About the Book
Building their future
Charlotte Taylor isn't good at playing it safe. Reeling from the sudden loss of her job and her beloved grandmother, Charlotte knows buying a dilapidated cottage in Gordon Falls isn't exactly practical. Especially since she just hired the one man who may love the property more than she does to help renovate it. Volunteer firefighter and part-time contractor Jesse Sykes can't stay mad at Charlotte for very long. Though she snatched up the home he'd planned on purchasing, Charlotte's dreams are big enough for both of them…if only she'd let him in. Charlotte promised she'd never fall for a first responder, but is it already too late?

My Review
“Saved by the Fireman” by Allie
Pleiter is the fifth book in her 'Gordon Falls' series. Though this
is part of a series this is a perfect stand alone book, for even
though some of the prior series characters come into play it is more
as secondary community characters.
This was an interesting story that is
for sure for I couldn't help but wonder when the attraction was going
to blow up into each of their faces for there seems to be that
instant attraction with more hurdles than can be found at the track.
The hurdles really got in the way and part of the enjoyment, for this
reader anyway, was watching the hurdles being jumped, even when the
character trips over that hurdle.
One character is being chased hard it
seems, even before the story starts, by God for there just little
things that comes out that leaves one to wonder how long has this
character been chased for it seems as if their heart is cracking
easier than most non-believers. To watch how this character sees
things related to their Christian friends and have this wonder about
that relationship that they seem to have with God, not to mention how
they react to all the bad things. To watch how things change around
for this character was so interesting and perfect for this character.
The other character is facing a lot of
changes and seems to be the cause of a few pretty big problems. At
times I couldn't help but laugh at this character while going through
what they are going through for I know it wasn't funny but for some
reason it just struck my funny bone. It was if this character was so
determined to stick to a certain path while things all along the way
kept trying to point this character in a different direction. It was
one of those things that made me think of the phrase “Man plans,
God laughs” for really I could see Him laughing at the plans the
character made.
Overall this story was interesting due
to the chase of one character and the redirecting of the other.
Enough things were happening to keep me interested in continuing read
the book through a rainy and dreary day. I truly loved the chase of
the character for I just thought it hit something within me, for it
was done in such a different way. I guess with all the reading I do
it is so nice when I come across something so completely different as
this way.
Both characters touched my heart for
they were both facing troubles in life and how they handled things
were so completely different. One dove into what they were trying to
do in order to forget it seems (whether they knew it or not) while
the other tried to bury their feelings in humor, but together they
work through so many things. As they worked on their own issues
together and separately, things become tense yet solutions are there
if one is willing to look. Honestly if we think about it, our own
lives have the solutions there if we are willing to look, and this
was just a great reminder that.
I hope all those who read this book,
enjoy this book as much as I did.the
