Blurb: He saw her and just knew…this firecracker was meant to be his.

Claire Paulson guards her heart, having learned from her mom’s abandonment when she was a kid to the more recent lesson courtesy of her roommate people can’t be trusted with it. Even if she won’t admit it, there’s still a part that yearns for her own Happily Ever After.

Maybe there’s something to that whole silver lining thing though…

Ricky Stevenson has always been the more sensitive member of his group, and while he’s happy they’re falling into domestic bliss like dominoes, he’s one of two still standing. It’s not that he doesn’t want or believe in love, he just hasn’t found the woman meant to bring him to his knees, not that he was looking. And then he sees her…

Can’t take my eyes off you…

Warning: Inside you’ll find a sensitive Hero that still brings it in the bedroom, against the wall, and, well, you get the visual, and a heroine that lights up his world. 

May be spoilers:

His Firecracker is the 6th in the Holidays in Jasper series. I do recommend reading in order even though each can be read as a standalone as we do see a few past characters. This has 7 chapters and 2 epilogues and is about Claire and Ricky.

They see each other and they both fall for the other even though they don’t speak. It’s a few weeks before they actually speak, but they were never far from the other’s thoughts, which I thought was sweet.

Wish some help from Sharla and Dash, they meet up and fall even further.

I’m all for a story that makes me smile all the way through. Definitely makes for a great read.

Neither are virgins, but it’s been awhile for the both of them.

I loved it. No real drama. No ow/om drama at all which I loved. Just a short, sweet read. Little steam in parts, but it happened later in the story.

I loved seeing previous characters.

No cheating, no separations.

Epilogue is 10 years, then at 15 years out. They are happily married with 3 boys and a girl. Great writing. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. Thanks for reading. Hope you check it out.
