This one just didn’t do it for me, i really was ready to DNF’d this one.

For me, the main characters seemed immature to me.

The FMC has a secret past, and brings it up so frequently which defeats the whole purpose of it being a secret to me. I also didn’t like that she kept emphasizing that she was ugly and the with plastic surgery became pretty and good enough for TV. Her poor confidence made me want to hug her.

It feels like the FMC and MMC are constantly living in the past and i just couldn’t get into their relationship.

"Fired Up" delivers a sizzling romance that'll have you craving both barbecue and love. Gigi Templeton's characters, Avery and Layla, are as hot as the grills they cook on, and their chemistry is palpable from the get-go. However, while the romance aspect is well-executed, the level of spice falls a tad short for my taste buds. I was expecting a bit more heat, but instead found myself craving a deeper exploration of the characters' backstories and the challenges they face. Despite this, Avery's cowboy charm and Layla's determination make for an enjoyable read that's perfect for a lazy afternoon in the sun. So, if you're looking for a light-hearted romance with a dash of danger, "Fired Up" might just be the book to ignite your interest.

Well thank you for another amazing swoon worthy book. Would 10/10 recommend with a level 4 spice level 🌶️

Fired Up by Gigi Templeton
I recieved an ebook ARC of this book to read and base a review on. All opinions are my own.

I had received the arc and accidently deleted it. I just finished after downloading a second time.

I did not really like this book at all. It's cool with Avery being a "BBQ Pit Master", but Layla getting involved with one of the contestants of the contest just will not sit right wih me. I don't care how many degrees of seperation she claims there are...it's still completely unfair to all the other contestants. If I came in second, I'd be throwing words at whoever's above Layla.

The "roadblocks" in the relationship felt very contrived, and so conviently fixed...

I'm afraid this isn't a book I'm recommending

What can I say I really enjoyed this book a lot, I'm only new to all this reviewing books but I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would do. I liked the two main character and their chemistry was on fire. This was my first book from the author Gigi Templeton and I was super impressed. The spice in this book was just the perfect enough spice for me and I enjoyed reading every single page of it. I received an arc from netgalley and I'm happy cause it's my first book. The writing of style from the very first page was so amazing. I love this book a lot and I would recommend giving it a read.

It’s packed with chemistry and subtext, but still grounded. Their conversations feel genuine enough that you could conceivably be overhearing two friends chatting at the next table over in a bar, rather than two fictional characters bickering and bantering on the page.

I received an ARC of this title from the publisher and author via NetGalley to provide an honest review. First and foremost, thanks to each for the opportunity. I am a fan of Ms Templeton, and enjoyed the book very much. In fact I read it in two and a half days 😊. Her characters are easy to love, and her style of writing pulls you in right from the first page.

The two main characters Avery and Layla are loveable and you root for them right from the very first moment they lay eyes on each other at the BBQ. The spice in this book is a 3/5, to me it’s more romance than spice. But, Avery is the perfect romance cowboy you love to want for your own.

I didn’t read book 1 in this series, but didn’t find it necessary. If you are looking for a fun, entertaining “beach read” romance novel this is a great one to pick up.❤️❤️ I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Omg terrible.

First of all, thank you, NetGalley for an advanced readers copy of this book.

This is an insta-lust romance set in Texas and you cannot escape the southern slang. It’s insufferable.

The great plot and character development kept me so engaged throughout the entire book that I had a very hard time putting this book down until the very last page was turned!
