Lucas Taylor loves his job as a New York City fireman. He knows the dangers of the job and the risks that are taken every time he enters a burning building. He knows it all too well, having lost his lover of three years to the job. On the first anniversary of Ryan’s death, Lucas’ main goal was to drink until he was numb. Sitting in the bar he and Ryan used to frequent, the last thing Lucas intended to do was pick up a guy and go home with him, but meeting Evan stirred feelings Lucas hadn’t felt in a long time. Lucas found himself wanting Evan more than anything and his one night with Evan made him feel alive again.
Returning to duty a couple of days after his passionate night with Evan, Lucas is surprised to find Evan there and very upset to learn he’s the new paramedic at Station 127. Vowing to never get involved with anyone else on the job, Lucas makes it known to Evan that what they shared was just sex and it would never happen again.
Burnin’ For You is a pleasing story, even though the storyline is predictable for the most part. Although, there are a couple of scenes I didn’t see coming that definitely amped up the drama. The two heroes of the story are very likable and Jamie Lynn Miller does a great job in allowing the reader to feel Lucas’ anguish over losing Ryan and his fear of having to face that type of pain again. Evan’s strong determination to make Lucas see that they belong together also added dramatic fuel to the story. I enjoyed Burnin' For You and I’m certain many other readers will as well.
