There's so much to love about Fire Me Up. Kincaid crafted some pretty darn fabulous characters. Adrian is one of those bad boys that is so charming he could charm your panties off in a heart beat. He's a memorable hero in my book. Adrian's passion for his profession and food is almost equal to his attraction to Teagan. There's a part of the novel where Adrian cooks for Teagan that shows just how amazing Adrian is and how brilliantly seductive Kincaid is with her writing of that scene. The descriptions of the cooking process and Teagan's tasting the finished meal is red hot!
The overall plot of Fire Me Up is fast paced and exciting. It was fun to get to know Teagan and Adrian and experience their romance. Having the primary setting be Teagan's fathers bar and grill really made the story work for me. Adding a little unexpected drama via Teagan's dad was a a nice suspenseful surprise. Love it when the ending packs a punch that has you holding your breath.
As a bonus you will also find several recipes included in the novel that Adrian uses during the street fair towards the end of the story. The coleslaw sounds divine. This gal is definitely going to have some pulled pork sliders and coleslaw really soon.

Synopsis (per Goodreads)
If You Can’t Stand The Heat…
Teagan O’Malley can handle a crisis. She’s a paramedic, it’s her job. But she never expected to land in the kitchen of her father’s pub, with no notice, no cash, and no room for error. The kitchen is not her favorite place. Lucky for her, she just scraped a bad-boy chef off the pavement after a motorcycle accident—and something about him says he can turn up the heat in more ways than one.
Adrian Holt has had a rough few years, and he’s not eager to get tangled up in anything more complicated than a good risotto. But with a broken arm and a head full of bad memories, he needs a challenge to keep him sane. Teagan’s dare-me attitude and smoldering mess of a bar are just what the doctor ordered. And the two of them together might cook up some even better medicine…
