About this listen
A firefighter burned out on romance. A single mom who sparks his interest and ignites their second chance at love.
After his former relationship goes up in flames, Andrew Buchanan accepts a position as captain of a firehouse near his hometown. Determined to invest time in his family and the new community, Andrew lets his brother reel him into coaching a kids’ soccer team. The last thing on his mind is romance...until an opportunity presents itself in the form of Bianca Perez.
She’s a single mom run ragged, but ready to step back into dating after being a widow for five years. Falling for a hot firefighter is crazy enough. Making a fool of herself in front of Andrew Buchanan is not part of her plan - if she had a more definite plan, she would know better than to fantasize about a man who would never give her the time of day. When her fantasy unfolds to reality, they both realize how much they need a chance to love again. Will Bianca be willing to risk losing another man in the line of duty?
Bright Side is the third book in the stand-alone series The Buchanans.

Story
An adrenaline junkie, a homebody, and the camping trip that ignites their love at first sight. When Leila’s students challenge her to go camping, she sets out armed with a bucket list designed to force her out of her comfort zone - the indoors. Her trip starts with a broken car, a twisted ankle, and several forces of nature. She expected a few bumps along the way, but not the handsome stranger who comes to her rescue. Ezra has no time for romance, preferring to spend his rare time off from work as a firefighter enjoying nature.

Love this!
A sweet story of slow evolving love. A little girl and her to the point grandma help make Bianca and Andrew realize they need each other. That just because their last relationships didn't work out doesn't mean that they are destined to be single. A cute read that ends with a HEA.
The narrative of the book was well done.

The faith these characters have
I have been so pleased with the belief and faith that is displayed in this book. Also, how a child can make such a big difference in your life. I love, love, love Rose Fresquez books.

Bianca's daughter steals the show
I loved this story. Bianca's daughter steals the show, I think. Andrew & Bianca each have heartache to overcome when it comes to a relationship together. That's where Bianca's daughter comes along to steal the show. She is so adorable. Grandma is also very active & outspoken about the relationship, in a positive way. I very much enjoyed Ms. Joyce's narration of this story. She captured the personality of each main character. I received a copy from the author.

Such a heart touching story , tissues needed!
Oh my goodness getting to know the characters in this book was such a sweet experience. Daisy has placed herself firmly in my heart, she is such a wonderful little girl lol even when she is whining and wanting her own way! Andrew is a brave strong firefighter that can be brought to his knees but he also has some issues he needs to work through. Bianca is a single mother that has had her heart broken and isn't about to let it happen again. Carmen, Bianca's mother is a hoot that has no problem speaking anything that comes into her head. This is a very enjoyable book that has some places that had me almost in tears. The author has written a book that really takes an honest look at what it is like to lose a spouse and what it takes to move forward. I highly recommend this book.
I received a free code for this book from the publisher to listen to on Audible. This review is my own honest opinion.
