After losing her navy pilot husband, Megan decided to never fall in love with a guy working dangerous jobs.  Then comes Gabe the firefighter. He vowed never to have a relationship with one of his victims. Through smoke and flames Megan catches his attention when he rescues her and her daughter. Will they both be able to keep the promises they made to themselves or will fire ignite between them?


Gabe is a strong and independent guy.  Megan's daughter Summer and Gabe become friends immediately. It's kind of cute the way she looks up to him. Summer seems to know what's going on with Gabe and her mother. She even tries to hook them up together by asking her mother to go on a ski trip knowing Gabe would also be there. She's quite the matchmaker. She's mature not like your typical seven year old. As for Megan I really feel for her. I understand why she doesn't want to get involved with a risk-taking man after having to raise her daughter alone when her husband died in a plane accident. I love how Gabe is very patient with her and wants to take things slow.


Can't Help Falling in Love is a great romantic story. When things heat up between the two we get some pretty steamy scenes. One minute you might laugh and the next cry. Although it's the third book in a series it can be read as a stand-alone.  Even if it's one of those books you can easily predict the ending it's still an emotional and very realistic read. This is the second book by Bella Andre that I've read and so far I haven't been disappointed.

4 out of 5 stars!
