It\u2019s not the way she wants to spend her last days of summer: in between jobs and avoiding her mother\u2019s snooping by escaping to the ice-cream aisle. But when the opportunity arises for her to accompany her brother\u2019s best friend\u2014her lifetime crush\u2014to a wedding, summer gets a whole lot more interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Firefighter and single dad Jake Bennett has built a nice, safe wall around his heart\u2014no romance, no getting burned. That doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s ruling out a fling. Considering Erin\u2019s visit is temporary, they\u2019re the perfect fit for a scorching no-strings one-night stand. Or two. Or five. Until the worst thing happens: Erin and Jake are feeling more. Damn that four-letter word.<\/p>\n<p>Now their hearts are on the line, and when their smoldering summer comes to a close, it\u2019s going to be harder than ever to put out the fire.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><center><span class=\"ubb-buy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B076H5GLY9\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/amazon.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Amazon\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/burning-up-jennifer-blackwood\/1127375661?ean=9781503901414\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/bn.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Barnes & Noble\"><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781503901414\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/indiebound.png?w=1280\" alt=\"Indiebound\"><\/a><\/span><\/center><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/36561006-burning-up\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/widget_logo.gif?w=1280\" alt=\"Goodreads\"><\/a><br><\/center>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2018-05-09T06:00:56+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\r\\n\\r\\nIn theory, this should've worked for me - childhood crush on her brother's best friend, \\\"fake dating\\\" and forced proximity - but, unfortunately, something just felt missing.\\r\\n\\u201cThat morning,\",\n\t\"publisher\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Organization\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Llama Reads Books\"\t},\n\t\"url\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\\\/blog\\\/index.php\\\/2018\\\/05\\\/08\\\/review-burning-up-jennifer-blackwood\\\/\",\n\t\"itemReviewed\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Book\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"Burning Up\",\n\t\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\t\"name\": \"Jennifer Blackwood\",\n\t\t\t\"sameAs\": \"\"\t\t},\n\t\t\"isbn\": \"\"\t},\n\t\"author\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\"name\": \"ReadingLlama\",\n\t\t\"sameAs\": \"https:\\\/\\\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\\\/blog\\\/\"\t},\n\t\"reviewRating\": {\n\t\t\"@type\": \"Rating\",\n\t\t\"ratingValue\": false,\n\t\t\"bestRating\": \"5\"\n\t}\n}\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t<hr \/>\n<p>In theory, this should&#8217;ve worked for me &#8211; childhood crush on her brother&#8217;s best friend, &#8220;fake dating&#8221; and forced proximity &#8211; but, unfortunately, something just felt missing.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThat morning, I\u2019d just been accepted into an elite training for a hotshot crew.

She realized that this was prob- ably the day that Jake had turned from a bad boy into a good man. And she felt slightly guilty because the rst thing she\u2019d wish for\u2014if she did believe in wishes\u2014would not be something so altruistic. Maybe she\u2019d save that for the third or fourth penny.<br \/>\n\u201cI never looked back. She\u2019s always come first.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Erin took off for college in California without telling her family &#8211; and now, after a Master&#8217;s degree and several years as a middle school science teacher, she&#8217;s back for the summer, jobless and already ready to leave again. \u00a0Jake is a fighter fighter, and one of Erin&#8217;s brother&#8217;s best friends. \u00a0He&#8217;s a single dad to Bailey, who&#8217;s twelve, and has pretty much built his world around being everything for her, since her mother abandoned them both when Bailey was a few days old. \u00a0When they have a funny meet cute at a bagel shop, sparks fly, and Jake impulsively asks her to be his plus-one to his sister&#8217;s wedding. \u00a0Both agree nothing can happen between them, though &#8211; Erin&#8217;s got one foot out the door to go back to California, and Jake doesn&#8217;t want to break Bailey&#8217;s (or his) heart with someone who won&#8217;t stay &#8211; or can it?<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s very little angst or drama in this book, and there&#8217;s some pretty funny moments (the bagel incident, for one, or raccoons infesting Erin&#8217;s hotel room so that she has to room with Jake), but it also felt like a deeper connection between Erin and Jake was missing. \u00a0He continually ran so hot and cold on having a relationship with her that by the end of the book I was half rooting for her to dump his butt and head back to California. \u00a0I especially didn&#8217;t like that part of Jake&#8217;s resistance to dating Erin was that he somehow thought he needed her brother&#8217;s permission. \u00a0After the whole book of them going back and forth about whether they should be dating at all, I found the ending abrupt, and I wasn&#8217;t completely sold on Erin&#8217;s reasoning, or that she wasn&#8217;t staying simply because of Jake.<\/p>\n<p>Part of this was because I felt like there was a lot of things with Erin&#8217;s family left up in the air. \u00a0Her family relationships were contentious, to say the least. \u00a0She doesn&#8217;t get along with her firefighter older brother who&#8217;s been in a grouchy mood since his longterm girlfriend dumped him. \u00a0She doesn&#8217;t get along with her younger sister, who mysteriously dropped out of college. \u00a0She doesn&#8217;t get along with her mom &#8211; and this part, at least, I understood, since her mom was completely overbearing. \u00a0I did find it hilarious that though her mom is famous for her gourmet PB&amp;J food truck in downtown Portland, Erin prefers Jif to her homemade peanut butter. \u00a0It&#8217;s Erin&#8217;s entire response to life in a nutshell &#8211; go for the expected easy thing rather than deal with her family or anything hard. \u00a0At the end of the book, while Erin had taken steps to repair those relationships, I wasn&#8217;t left feeling confident that she&#8217;d be able to manage that. \u00a0I understand this is the start of a series, so I&#8217;m guessing the next books will be about her siblings, but I wish we&#8217;d had more resolution on Erin&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, while I think my review reads as mostly negative, it was still an enjoyable story, though I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;ll pick up the next book in the series. \u00a0If you like romances with a childhood crush or single dads, I&#8217;d still recommend this book to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In theory, this should&#8217;ve worked for me &#8211; childhood crush on her brother&#8217;s best friend, &#8220;fake dating&#8221; and forced proximity &#8211; but, unfortunately, something just felt missing. \u201cThat morning, I\u2019d just been accepted into an elite training for a hotshot crew.
