Cloverleigh Farms Book 6: Ignite by Melanie Harlow

Ignite
Cloverleigh Farms Book 6

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?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

The future generation of Cloverleigh Farms begins! We jump many years later to the kids's stories of the original couples we loved in the previous Cloverleigh Farms books. Now they are adults and it is time for them to get their own happily ever afters. Starting with Winnie. The daughter of Mack and Frannie from the very first Cloverleigh Farms books. Winnie is a bit of a romantic. Okay, a big romantic. She falls in love fast and deep. And always gets her heart broken in the end. But not this time. She won't allow herself to fall. She made a bet with her best friend Ellie that she wouldn't fall in love for the next six months. This is her time. That is until the new neighbor moves in next door...and not just any neighbor. A sexy fireman with two adorable little girls. How can she resist the slightly older single dad who looks at her like she is the most beautiful woman in the world? Turns out, she kind of can't. However, that won't stop her from trying to keep what they have between them casual. For now. Meanwhile, Dex has sworn off happily ever afters. His marriage ended in divorce and though they are pretty civil with one another, he know she is better off alone. His two daughters are more than enough. And he has guarded his heart for so long, no way will he let is reopen. Not even for Winnie. Beautiful, young Winnie or makes him feel like he is back in his 20s and not his 30s. Who adores and treats his daughters so well. But he won't hold her back. Not when she has been offered her dream job in another state. Not when she deserves more than him. But how long will it take for both of their defenses to truly fall? Loved their story! So fun being back in this world with the next generation. So many cameos from favorite characters. And getting to know Winnie as a young woman after seeing her as a kid was so great! Plus her and Dex's chemistry was fantastic! You'll love their connection and their love story. Can't wait to read more from this series!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
