Description
"A red-hot sapphic romance that's perfect for Ali Hazelwood fans."-Timothy Janovsky, USA Today bestselling author of The (Fake) Dating Game
A fire-starting scientist and a bi firefighter team up to save their best friend from an epic mistake in this celebration of queer joy, perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Ashley Herring Blake.
Nicole Wells left Seattle two years ago for a master's in fire dynamics and some much-needed space. Now she's back, ready to hit reset on her life...and take one last chance on best friend/unrequited love Skylar Clark. But Nic's plans crumble when Skylar announces she's quitting her job and moving to Fiji for secret reasons-another typical Skylar disaster in the making. It's a giant red flag, and Nic feels like she's the only one who sees it... Until she meets Kira.
Kira McKinney stepped in as Skylar's safety net friend while Nic was away. She's got plenty of her own problems-can't get promoted, cancels all her dates, her fire chief father's legacy-but when Skylar makes her announcement, Kira knows she's needed again. Fortunately, Kira finds an ally in Nic, and when talking to Skylar doesn't work, there's only one option left: shenanigans.
But as all their efforts go up in smoke, one thing becomes wildly clear. The situation between Nic and Kira is heating up...but they'll have to let go of the past first if they don't want to get burned.
"Hilarious and heartfelt. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!"-Carlyn Greenwald, author of Director's Cut

Reviews / Votes
Praise for ALL FIRED UP"What a messy, drunken, ill-advised joy of a book. Everyone's putting on a cool, with-it surface while paddling like mad underneath. It reminds me of Casey McQuiston's best party scenes, with the on-point Seattle flavor of Alexandria Bellefleur - effervescent and deeply sincere." - Olivia Waite, New York Times
"All Fired Up is warmly queer and sweetly nerdy. Mix those highlights with combustive chemistry between Nic and Kira and-BOOM!-you've got a red-hot sapphic romance that's perfect for Ali Hazelwood fans."-Timothy Janovsky, USA Today bestselling author of The (Fake) Dating Game
"In All Fired Up, England brings the heat, the heart, and the hard-earned happiness, and I greedily devoured every word of it. The sparks fly fast and furious and the chemistry is oh-so-real, striking the perfect match for romance lovers."-Dahlia Adler, award-winning author of Cool for the Summer
"I burned through this book! Nic and Kira are gorgeous hot messes and I couldn't get enough of their irresistible, kind, and spicy love story."-Amy Ratcliffe, author of Thrill Ride
"Equally hilarious and heartfelt, England has woven not only a fiery hot and emotional love story between two beautifully rendered women, but a wonderful love letter to the power of adult friendship and finding your place and values. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!"-Carlyn Greenwald, author of Director's Cut
