Charlotte Parrish couldn't help it, she wanted to find a solid, sensible maybe boring guy but she always wound up a magnet for bad boys. When she is rescued by Mitch after her car breaks down, she thought she had gotten lucky, then Mitch's secret throws her in a spin - how could she be ALL FIRED UP for another "brother"!
Mitch didn't know what to expect when he went searching for the family he had never met. He certainly didn't expect to be welcomed with open arms and is shocked when that is in reality, what happens. Trouble from his past follows and Mitch finds himself surprisingly surrounded by supportive family members and falling in love. He didn't have time for that, but there she was and he wasn't about to fight it, though the timing could be better.
When I first started reading ALL FIRED UP my first reaction was "Oh-oh, bad guy, Charlotte get ready to run!" Then in a neat little twist we find that Mitch is really a good guy that is part of the slightly messed up Crews family. He is in town seeking out his half brothers and just like his brothers, who would do the same, comes to a pretty lady's rescue. He had no idea what to expect when he set out on his quest, guessing the worst would be they would ostracize him, after all he did do some prison time. He was in for a big surprise because he is more than accepted he is embraced by the Crews family ... even their mother quickly accepts him as one of them and pulls him into their world. At the heart of ALL FIRED UP might be the reunion, albeit a shock because no one knew of Mitch's existence, but there is a very, very good romance between Mitch and Charlotte, despite her over protective and nosy adopted brothers.
Love conquers all in a Lori Foster book and ALL FIRED UP is an outstanding look at life and the many facets of love and acceptance. This new offering of the Road to Love series is an amazing read. Readers will be laughing out loud at the many humorous moments between the brothers, between Ros and their father Elliot, but will also give out a few sighs at the other emotional plays that are there for them to enjoy.
The characters are amazingly realistic with all the foibles that all of us have. There are many times as a reader follows along with this story that we can stop and think ... wow, I know someone who would do exactly that. The heart of ALL FIRED UP is centered around family, not just those by blood, but those chose,n and this gives Ms. Foster's readers the warm fuzzies that we read romance for.
I have to admit that I was not really on board with what happened with Ros. But as she told her sons many times - what happens in her private life is none of their business. So, read ALL FIRED UP to see who wins Ros's heart.
Book Summary
He’s tantalizing trouble she can’t resist. . .
Charlotte Parrish has always wanted a certain kind of man: someone responsible, settled, boring. Bad boys need not apply. But when her car leaves her stranded and a mysterious stranger with brooding eyes and a protective streak comes to her rescue, she can’t deny how drawn she is to him. In town searching for family he’s never met, Mitch is everything she never thought she wanted--and suddenly everything she craves.
Finding his half brothers after all these years is more than Mitch Crews has allowed himself to wish for. Finding love never even crossed his mind. . . until he meets Charlotte. She’s sweet, warmhearted, sexier than she knows--and too damn good for an ex-con like him. But when his past comes back to haunt him, putting Charlotte--and the family he’s come to care for--in danger, Mitch isn’t playing by the rules. He’s already surrendered his heart, but now he’ll risk his life.
