Jasmine's Review
4 STARS! ★★★★
"From what I've read in Flirting with the Fireman, I'm supposed to have easy access. How else are we supposed to have sex on top of the firetruck without getting caught with our pants down?"

When I heard that one of the queen of dark authors is writing a romcom, part of me was terrified that her definition of romcom would be something sadistic! But thank lawd I've been proven wrong because this quick novella read turned out to be so hilariously entertaining that I might have choked and laughed at the same time.
A quick rundown of the series: Jane is your normal average girl who lives a standard life, working at a bookstore with minimal pay and lives with her best guy friend, Rich. Just like most of us, Jane loves to read and is a romance junkie and at some point we all wonder, why can't we find that book boyfriend in real life?! And so it begins when Jane placed an ad looking for the right guy that fits the bill.
”I’m refusing the standard in my life and shooting for the standard in the romance book life. I want the standard romance guy.”
The first instalment as per the title is her dating a fireman and lawd knows how steamy those can be! But let's face it, reality is different and I enjoyed that the author depicted a realistic date where things never really worked out all the time as much as you'd like it to. It was filled with awkward-as-hell moments, laugh-out-loud moments and with that, it truly brought out such a light-hearted tone to this read.
Overall, this was such a quick fun read to ease off the angsty dark reads I've just had and can't wait to read more of these installments. I really hope Jane has better luck with the next one and the next next one LOL!
