From New York Times bestselling author SHANNON STACEY…
Meet the tough, dedicated men of BOSTON FIRE—and the women who turn their lives upside down.
When faced with the opportunity to change shifts while staying in the same house, veteran firefighter Derek Gilman jumps at the chance. His new schedule means not working Saturdays, which means more time to spend with his two kids. His divorce may have been amicable, but being a firefighter and a single dad is a lot to juggle. And when fate brings a gorgeous, wealthy woman into his life, he’s pretty sure he can’t handle more than he already is.
Olivia McGovern loves plans. She planned to start her own business and planned its growth. It’s earning her seven figures now, but her personal life simply doesn’t exist. Getting trapped in a broken elevator figures in exactly nowhere, and freaking out in front of a sexy firefighter definitely isn’t on the agenda. Especially not one with two kids and an ex.
What would have been a random incident with an attractive stranger becomes something more when a charity event brings them back together. They’re from different sides of the tracks, literally—with friends, family and careers to consider. But as Derek and Olivia are discovering, chemistry doesn’t allow for plans, and love doesn’t bother with logistics.

What I thought about Under Control
This book starts out with Olivia and Derek meeting when they are trapped in an elevator together. After they get rescued, Olivia rushes off to her meeting and never gets Derek's number. Derek has the same problem -- he didn't get Olivia's number either and both of them can't stop thinking about each other.
That is until fate brings them together via a charity organization. It's really cute that they both want each other and it doesn't take long for them to move the relationship forward even though they have many obstacles to deal with. Derek is a devoted father and Olivia is a dedicated career woman and they live on opposite sides of town making their opportunities to be together a challenge.
I really liked how they both had to decide what they were willing to compromise on for love. The ending of Under Control hit many emotional notes for me and I absolutely loved it.
Under Control works well as a standalone and drops quite a few names from the previous books in the series that made me want to reread them again. That's a good thing.
Overall, I liked this. It's a sweet, adult romance that deals with some real-life issues in a very realistic way.
