For this review, I chose Burning Up by Jennifer Blackwood.
I received a copy of the ebook for a honest review of this book.
Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Blackwood fans the flames of desire in her smoking-hot series about firefighters and the women who want them…
Unemployed schoolteacher Erin Jenkins is back in Portland, the town she hasn’t called home for more than a decade. It’s not the way she wants to spend her last days of summer: in between jobs and avoiding her mother’s snooping by escaping to the ice-cream aisle. But when the opportunity arises for her to accompany her brother’s best friend—her lifetime crush—to a wedding, summer gets a whole lot more interesting.
Firefighter and single dad Jake Bennett has built a nice, safe wall around his heart—no romance, no getting burned. That doesn’t mean he’s ruling out a fling. Considering Erin’s visit is temporary, they’re the perfect fit for a scorching no-strings one-night stand. Or two. Or five. Until the worst thing happens: Erin and Jake are feeling more. Damn that four-letter word.
Now their hearts are on the line, and when their smoldering summer comes to a close, it’s going to be harder than ever to put out the fire.

This is Book #1 in the Flirting with Fire series. Erin was definitely flirting with Jake at his sister's wedding, but he would not across the bro code. Her brother is his best friend. They had combustible chemistry!
This is my first book by this author and it won't be my last. I can not wait to read Book #2.
☆☆☆☆
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
