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 ...
