Summary
He was my first and I thought he’d be my last。 Now he’s asking for a second chance。
Micah Hutton is charming。 Sweet。 Confident。 And his page in the shirtless fireman calendar for charity？ Trust me， November has never been hotter。 But like Grandma says: it’s never the angels who look like sin。
Micah promised he’d love me forever。 And I believed him， enough to give myself to him the night before my parents dragged me across the country， tearing us apart。 He broke my heart—and his promise—by disappearing the moment I learned I was pregnant。
Seven years later， I’m back in my hometown， staring at my first love， watching his heart break as he meets a little girl who looks just like him。 A little girl he swears he never knew existed。
He thinks I kept our baby a secret， but why would I do that？ I told him as soon as I found out， certain he'd be at my side the very next day。 Devastated when he wasn’t。
Micah says he’s ready to be a father， but am I ready to open my heart and let him back in？ Does he deserve that second chance？

Can I please have a fireman too？ Wow！ Micah and Ivy set my bookmark on fire with their love story。 Abby Brooks has done well to interweave background of abuse in an effective and heartfelt way without losing the essence of the relationship that Micah has with Ivy。 Together， with their firecracker Nell， the characters come to life。

DNF at 31%I struggled a little with the writing style of this book， but as this is a new author to me， I worked through it。Unfortunately what I couldn't work through was how unbelievable the misunderstanding and miscommunication between them was。I get it。 She was going when she got pregnant and she didn't handle it well。But。BUT。All Ivy did was send a few unanswered texts。 Did she make a phone call to the man who was the father of her child？ Nope。 But hey。。。she was young。 Nope。 Sorry。 I'm not goi DNF at 31%I struggled a little with the writing style of this book， but as this is a new author to me， I worked through it。Unfortunately what I couldn't work through was how unbelievable the misunderstanding and miscommunication between them was。I get it。 She was going when she got pregnant and she didn't handle it well。But。BUT。All Ivy did was send a few unanswered texts。 Did she make a phone call to the man who was the father of her child？ Nope。 But hey。。。she was young。 Nope。 Sorry。 I'm not going to be getting past that one。I'm unable to recommend this title。 。。。more

I really don’t like second chance romance tropes AT ALL but this one was done PERFECTLY！！ Micah was a dream hero who never lost his love for Ivy。 We don’t have to read about him screwing his way through woman while the heroine is pinning for him。 This book is so far from that type of bs and is a beautiful book about first loves being broken apart because of family， in this case a horrible father:（ Well done author， now I need to go back and read where it all started until Nathan’s story is told！ I really don’t like second chance romance tropes AT ALL but this one was done PERFECTLY！！ Micah was a dream hero who never lost his love for Ivy。 We don’t have to read about him screwing his way through woman while the heroine is pinning for him。 This book is so far from that type of bs and is a beautiful book about first loves being broken apart because of family， in this case a horrible father:（ Well done author， now I need to go back and read where it all started until Nathan’s story is told！ That one should be good！！ 。。。more

Wow！ Abby's stories get better and better with every release but this one is truly exceptional！ Ivy and Micah's story is an emotional journey。 Nell Bell is a gem and the breath of fresh air needed to offset the angst beautifully。 Wow！ Abby's stories get better and better with every release but this one is truly exceptional！ Ivy and Micah's story is an emotional journey。 Nell Bell is a gem and the breath of fresh air needed to offset the angst beautifully。 。。。more

A must-read If i could give this book 100 stars， i so would。 This book hit me hard。 It hit some where down my soul and even thought my life is not like Ivy ， still something is similar。 And I cried because she was strong。 Strong enough to walk away from a very toxic relationship。 This book was amazing。 It touched real-life lessons， and the love Micha has for Ivy is beautiful。 I love Nell she is a very amazing little girl。 And gosh， I love Grams。 It's definitely a must-read book。 Abby Brooks ， y A must-read If i could give this book 100 stars， i so would。 This book hit me hard。 It hit some where down my soul and even thought my life is not like Ivy ， still something is similar。 And I cried because she was strong。 Strong enough to walk away from a very toxic relationship。 This book was amazing。 It touched real-life lessons， and the love Micha has for Ivy is beautiful。 I love Nell she is a very amazing little girl。 And gosh， I love Grams。 It's definitely a must-read book。 Abby Brooks ， you did it again。 Thank you 。。。more

I rarely rate a book 5 starsNo one does family and raw emotions like Abby Brooks。 Ivy’s experiences with her father， her mother， and her fiancé get you thinking。 Emotional abuse is very much abuse。 And she’s gotten a very raw deal in life， mostly due to her father。 Heartbreaking。 Micah loved her。 Loves her。 Desperately。 But he’s turned hard and bitter when he learns about Nell。 And that she’s six and he never knew about her。 So。 Much。 Distrust。 Both of them。 And， what？ Her father thought he was I rarely rate a book 5 starsNo one does family and raw emotions like Abby Brooks。 Ivy’s experiences with her father， her mother， and her fiancé get you thinking。 Emotional abuse is very much abuse。 And she’s gotten a very raw deal in life， mostly due to her father。 Heartbreaking。 Micah loved her。 Loves her。 Desperately。 But he’s turned hard and bitter when he learns about Nell。 And that she’s six and he never knew about her。 So。 Much。 Distrust。 Both of them。 And， what？ Her father thought he was the puppet master。 This is truly a thought provoking read。 Abby gets it real。 She gets it right。 This one is every bit as good as Beyond Words， one of my all time favorite reads。 。。。more

FireA story with so much heart！ This story contains real life issues， emotional， domestic abuse issues， and drama that people use to manipulate emotions。 Sadly this really happens and it’s hard for some to see a way out。 This story will make you feel like there is a light and that you will make a life for yourself again and there are people who are not interested in running your life， but helping you find yours。 Beautifully written， loved it。❤️

Grab your fire extinguisher because Micah and Ivy’s story is on fire from page one！ Their chemistry is just burning up the pages。 A refreshing love story， not just a romance。 Ivy is a woman who suffers from emotional abuse that I feel we can all relate too， perhaps not on her level， but something we have all experienced from our peers， employers， parents or significant other。Micah is the man we all hope to have in our lives， a man who who will walk through fire for you， love you unconditionally Grab your fire extinguisher because Micah and Ivy’s story is on fire from page one！ Their chemistry is just burning up the pages。 A refreshing love story， not just a romance。 Ivy is a woman who suffers from emotional abuse that I feel we can all relate too， perhaps not on her level， but something we have all experienced from our peers， employers， parents or significant other。Micah is the man we all hope to have in our lives， a man who who will walk through fire for you， love you unconditionally and support you and your choices on your terms and mostly on your timeline。Micah and Ivy’s story draws you in like a moth to flame and you cant help but root for them。We are introduced to new characters， like Grandma who is AWESOME and Nell， who shall remain nonamouse to avoid spoilers， but I must say is my new favorite character。 We are given more nuggets about Nathan and his awful girlfriend and we get a couple of peeks at Nick and Charlie。This story has it all， love， laughter， tears， pain， triumph， spice but most of all FIRE。 。。。more
