Love the Series!

I have enjoyed this series. I can't wait for the next one to come out.

Something a bit different

While it's true that the hero isn't like most we read about, that was actually one of the things I liked about this book. He had a sensitivity about him that was a nice change from the usual alpha male leads, but he was still definitely hero material. I love the play between the men (and woman) of the station house. While you can definitely read this book as a stand alone, I recommend the first book in the series, and am looking forward to the next one as well!

Under Fire-A Joyfully Recommended Title!!!

A firefighter for Station Five's A Shift, Zack Knight lives to save lives. His own life, however, is sadly lacking. Zack's father owes a huge gambling debt to a big time Atlantic City hotel mogul, and the fact that Zack's dad is comatose in a nursing home only means that the mogul is now coming after Zack. As a result, Zack has lost his home, his life savings, even his pride. He is working himself to the bone just trying to stay afloat - but he is sinking fast. While absently pondering his diminished finances and stagnant life, Zack accidentally rear ends Miss Cori Shannon, an exotic dancer. He does his best to help the stunning woman all the while knowing she would never go for a geek with a huge IQ like him. Especially a geek who can't even afford to take her out to dinner. Though very upset that her car is rear ended, Cori Shannon has more serious problems. She feels the relentless weight of eyes following her, leaving her with the continuous feeling of being watched. After leaving the handsome but somewhat shy man standing in the rain, Cori continues on her way. When her tire blows out and she sharply turns the steering wheel, her SUV crashes though a guard rail only to stop and hang inches above the churning river. Terrified to move, Cori prays for help. Help arrives in the form of firefighter Zack Knight who promises her he will get her out of the SUV alive. At considerable risk to himself, Zack does just that. In Under Fire, Zack and Cori's relationship begins hot and the flame burns higher each time they are around each other. Cori's quick comebacks at the scene where she and Zack first meet made me smile. While Cori is sassy and independent, she isn't whiney. She knows what she needs to do with her life and her goals of being independent of her brothers and her dead husband's money are noteworthy. Zack made my heart swoon. I absolutely loved every single inch of this man. Though tender and empathetic, Zach is a strong character who has a deep sense of loyalty. More than once he puts himself in danger to keep Cori safe. And to be quite honest, if I say much more, I would have to give away the plot of Under Fire - and since I don't want to spoil the fun, I just can't do it. Scorching hot kisses, smoldering sex, and explosive passion make Under Fire a must read! Experience the flames of Under Fire! I joyfully recommend it! Talia Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Jo Davis delivers another scorcher!

In UNDER FIRE, Jo Davis takes us back to Station Five and the firefighters of Team A. This time our hero is Zack, the beta member of the group. But don't let his quiet demeanor and intellect fool you. Inside beats the passionate heart of a lover, and when he gets his woman, boy do those flames ignite! When Cori is in jeopardy, Zack's inner alpha male kicks into high gear to protect her, no matter the danger to himself. Just like in TRIAL BY FIRE, Davis' first book in the series, UNDER FIRE delivers intense sensual encounters and some intriguing sexual scenes that will make you rethink the purpose of some rooms in your own house!

exhilarating romantic mystery

Firefighter Zack Knight accidentally runs his car into the SUV owned by Corrine Shannon. He is all apologetic; so much so the nursing school student and exotic dancer Cori thinks he is cute and sweet. The second time Zack and Corrine meet, he has not run into her tail. Instead he finds her SUV half teetering over the edge of a bridge. He rescues her and they are attracted to one another. However, they have no chance together as each has impossible encumbrances weighting them down. Even when he moves in with her, he has doubts they can make especially after he learns of how they are linked. The latest Firefighters of Station Five (see TRIAL BY FIRE) is an exhilarating romantic mystery starring an intriguing lead couple who are a 200 proof heat duet even when she thinks he is cute in a virginal way. The story line is filled with action as a nasty villain keeps heroic Zack busy almost as much as Cori does. Zack brings freshness to the role of firefighter lead hunk and champion as Jo Davis provides a strong entry with UNDER FIRE, a terrific action-packed thriller. Harriet Klausner
