Life Changer: A Single Dad Firefighter Rom Com (Chicago First Responders Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 391 ratings

When a firefighter and the chef he's been crushing on cross paths, sparks fly.
***
Divorced single mom Dee has never much believed in fate until now, but something about the charming and adorably awkward flirt, Rhodes, has her intrigued and wanting to know more.

Widowed dad Rhodes has no idea who he’s about to meet on the blind date his son set up but can’t stop thinking about the food vlogger he’s been crushing on like a hormonal teenager.

Add in nice-guy ex husbands, meddling co-workers, and food made to make even the strongest man melt, Dee and Rhodes soon discover that while their loved ones may have bought them together, somewhere along the way, fate turned into the real hero of their story.

Can these two singletons trust the hard and fast connection they’ve found, or will the pressure to live up to expectations stop them from being the life changers they both want and need.
***

Swoon-worthy Perfection!
4 out of 5 stars
Swoon-worthy Perfection!
I have been waiting not so patiently for Rhodes book and his story was everything I didn't know I wanted but everything I hoped for in this single dad romance. "Look, Dad. I know it's been awhile for you, but when a guy likes a girl and a girl likes a guy, you lock that girl down before someone else snaps her up." Rhodes and Dee's story was nothing short of swoon-worthy perfection! It had me inhaling page after page of this fun, sweet, light read that I couldn't put down until the very end. The witty banter between father and son, co-workers, friends and family had me laughing and smiling throughout this entire book. "The one who taught me how to love was taken from me far too soon, and the one who changed my entire life and taught me to love again is standing in front of me telling me she thinks she can't be enough, when all she's ever been is too much. I love you, Dee. I love you in a way I've never loved anyone before, and that's because of Lily not despite her. She's my history; you're my future." If you're looking for a read that will sweep you off your feet while falling in love with these characters then you'll definitely want to read Rhodes and Dee's story!

    I love books by B J Harvey. The stories are interesting, the people are real, and while not necessarily ordinary, they are people you might encounter in your everyday life. She has written a group of stories where the cast of characters intermingle in the sense that some secondary characters show up as main characters in other books! Then all of the characters show up at parties. It's fun and you feel like you know them. This book is about a widower firefighter dad who is just now ready to think about dating. His friends sort of set him up with a local celebrity who is a divorcee who is also sort of ready to date. Great story. Adorable, clever side characters. Lots of banter. Are they really ready to date even though the attraction is strong??

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    I liked this book; almost as much as book 1.
    The H is a firefighter, 39 years old, a widower, and has a 16 year old son, Jake.
    The h is a chef, in her mid 30's, a business owner, makes YouTube videos, divorced, and has a 10 year old son.
    The MC's meet unexpectedly and then get setup together on a blind date. They slowly start getting to know each other and go on little dates.
    For me, Jake is the one that stole the show in both books 1 and 2. All the side characters in this book were extremely likeable and nice. I'm even considering reading book 3 as well.
    This book had a good storyline, it was enjoyable, never boring, great characters, and a little drama near the end to liven things up.
    Happy reading 🙂

    I absolutely loved this book! In fact I read it twice. The characters of Rhodes and Dee are fantastic. I really appreciated that the author used older characters (not in their 20’s) going through what it’s like to have to date or meet that special person when you’ve been out of the dating scene for awhile. This situation is very common in this day and age. I enjoyed the banter and just how the characters got along and gelled together. How they brought their kids together - real life situation. I believe everyone will enjoy this!!

    Another winner by this extremely talented author; this series just keeps getting better and better. Rhodes and Dee had so much chemistry; their story was sweet, steamy and heartwarming. Rhodes’ romantic self had me melting and swooning; add in that he is a firefighter and I was a goner. Single parent stories are quickly becoming my favorite genre.

    I thought I'd try one more in the series but was disappointed due to the dirty language the author has her characters insert into so many situations. I can understand the firemen at work and in groups but feel it's unnecessary and over used when the women talk that way. Mainly the main woman character.

    Widower and divorcee both being single parents romance. Sweet moments, awkward moments, and self doubt moments all play out on these pages.

    I have to say that LIFE CHANGER is so far one of my favourite books of 2021...
    Although this is only the second book by BJ Harvey that I’ve read I am so taken with her storytelling and her character building that I’ll be a definite fan going forward.

    I adored this story. Great main characters, a little older with families and some baggage but perfect for each other..

    Rhodes was a great leading man. His loyalty, commitment, humour and patience as well as his ability to think on his feet rounded out his character well.

    Dee was fab. Her home life was a little different to say the least but it worked for those involved and that was the main thing. She had a likability and realism that I liked. I loved her understanding when it comes to Rhode’s wife Lily and how, even though she was gone, she was still a part of their lives.

    The kids Harvey and Jake and Dee’s ex/best friend along with Rhodes friends, family and his work family were all great supporting characters.

    I’m going back to read Marco’s book and I am excited for more in the Chicago First Responders series!!

    Oh man, what can I say about Dee & Rhodes that hasn't already been said. This story was just the most wholesome romance I've read in a while and I absolutely loved it!! BJ Harvey never fails to bring amazing characters to life that you just wished you could live with and be part of their world.

    This story had me smiling and laughing along with everyone. This is one of my favourite romance books to date.

    This book was all too predictable. I felt I was reading a Hallmark movie. I would have loved a bit more conflict between the main characters.

    🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    I was excited for this book after reading the first in series. I love Jake he makes me laugh so much. I really hope he gets his own story at some point.

    I loved how they had a random meeting to an organised one by family.

    Rhodes was one of the best hero, I just loved him. How sweet, hot and romantic he was.

    I love that he got his second chance and Dee too. I loved how she was funny and kept him on his toes. I love her relationship with her ex, it just made her book special and I loved her son too.

    I have to read the rest of the series for definite when they release.
