My only criticism is that the sex came a little earlier in the book than I would have wanted, but I was pleased with the heat level. Give me a steamy first time and I'm a happy camper! Pair that with a confident bisexual guy (view spoiler) and you've got me. The plot was squarely focused on the relationship between Brandt and Shane, and I really enjoyed how they went from tentative partners to full-blown love. The baby was a central driving figure in the book, but she wasn't the whole story. I'm pretty careful with books with babies and lots of family-dynamic complications, but I think Annabeth Albert did a great job with this one. However, I found myself getting more and more enthralled in the book the further I read.
I haven't loved any of the other books in the series thus far, and the reviews from my friends were all over the map. I went into Up in Smoke without high expectations. Annabeth Albert struck just the right balance between romantic chemistry, family-issues, excitement, and emotion, and left out all the unnecessary drama. However, I found myself getting more and more enthralled in the book the fur Up in Smoke was the book in the Hotshots series that I've been waiting for.

Co-parenting while they sort it out leads to late-night talks, and soul-bearing confessions lead to a most inconvenient attraction. Shane’s niece is safe in Brandt’s strong, capable hands, but too many questions remain unanswered. Now he gets to deliver the piece of news that will upend Brandt’s carefree life: he very well might be a dad. Like last spring when she convinced him to try skydiving for his birthday-and she walked away with the hot parachute instructor. Shane Travis is used to putting his country music career-and his own happiness-on hold after his sister rolls through his life. It’s a lifestyle that’s served him well…right up until the day he finds a baby on his doorstep.
He’s popular and fun-loving and not at all looking to settle down or form lasting relationships. He’s never met a parachute he can’t repair or a dangerous situation he couldn’t wrangle his way out of.

"Up in Smoke: The Influence of Household Behavior on the Long-Run Impact of Improved Cooking Stoves.Three Men and a Baby meets Backdraft with explosive chemistry and heartfelt feels. Hanna, Rema, Esther Duflo, and Michael Greenstone.Ģ016. This study underscores the need to test environmental technologies in real-world settings where behavior may undermine potential impacts. Households used the stoves irregularly and inappropriately, failed to maintain them, and usage declined over time. We find no changes across health outcomes or greenhouse gas emissions.
While smoke inhalation initially falls, this effect disappears by year two.
We provide evidence, from a large-scale randomized trial in India, on the benefits of a common, laboratory-validated stove with a four-year follow-up. Laboratory studies suggest that improved cooking stoves can reduce indoor air pollution, improve health, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries.
