Skye Copeland is on paid leave from her broadcasting job after accidentally drawing a pecker on the traffic map.
Let that sink in. Like it’s her fault the traffic pattern that day created a perfect schlong?
Skye isn’t laughing. She needs this job. And that’s the only reason she’s agreed to chase down a story in her least favorite place—that hell on earth known as Vermont.
A quick trip. In and out. Much like - never mind. Skye can sneak into the town that once tried to break her, get the story and get back into the good graces of her producer. Easy peasy.
Except things go sideways even as she sets foot over the county line. Her step-sister is on the run from a violent drug dealer. And the cop on the case is none other than Benito Rossi, the man who broke her teenage heart.
His dark brown eyes still tear her apart. And even as she steels herself to finally tell him off after twelve years, the old fireworks are still there.
Things are about to go boom.
This week’s book boyfriend is Benito Rossi from Fireworks by Sarina Bowen. Benito is brother to Zara and Alec Rossi and he’s the one that has been holding a torch for the girl that got away. He served time in the military before returning home to become a detective. There hasn’t been a special someone for him because his person disappeared from his life on the night of his senior prom.
I knew that I would love Benito after meeting him in his siblings books. I knew that he was going to win me over in such a big way and Sarina Bowen delivered the goods because I wasn’t wrong. I adored Ben in his book so, so much.
When Ben sees Skye again for the first time since the night she disappeared from town, I was excited because he knew that he wasn’t going to let her run away again. They were due for some talking and he was going to make sure that it happened. He didn’t care that she had the worst possible timing or that she might be involved in an investigation he was heading up. This was Skye. His Skye and he wasn’t going to fail again.
Every single one of these quotes from Ben’s book had me swooning with delight because goodness, he was the bomb and I loved the way that he loved and cared about Skye. How he always cared about her.
“When Skye had come into my life, I’d wanted her from the first second. But we can’t always get what we want. I realized right away that Skye hadn’t needed a horny teenage boy trying to get under her skirt. She’d needed a friend and a protector. It had been easy to be her friend, and harder to keep her safe. Ultimately I’d failed at both, and that’s how I lost her. I can’t fail again.
But, Jesus Christ, the love of my life has the worst possible timing.”
“I will keep you safe and out of trouble if I can.”
I blink. It’s hard to focus on what he’s saying when our bodies are touching. He looks bigger and older but just the same, too. Except for that beard that briefly tickled my jaw. “What kind of trouble?”
“Doesn’t matter.” His voice is thick. “It never did. I’m here for that. I’m here for you.”
“I want the chance to prove you wrong. One chance. One night.”
“One night,” she says slowly. “For…” She doesn’t even finish the sentence. Sixteen-year-old Skye never said the word sex, and couldn’t refer to it without blushing. It appears that twenty-eight-year-old Skye is the same.
“Fireworks,” I whisper, trying not to scare her. “With me.”
If you’re looking for a great, steamy second chance romance, you should give this book a go. Sarina Bowen delivers the goods here and she’ll have you cheering for Benito and Skye to get together again. She’s really good at writing lovable characters with a sweet romance that will have you excited to turn the page. It’s no different with this book. Go forth and read…it’s good, I promise!
