Once burned book There is a strong chemistry between Mike and Nick It is something deep and raw The pacing of this story is pretty fast paced There was an emotional ending With good character development. Once burned book I loved this story and can t wait to continue the Firehouse Fourteen series where we learn about Mike s best friend Jay Moore Review Copy of Once Burned provided by the author Lisa B Kamps and Tasty book Tours for an honest review Reviewed by Mollien from Alpha Book Club Lisa B Kamps Michaela Davidson and Nick Lansing were the happiest of couples until a reckless decision changed both their lives and ended any chance they had at forever after Or so they both thought when a fire to Nick s residence brings Michaela back into his life Except she s not ready to forgive nor forget how much Nick hurt her At least not until they re forced to spend time together to work on a drunk driving campaign to educate high school students. Once burned by jeaniene frost What a riveting fast paced highly emotional read Ms Kamps has penned encompassing the second chance romance trope a heroine burying herself in work and using alcohol as an escape to deal with her past and a hero that is willing do anything to obtain the heroine s forgiveness even if that means exposing his deepest regret to his students I really liked how it started with Michaela s fellow firefighters being worried about her and then quickly figuring out her recent bad mood stems from Nick coming back into her life. Once Burned epubs air As for the dialogue it was well written powerful and emotional as both the main characters have to come to terms with the past Can they overcome what happened between them Can Michaela forgive Nick It seems she s the one making all the mistakes this time around while Nick is trying to turn his life around which is proven by the emotions and reactions from the heroine s side No wonder her friend and partner in the fire department is worried about her I really liked both characters although Michaela did annoy me at the beginning Her way of dealing with her past by drowning her sorrows made me feel sorry for her However she s strong brave hard working and I could fathom her anger towards Nick Yet despite what the hero did I thought she was being unreasonable by avoiding discussing their past Especially when it was dragging her down and with every encounter between them However in saying that I m glad her firefighter partner Jay forced her to face the truth before it was too late Because that moment did a lot towards healing her bitterness While Nick he s done so much to change his life around No longer does he act without thinking like he did in the past Hurting Michaela really gave him the kick in the teeth that he needed to make something of his life He s gone from the stereotypical bad guy doing everything wrong and getting into trouble yet now he s a wonderful teacher Determined to teach kids that the choices they make in high school can impact the rest of their lives if they re not careful Honestly I felt sorry for the hero Because seeing how much Michaela is still hurting after so many years affects him just as much as it does her which is proven through the dialogue and his narrative How can he forgive himself for the past if Michaela hasn t forgiven him Hot sex scenes spice up the pages and although it felt like Michaela was using the hero the first time they jumped into bed together the moments illustrated how much this pair still loved each other despite the pain that caused their past relationship to fall apart I liked how Nick continued to prove himself to her despite the fact that she continued to push him away And the way he forces her to face hard truths did wonders towards healing her which was what she needed to be happy Overall I really liked this story and I can t wait to read future books to come for this series Especially because I want to learn about Jay Michaela s partner in the fire department since he was such an enjoyable secondary character The way this story ended had me cheering for this couple Nick revealed something major that Michaela never expected which makes her realize that she can forgive but never forget and paves for a second chance at love I would highly recommend Once Burned by Lisa B Kamps if you love second chance romances or stories about love loss healing and forgiveness Lisa B Kamps Read the full review on Bookaholics Not So Anonymous. Suspense Once burned skin This was a story filled with a lot of strong emotions as it should because I honestly would have felt the same way Mike Kaley did upon seeing Nick again While it s clear that he s riddled with guilt over abandoning her and I understand his reasons behind it what I don t get is why he never made any move to make amends within those ten years In this day and age it would have been easy enough for him to locate her if he really wanted to What he chose to do was to go live his own life without ever looking back even if he did claim to have never forgotten her I think it s this decade long inaction with regards to the one girl that he loved that made me hesitate going all in emotionally I mean good for him for cleaning up his act and getting help but I thought that part of the process of rehab is owning up to past mistakes with the people they ve hurt the most Yes Nick did that but only because he was already confronted with his past. Once burned book While I was a bit iffy when it came to Nick and Kaley getting back together I did like how the topic of alcoholism was tackled in this book It played an important part in Nick and Kaley s story and that scene involving the high school seniors who were supposed to listen to a presentation about the hazards of drunk driving was a heartrending and poignant one I was waiting though for Kaley s own penchant for drinking to be given a stronger resolution especially since she was playing it off as nothing than a leisurely thing for her to do Even with what I considered a couple of hiccups in the book this was an overall good read and the kind of series starter that leaves me curious about what else may be in store as the series continues I m thinking Jay Moore Kaley s partner and best friend may be up next but whether it does turn out to be Jay s story or not I ll be looking forward to reading it Four stars for Once Burned Lisa B Kamps .
