GRR Reviews Love So Hot (The Lawson Brothers) by Marquita Valentine

Love So Hot is a "firefighter romance" mixed with the age-old question "can a man and woman just be friends"?

Sydney McKnight, a bank teller, has a strange relationship with Brody Lawson, fire captain, in the town of Jessamine. Brody wanted Sydney for years, but they forced themselves to be only best friends if such a thing was possible between a man and a woman. Brody even has a bombshell girlfriend, Cherry. When a rookie firefighter Davis wanted to put the moves on Sydney, Brody shut him down fast, because Sydney deserved better. But when Cherry sensed that Brody was really pining after Sydney, the girls conspire to force Sydney to win the Fireman's annual Auction for Brody's time... Brody thought he will finally get lucky... until Sydney asked for Brody's help to seduce... Davis the rookie. Now Brody had to pull out all his moves to show Sydney that he is all she needs...

Funny, poignant, and sappy at times, this rom-com will make you laugh and go "awww". My only regret is the plot twists are standard romance tropes.
