Description

About the Author Cora Brent is the USA Today and New York Times bestselling author of the Gentry Boys series. She was born in a cold climate but escaped as soon as it was legally possible. These days, she lives in the Arizona desert with her husband, two kids, and a prickly pear cactus she has affectionately named “Spot.” Cora’s closet is filled with boxes of unfinished stories that date back to her 1980s childhood (someday she fully intends to finish her first masterpiece about a pink horse that plays baseball), but in the meantime, she’s consumed with her romance novels.

Features & Highlights

  • In this fiery series debut from
  • New York Times
  • and
  • USA Today
  • bestselling author Cora Brent, a workplace romance might prove too hot to handle.
  • Still reeling from a nasty divorce, Melanie Cruz’s pride takes another beating when she loses her enviable job at an upscale resort. After a flurry of unsuccessful interviews, she finally―desperately―accepts a job managing a small chain of family-owned pizzerias in a quaint downtown Phoenix neighborhood. The job also comes with Dominic Esposito, her overbearing but ridiculously handsome boss. Falling for him might be the last thing she expects, but maybe it’s the one thing she needs.
  • As hard as they try to resist, Melanie and Dominic embark on a romance as hot as a brick oven, and Melanie has every reason to believe that maybe, this time, she’s finally found “the one.”
  • But Dominic has a secret―one even his family doesn’t know. And the scandal could threaten everything he and Melanie have worked for…in business
  • and
  • in love.

I'll be on the hunt for more because this was an awesome contemporary romance with well developed characters

I can't believe this is the first book I've read by this author! Where have I been! Obviously, I'll be on the hunt for more because this was an awesome contemporary romance with well developed characters, an interesting unique storyline which revolved around a pizzeria (my favorite food!) and fascinating and intriguing supporting characters. I loved Dom and Melanie's chemistry and how they dealt with their relationship. Can't wait for the next book in this series! Would definitely recommend if you like contemporary romances! I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

A well written story on family, loyalty, love, and reconciliation!

Why it’s taken me this long to finally read the book I’ll never know but wow! I totally loved it! Fired is so very well written, the story is sweet, romantic, sexy, funny at times, and heartbreaking. The story flowed smoothly and the characters well developed. I love Gio and Dom’s relationship and their utmost loyalty to each other and to family. Melanie is such a strong character. Smart, sexy, funny, and has the same love of family that the brothers have. Together, Dom and Mel just make for the perfect pair! Kudos Cora for such a fine read!

Explosive!

Dominic Esposito- business owner used to being in control and in charge.
Melanie Cruz- business manager with a stubborn streak a mile long.
When these two collide, sparks fly! They try to deny their passion but it can only burn so long before it explodes! I loved this book. Keeps you on your toes!
