Lucas
Taylor loves his job as a New York City fireman. He knows
the dangers of the job and the risks that are taken every
time he enters a burning building. He knows it all too well,
having lost his lover of three years to the job. On the
first anniversary of Ryan’s death, Lucas’ main goal was to
drink until he was numb. Sitting in the bar he and Ryan used
to frequent, the last thing Lucas intended to do was pick up
a guy and go home with him, but meeting Evan stirred
feelings Lucas hadn’t felt in a long time. Lucas found
himself wanting Evan more than anything and his one night
with Evan made him feel alive again.
Returning to duty a couple of days after his passionate
night with Evan, Lucas is surprised to find Evan there and
very upset to learn he’s the new paramedic at Station 127.
Vowing to never get involved with anyone else on the job,
Lucas makes it known to Evan that what they shared was just
sex and it would never happen again.
Burnin’ For You is a pleasing story, even though the
storyline is predictable for the most part. Although, there
are a couple of scenes I didn’t see coming that definitely
amped up the drama. The two heroes of the story are very
likable and Jamie Lynn Miller does a great job in allowing
the reader to feel Lucas’ anguish over losing Ryan and his
fear of having to face that type of pain again. Evan’s
strong determination to make Lucas see that they belong
together also added dramatic fuel to the story. I enjoyed
Burnin' For You and I’m certain many other
readers will as well. |
