Flirting with Fire by Jane Porter

Modern Love Romance (Book 3)

Berkley (July 25, 2023)

Women’s Fiction

Love isn’t just an act in this captivating and flirty romance by New York Times bestselling author Jane Porter.

Forty-nine-year-old Margot Hughes has lived and breathed theater for the past twenty-five years. After a devastating breakup with her playwright fiancé, she wants nothing to do with the industry. She has sworn off New York, theater, actors—all of it. She returns to her hometown on California’s central coast and takes a job in real estate, where she manages significant investment properties. But Margot’s suddenly thrown back into the theater world when Sally, her friend and boss, who had been restoring and funding Cambria’s historic theater, has a heart attack. Before she knows it, Margot is tapped to take over the troubled summer production of Barefoot in the Park.

But the play is no walk in the park—the leads and director have all quit, and Margot struggles to find new actors…until Max Russo arrives. Forty-five-year-old Max is a former soap opera star turned rugged cowboy on TV’s most popular western series.  Max has a huge following and is the perfect hero to step up and save the play, provided Margot stars opposite him.   Although adamant she would never return to theater, Margot enjoys the long hours of rehearsal with a professional like Max, who is charming, witty, and passionate. But when the curtains close, can Margot allow herself to fall for Max when he represents everything she left behind?

REVIEW

I truly enjoyed Flirting with Fire. It has a wonderful storyline, likeable characters, a fabulous setting, and great dialogue.  I liked the growth of both characters and how they worked through issues. This is book 3 and the finale of the Modern Romance series. It reads as a standalone but I highly recommend all the books in the series (Flirting with Fifty and Flirting with the Beast). Jane Porter is a wonderful storyteller and I have thoroughly enjoyed her Modern Romance series.

“…I love you… It’s that simple, and that complicated.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I write both romance and women’s fiction, and I write in both genres because the stories matter, because women matter and families matter, and love matters very, very much. I love the very strong heroes because I grew up with some really strong women in my family. Even today, it has continued to surprise me that men sometimes are a bit baffled that I want to be so successful, that I have ambition, that I’m willing to work this hard.
