about this book, was the fact we get to read a bit about the characters of the previous books in this series too. But not in a way you would expect. This book takes place years after the previous once. So this is a new generation in Cloverleigh, and I so hope we get to read more. For example about Winnie’s best friend Ellie. I just need to know her story!

‘Ignite’ was a fabulous and amazing read from start to finish. The characters where just amazing right from the start and I loved everything about this read. Bravo Melanie!
