Simply put, loved it.
Luke and Emma, both jaded from bad relationships find themselves drawn to one another, even though they don't want to be. Their path to happily ever after had some bumps along the way but was a sweet journey and I loved Luke from the start.
I can't wait to continue getting to know the people of Hope in the next installment.

After both their bad relationships, I liked how slow their's was to develop. It was real, chemistry was there and I could understand the reasons why both would want to say the L word and R word.
Luke was so resistant he made me laugh! Emma kind of took being independent a little too far but I could understand why.
There were a few things that were resolved too easily for my book. But It was definitely an enjoyable read!

This was my first Jaci Burton book, so I didn’t really know what to expect. This was an okay book. Nothing memorable, but some things did make me mad.
Emma and Luke were actually good together. They were just the only ones who couldn’t see it. Hell, even their dogs got along. The book spent so much time on Emma and Luke's inner monologue going back and forth about how they didn’t want a relationship. That and a lot of their everyday life. While I liked them both, Emma made me want to shake her a few times. If you’ve read this book, then you know why.
I kept asking myself when we were actually going to get the suspense. Once we got to the suspense plot, it was rushed and some things didn’t really make sense. A few things felt like they were there just for shock value.
I did enjoy the majority of this book, so I think I will continue with book two about Luke’s brother Logan.

A fun start to a new series from Jaci Burton. I’ve been a fan of her Play-by-Play series for a while now because who doesn’t love a hot and sexy athlete. With Hope Flames we head to a small town when vet Emma is just starting a new practice. She feels like she’s a little late to the game because of some past problems and she knows that starting a new relationship right now is not in her best interest. But when local police officer Luke walks in to her clinic with his police dog, she can’t deny the attraction. Luke was burned before and after his divorce he knows that falling in love is just no longer in his cards. He thinks that if he can get Emma out of his system he can move on just fine. But when one night becomes more these two certified singles find themselves moving deeper and deeper in to a lasting relationship. Really fun read, very sexy. I did find it was maybe a little slow on the action but overall a very good read. Can’t wait until the next book in the series!

I love the books that Jaci Burton writes so I was excited to see a new series from her. Fantastic! Emma comes back home to a small town to open up a veterinary practice. Emma had a bad experience in her past that she has worked through and is thrilled to have her own practice. Luke, a policeman, stops in on her first day to hope that she is still open to see if his police dog Boomer is okay. Boomer was hurt chasing a suspect but after looking him over, Emma says he just as a sprain but he needs to rest for a few days. Emma and Luke have this instant attraction to each other but both think they have no room in their lives for a relationship. After Emma's practice has a break-in the police realize that a lot of business' in the area have been hit for drugs. Luke asks Emma out to a ball game and their dogs enjoy the company. Will Luke and Emma be able to handle a relationship with their busy lives? Can Luke handle what is in Emma's past? Will Emma be able to get past the bad relationship?
A fantastic book that had me laughing out loud in spots. Great!

This was a very cute and easy read. I haven't read a small town romance in awhile and Jaci Burton does them well. I think I may have read other books in this series before, just out of order. The chemistry between Luke and Emma was really believable and I loved that Emma was a veterinarian. Overall, a fun, quick read.
