Once Burned by Lisa B. Kamps is a contemporary romance.  Ms. Kamps has provided readers with a well-written book.  This is a very angsty read, so if you don't like a lot of angst in your books, this probably won't be your favorite book ever.  If you do like angst, this book will be right up your alley.  

Nick was a teenage alcoholic when he crashed his car with his girlfriend in it.  Since that time he's cleaned up his act and is now a high school teacher.  Mike (or Michaela) is Nick's ex that was badly injured when their car accident happened and is now a firefighter.  Mike and Nick's story is loaded with drama, bits of humor, loads of angst and sex.  

While I enjoyed this story, the angst level was a little to much for me to love it.  I would be willing to give another book by Lisa B. Kamps a try though.  Once Burned is book 1 of the Firehouse Fourteen Series but can be read as a standalone.  This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
