It isn’t very often that I start out a review with a desire to simply—right away—share how much I enjoyed a book. Today is one of those days. I enjoyed The Firefighter’s Twins by Heidi McCahan! I don’t dole out five star reviews like candy; there are a few things that I’m looking for when determining how I rate a book (naturally, my opinion is mine alone and is subjective!).
Author Heidi McCahan hit one of those “things” that I look for right away, and I didn’t even realize it at first. The first two chapters took off really nicely. They involved me right away, and soon I realized that I was going from chapter to chapter, fully submerged in the story. With three kids in a busy household, yielding to distractions is quite easy for me; when I arrived at chapter five and noticed that I was completely focused on the story, I had a feeling McCahan’s story was a winner.
I was right.
Wedding planner Natalie McDowell and firefighter Shay Campbell both have their trust issues. Natalie’s boyfriend passed away two years ago, and Shay’s wife left him and their twin two-year-old sons. The two find themselves having to work together on a community project, and little by little they learn to trust again.
I was amazed at the attention to detail that author Heidi McCahan poured into The Firefighter’s Twins. She beautifully described details of single fatherhood, the idiosyncrasies of two-year-olds (and accurately represented appropriate two-year-old speech, I might add!), the awkwardness of new love, and the frustration of trust issues. The flow of the novel was seamless and fast-paced, and I am thrilled to recommend Heidi McCahan’s novels to you. This is an author that you will want to check out. It is clear to me that she puts tremendous effort into writing a memorable story, and I thoroughly look forward to reading her novels.
