Initial Thoughts

When I finished reading Screwed Up, Harloe Rae’s book in The Bayside Heroes series, there was an excerpt from Fired Up at the end. I read it and immediately wished that the book was already available for me to read. Something about Asher Moore grabbed my attention from the beginning of the excerpt, but even more so while reading Screwed Up.

When I was able to begin reading Fired Up, I read it in one sitting. I couldn’t put it down. The more Asher and Meadow I got, the more I wanted. Their relationship has such a great level of humor, raw honesty, and of course, spice. Asher’s compassion for others only makes him more appealing (along with many other things).

Tate is the cutest little boy. His father, Meadow’s first husband, was a police office shot in the line of duty before Tate was born. He reminds me of Tally from There’s Always Someday. From day 1, Asher makes a point to get to know Tate and form a relationship with him. Which obviously, made me love Asher even more. The moments that Asher and Tate share make it impossible to root for this couple, and their forming family.

Final Verdict on Fired Up by K.K. Allen

Fired Up is a must-read. It’s my favorite book from The Bayside Heroes series.

Asher is the hero love interest you dream about at night. I know if Mr. January turned up at my doorstep I wouldn’t turn him away. I couldn’t put this book down. From the moment I read the excerpt at the end of Screwed Up, I fell in love with Asher Moore.

While Asher is the character that pulled me in, Meadow and her son kept me invested in the story. Tate’s immediate bond with Asher was so endearing and gave the book a perfect balance between spice and wholesome. Meadow never comes across as a damsel. She’s a strong, creative woman even though she’s struggling when the book begins. While her relationship with Asher helps bring her out of her shell, she never comes off as timid. Meadow Matthews is the perfect match for Tampa’s most wanted man.

One last thought- I would love to see the Mr. January calendar photo. Anyone else?
