Fireproof

The Busy Bean

By: Delancey Stewart

Narrated by: Desiree Ketchum, Aaron Shedlock

The newest barista at the Busy Bean is about to steam the place up....

Former Marine Mason Rye can make a cappuccino with military precision, but he finds it much harder to serve up a smile. It's not that he doesn't like people. But he knows from experience that once you let someone in, it hurts like hell when you lose them. And Mason's lost too many people already.

So it's pretty damn inconvenient when his old Marine buddy shows up on Mason's goat farm with his younger sister in tow. Heather's work in Washington, DC, has turned dangerous, and she needs a safe place out of town.

Mason doesn't need a new roommate, especially not a pretty, single one who insists on rearranging his spice rack and giving his chickens cute names. Although there's no denying the haunted look in her blue eyes. Every time her fear shows its face, he wants to reach for her.

The problem is that she wants him, too. And when Mason breaks all his rules, they practically burn down his bed together. But her life is in DC. And the threat against her is over.

Unfortunately, neither of their hearts is fireproof....

Contains mature themes.

Slow Burn

If you are into 8.5 hours of a man doing everything as stupidly as you possibly can while having an internal dialogue that makes you want to hit him with a hammer this is the book for you. I was so excited for this book I could hardly stand it and now I’m so angry I probably won’t sleep. I felt badly for both main characters but I was left feeling broken and empty. Figuring it out in the end isn’t enough but if that’s your jam the narration was excellent and it does end well. I probably disconnect because I always feel people who love and rescue animals understand unconditional love.

So, So Good

There have been a few books in this multi-author series that I have regretted buying - THIS BOOK IS GREAT, and made me happy I stuck with the Busy Bean universe. The characters have depth, the story is interesting and makes sense, you get the amazing Vermont farm world Sarina B is so good at writing from Delaney Stewart, and it was just great. A slow burn romance not without it's heartache, but so, so worth the ride. I hope to read Amelia and Kevin's sequel soon! Enjoy!

Favorite in the series!

Don’t need to listen to the others in the series to listen to this one.
So cute! No over the top love scenes, very mild spice, but all the good warm fuzzies of a relatable love story. No fake relationship, or billionaire boss, just some average joes who fall in love.

great read

I loved the story. very well written. I'm looking forward to Kevin's story, should be just as interesting!

Loved this one

This was definitely my fave of the series, I think! Heather and Mason were so good together, and I loved her finding her safe place with him while she pulled him out of his shell. Open door, 🌶️🌶️.

Fireproof - Pretty Good…

…even if the angst was a bit drawn out.

Of course, Aaron Shedlock rocked the narration.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another one that saves the series…

Enjoy!💖

Superb!! ⭐️

Both the story and the performance was superb!! Loved this one! I will definitely be reading the other’s in this series.

The miscommunication trope

Solid story up but I didn’t like the miscommunication trope times 2. I wished for more plot than that, Good narrators.
