Second Chance Summer (Cedar Ridge #1) by Jill Shalvis

Cedar Ridge, Colorado, is famous for crisp mountain air, clear blue skies, and pine-scented breezes. And it's the last place Lily Danville wants to be. But she needs a job, and there's an opening at the hottest resort in her hometown. What has her concerned is the other hot property in Cedar Ridge: Aidan Kincaid-firefighter, rescue worker, and heartbreaker. She never could resist that devastating smile . . .
The Kincaid brothers are as rough and rugged as the Rocky Mountains they call home. Aidan has always done things his own way, by his own rules. And never has he regretted anything more than letting Lily walk out of his life ten years ago. If anyone has ever been in need of rescuing, she has. What she needs more than anything are long hikes, slow dances, and sizzling kisses. But that can only happen if he can get her to give Cedar Ridge-and this bad boy-a second chance . . .

 Review: I was given a copy of Second Chance Summer from NetGalley for an honest review and this is the review.
This book had me hooked from the start. I mean who could not fall in love with a book with a sexy fireman rescuing a half naked crazy lady off the ledge of a building that is upset because the new crews are not there yet this time when the last time she pulled the same stunt she was front page new because she was only covered in sticky notes? With humor like that if it is kept up throughout the entire book it is going to be a hit and Shalvis kept the humor going so well I found myself laughing out loud in a number of places in this book. The humor is just the first thing that made me fall in love with this book.
Another thing that was written so well was the romance between Lilly and Aidan. As a reader you could fell them fall for each other again and also feel for them over the pain they both went through in the past. I also must say they were HOT together. Good thing Aidan was a fireman was they really needed something to put the fire out they were causing in that book between each other.
The dynamic between the Kincaid was also interesting and heartwarming. I loved how the family argued like normal siblings but always had each other's backs and their mother was a total trip. I think she cracked me up every time she appeared in the book. I can't wait for the next book in the series to see what happens next. I fell in love with this family.
I am wholeheartedly giving this book five out of five stars because it was the total package: family, humor, steamy romance and great characters.
