My new neighbor is a firefighter--and a scorching hot single dad--but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose.

(And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.)

Nothing happened, of course--because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year.

Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster. Even former SEALs with broad chests and strong hands that make my skin sizzle. Even gorgeous, grumpy guys who have their hands full raising two adorable little girls and claim they don’t believe in love.

Until Dex kisses me one night, and I drop all my defenses.

(Also my underwear.)

He says he’s not gentle, and he’s right. He says I should take the dream job I’m offered in another state, and he’s right. He says he’s too old for me and could never be the man I deserve.

He’s wrong.

Dex and I might be twelve years apart, but the fire between us is the kind that will never burn out.

How can I convince him to give happily-ever-after with me a chance?

Melanie Harlow labeled Ignite on Amazon as Ignite: A Grumpy Single Dad Romance and man is this SPOT ON!

Harlow has become a go-to author for me; her characters a flawed, complex, and relatable. Her stories are filled with banter, deep connections and really allows the reader to escape into the world crafted.

Dex is a thirty-something single dad trying to figure it out… when he and his two young daughters move next door to Winnie well…. the fun begins!

I am not usually an age gap fan but this one really works. I adored Winne with Dex’s girls, it allowed her personality to shine and the girls really did bring out the best in Dex.

As for being a divorced dad, I ADORED how Harlow provides some insight into WHY  this time is DIFFERENT for Dex!

The epilogue to this one was so perfect!

It was so awesome to return to Harlow’s Cloverleigh Farms World… it really felt like coming home!

I am SO EXCITED for TASTE coming soon!!!
