This is a new book in the Holiday Romance series, which now contains thirteen books, by Kiva Hart. It opens when Beth, a professional guitarist and singer who has been on the road for the last five years, is making cupcakes for her niece. She forgets to get them out of the oven, and her fire alarm goes off. While she is emptying the burnt cupcakes into the sink, she hears a knock at the door. It is the one and only local fireman, Leo, checking to see that there isn't a major fire. He proceeds to give her a lecture about kitchen fires and paying more attention to what you have in the oven. This really ticks Beth off. So the two are off to a rocky start.
Leo helped put out a fire in the next town over years ago. The only survivor of the family was a toddler named Danni. He adopted her and has been raising her ever since. She is ten, the same age as Beth's niece, Matty. The two girls are school friends. At the last concert of the school year, Beth sings and plays a song, inspiring Danni to take lessons. Beth, with nothing to do until the next tour, which could be a while, agrees to teach her. As the two get closer, Leo backs off because he is scared of her going on the road, leaving him and Danni behind.
Leo is so serious and Beth is so flighty. Can the two make a match of it before Father's Day? This is not a bad novella that can be read in a few hours. It's a nice way to spend your lazy summer afternoon on something that is a very light and easy read. On top of that, it gets you in the mood for the holiday approaching on Sunday.
