Welcome to my review stop
on the Tasty Virtual Book Tour for THE NIGHT BELONGS TO FIREMAN by Jennifer
Bernard. If you haven’t experienced the Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel, what
are you waiting for? These are exceptional firemen who provide the most fun in romance,
from their heroic deeds to their sexy hot personalities. I hope you will stick around

Blurb for THE NIGHT BELONGS TO FIREMAN:
Daring . . . Sexy . . .
Irresistible . . .
They're the Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel
When fireman Fred Breen rescues a bachelorette party after a construction crane collapses onto their limo, the media labels him the "Bachelor Hero." But all Fred can think about is the petite brunette with the sexy mane of dark curls who bolted away from him faster than a wildfire after he carried her to safety. And when he discovers she's none other than Rachel Kessler, the daughter of a tech billionaire, the girl whose kidnapping riveted the nation, he intends to learn every intimate detail about this intriguing woman who sets his pulse on fire.
Rachel can't deny the lean-muscled firefighter is smokin' hot. But after having one too many drinks at the bar where she first meets him, Rachel knows she's made a fool of herself. Yet when he rescues her from the limo, she feels safe for the first time since she was held for ransom as a child. Then her overprotective father insists Fred be her bodyguard—and his close presence kindles a burning desire that only he can extinguish.

Fred Breen, aka Stud by his fellow firefighters, knows
he’s got what it takes to be the best at his job but after coming in second in
the Southern California Muay Thai Championships, he’s once more reminded nice guys never win. He’s tired of being
Mr. Nice Guy but doesn’t know how to be anything but who he is. He’s allowed
his ex-girlfriend to walk all over him for far too long, and even though he’s
told her it’s over more than a few times, she doesn’t seem to get the message.
Now, as he sits in the City Lights Grill with his buddy, Mulligan nursing his
second place win, he’s being reminded yet again by an intoxicated petite
brunette wearing a wedding veil that he’s a pushover.
Rachel Kessler is tired
of not living her life. Cutting loose with her best friends while celebrating
the upcoming nuptials of one, she pushes the limits all the while knowing it’s
the champagne talking more so than her inner child wanting to finally break
free of the cage she was once held in by a kidnapper. Teasing the good-looking
guy with the cheap trophy for second place is easy but when he tries to tell
her how to behave, she rebels. She’s tired of everyone telling her how to live
her life or rather not live it, and stay safe. When she finds herself trapped
inside the limo with her friends after a crane falls on it, it’s the sexy
firefighter she teased, and smacked in the nose, who is the one to come to her
rescue. Even as she feels everything closing in on her, he keeps her grounded
but when she’s faced with the inside of an ambulance, her claustrophobia gets
the better of her and she fights to break loose, and runs - just as she did when she was a child.
When her wealthy and
over-protective father hires Fred the Fireman to be her 24/7 bodyguard, she balks
at the idea and then decides spending so much one on one time with the sexy,
handsome, and nice guy, Fred, isn’t such a bad thing after all. She just
doesn’t expect her feelings, and her fears, to become so entangled with her
heart when she falls for the sexy Bachelor Hero of San Gabriel.
THE NIGHT BELONGS TO
FIREMAN, book six of the Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel series by Jennifer
Bernard is a delightful addition to the series even if it isn’t my absolute
favorite. Fred is sexy, protective, and yes, a nice guy although he seems to
have some anger management issues at times. It also took me a while to cotton
up to him since he seemed overly quick to judge Rachel, but I soon realized it
was part of his nature and he was just as quick to apologize – a man who can
admit being wrong and genuinely apologize is very sexy in my book. Rachel is
broken, still traumatized by events in her childhood yet she wants more, and
that makes her strong. She grows stronger and increasingly sure of herself with
every moment she spends with Fred until she knows she’s ready to stand on her
own. I like Rachel very much and respect her affection for those around her,
including her over-protective and controlling father. Marsden is a favorite.
Overall, THE NIGHT
BELONGS TO FIREMAN may not be my favorite in the series, but it’s definitely a fun
read, filled with emotion, angst, a mystery, and of course, lots of firefighter
hijinks, and action. Jennifer always does an excellent portrayal of
firefighters at their best, and this one is no exception.
I highly recommend THE NIGHT BELONGS TO FIREMAN by Jennifer Bernard whether you’ve read the Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel series or not. If you haven’t, you should and preferably start from the beginning and enjoy all of the deliciously heroic members of the team, but if you’d like to dip your toe into this wonderful series, by all means, start with THE NIGHT BELONGS TO FIREMAN.
