The Holiday Firecrackers #4
Yikes on a Cracker!
Growing up, Hayden Corby was my best friend, and my worst enemy. It was always that way, but we could never stay away from each other. When he moved away, my world changed and the trouble stopped. The fun stopped too.
I convinced myself it was a good thing.
I convinced myself I didn’t need him.
But now it's five years later and our parents' are taking us to the lake house for the 4th of July.
It's only a couple of days in his presence, but it’s been so long that I'm dreading it.
God only knows who that guy is at eighteen. He’s probably an arrogant jock, who wants nothing to do with the bookish me.
So, imagine my shock when it turns out that Hayden not only glowed right up, but he makes my heart beat funny too.
Maybe there'll be more than the fireworks going bang this year...
Yikes on a Cracker is short and steamy romance that was previously known as Hayden's Firecracker. As always, this Megan Wade book comes with her ‘Sugar Promise�. High heat, low drama, guaranteed

Ready for some fireworks this is is a pretty shoet novella with some steam.
I giggled because anytime Hayden would play pranks or do stuff that invovled Zoey I was he has a crush. Doing all that stuff to her lol on baby Zoey. Now that they are spending 4th of July and 18 things changed. Hayden isn't the same troublemaker kid she knew he's a overprotective older brother and different then she remembered, as for Hayden his Zoey is different to shes more mellow and not wild but he still loves her and now he's finally going to make her his. There is drama but its family drama and not the couple drama so I love that.
No ow/om drama, no cheating, tiny drama,Sexy times, both virgins

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
Zoey isn’t happy when she hears the news that Hayden Corby and his family are coming to stay at the family cabin for July 4th weekend. Hayden did nothing but get her in trouble when they were children and when he moved away with his mum and stepdad she suddenly transformed into a good girl. At least that’s the way she remembers it. It’s been six years since they last saw one another so when she arrives and gets to meet eighteen year old Hayden she’s taken aback at how different he is, she wasn’t expecting the man in front of her. Zoey can’t help but wonder what else has changed, she watches him with his younger brother and she is shocked at how he seems to be the o my one looking after Davey. This weekend she didn’t expect to find the man she never knew she wanted but when he looks at her the chemistry sizzles. But is this just a quick fling he wants or could they actually have a love story with a HEA?
Hayden has been counting the days until he sees his one true love again, they were inseparable as children and he was devastated when his mum remarried and they had to move. The only thing Hayden cares about as much as he does her is his little brother Davey, he is pretty much raising him as his parents are always working. Going to college at the end of the summer is what he sees as his chance at freedom and the only person he wants to share the journey with is Zoey, he is the calm to her storm and this weekend he’s making her his forever. Will Hayden win her heart or does he already have it?
This was a great read and yes you are thinking is it right the way these two want forever to start now but you so want that happy ending. Fab fab read highly recommend it. 4.3*

“I was born loving you, and I’ve never been able to stop.�
This is the 4th book in the Holiday Firecrackers series. Every book I've read in this series has been fantastic, including this one. No cheating or abuse, no OM/OW drama, dual virgin, dual POV, epilogue 7 years later. Very good story.

HAYDEN’S FIRECRACKER is about a couple whose love is refreshingly realistic. Though Hayden and Zoey are in their late teens, they are responsible young adults who know what direction they want their lives to go, and neither are willing to back down when it comes to achieving their dreams. I really enjoyed seeing them think back to their childhood years and the numerous experiences they went through then. What is happening now that they are older is also insightful, as it let me know the type of person they had become as a grown-up. Megan Wade had me laughing with this couple at times, while other moments are movingly emotional.
Although Zoey Storm has not seen Hayden Corby since they were twelve, she never forgot the person who once lived next door to her. While they may have been together a lot, many of those instances regularly ended up with her being involved in a situation that left her annoyed. Hayden definitely remembers Zoey very well, too, and he is looking forward to seeing her again when their families spend 4th of July staying in a cabin at the lake. When these two are reunited for several days, how they really feel about one another may be exposed in a surprising way.
Since Hayden and Zoey are younger than many couples in romance stories, their book deals with college, families, and deciding the path that they want their life to take. I found them both to be interesting people, and I was eager to discover how each would perceive the other when they got back together again. The way in which Megan Wade portrays these individuals is believable, as their responses are genuine and very sincerely depicted. Fourth of July is a time for having fun, and Hayden plus Zoey might just have the opportunity to have the most enjoyable time of their lives.

"Hayden Corby went and did a Neville Longbottom—he glowed up. Holy shit."
This was a 3.5 star read for me so I went ahead and rounded it up to 4 stars. I read this as Yikes on a Cracker, part of the Sugar Curves series from Megan Wade.
So this is about two kids who are just out of high school which I'm not really into. I don't like my romance about an eighteen year old unless it's with an older man. I'm an age gap romance junkie. These two were also dual virgins which I did think was kind of cute. They were friends when they were kids and Hayden's family moved away when they were twelve. They haven't seen each other since.
Now they are both eighteen and spending the long fourth of July weekend together with their families. Like I said, not usually my type of read but it wasn't bad, just not my personal preference. What really pushed it to four stars for me was Hayden. I absolutely loved him. He was so adult, he took care of his little brother so lovingly without a complaint even though he should have been. He knew that he wanted Zoey forever and he made sure that was going to happen.
A good read, especially if you love new adult romance.

I always liked the story where love came naturally to two best friends. It was always sweet and had that "aww" effect for me. This one included. Two troublemakers that attached to the hip since they laid eyes on each other realized that they were incomplete without one another after one abrupt separation. But one family reunion-slash-vacation brought back all the bittersweet memory and the rest was history.

This was very intense, very fast as a reader, but I was ok with it given they'd grown up together (at least for a large portion of their lives, anyways).
I also think this is the first Megan Wade I've read that was NA. It just felt a little 'here's the plot ok and this is it' and maybe a little underdeveloped, I know her stuff is all crazy short but usual her 60 odd page reads have more development than this did.
A 3* because I wanted a lot more from the story. It boded so well and then just kind of enough didn't happen.

Zoey and Hayden were childhood friends
Zoey and Hayden were childhood friends and nemesis at the same time. He moved away, and he and his parents joined Zoey's family for a weekend at their cabin.
Zoey is speechless when she sees Hayden after six years. He's totally changed, and she finds herself attracted to her childhood nemesis.
Hayden just wants to spend time with Zoey.
Will Zoey see the young man he's become and accept him?
I enjoyed this read 📚!

I mean shortest book I have ever read 🤣
Unsure how I feel about this one. It was so bam bam bam end! But the spice was cute and the story line (lol it lasted a minute) was there just kind of feel it could have been so much longer!!
Definitely got more emotion at the epilogue and that itself saved the book!!
Rated it 2.5 stars purely because it was a cute short read!

He is my moon and my stars / She is the first and only girl he will ever love
What happens when you find the one and only woman you will ever love at the age of when you were still a child but then lost her at the age of twelve? Well if you are anything like Hayden then for six long years she will be the only one you think about and still want. When you finally get the chance to see her again when you are both eighteen, for the July Fourth weekend at a summer cabin on the lake, then you are determined to make her yours before the weekend is done.
Hayden Corby and Zoey Storm grew up as next door neighbors. He was enamored of her strength and fierceness. She never backed down from any dare he ever came up with, no matter how much trouble they would get into. Zoey remembers it a bit differently as she remembers "Hayden's favorite pastime was harassing me and refusing to leave me alone." He was the one who always got her in trouble at school and at home. Once he moved away she stopped getting into trouble so she hates him.
Hayden had moved away when he was twelve as his entire world turned upside down. He father left, his mother got remarried, there was a baby on the way and they moved to an apartment in the city. Before he left he was so upset and determined he would not be replaced by anyone is Zoey's life that he actually burned down her tree house, the one that they shared. That was one step to far for Zoey and it was hate at that point for her.
It is now six years later and for the Fourth of July weekend her parents have invited Hayden and his mother, stepfather and younger brother Dave to their summer cottage on a lake. This is Hayden's chance to get Zoey and he is determined to pull out all the stops and dare her to get back her "Amazon Queen", which after a little bit she does. After all the boy next door has grown up to be a smoking hot and sexy six packed man with a devilish streak and a tender heart and he wants his little firecracker back and ready to have her fuse lite.
Hayden's Firecracker by Megan Wade is the fourth book in The Holiday Firecrackers series where each book is by a different author. I completely adored this book and so fell in love with both Hayden and Zoey. The story-line was charming and entertaining and the characters, including the supporting were nicely written. Hayden and Zoey may have only been eighteen but they knew that they were meant to be together and on this July Fourth they are going to enjoy all the fireworks that they can, both in the sky and in the bedroom.

Zoey Storm and Hayden Corby had grown up together, best friends and worst enemies from moment to moment. But when he left, she missed what they had. Now their families were going to spend the 4th of July together at a lake cabin and she wasn’t sure how she felt about seeing the young adult he had now become, envisioning an arrogant jock who will be disgusted with the bookworm Zoey has turned into. He had always gotten her in trouble. But her dad chuckled at her memories saying that was not the way he had remembered it, and it will be fun, as long as they don’t sink the boat this time!
Hayden is eager to see Zoey again and how she has changed over the years. She was the first and only girl he loved, and her spirit of adventure amazed him. All you had to do was dare her and she would take any challenge thrown at her. Hayden was just finishing his shower when he opened the door to a startled Zoey. She was frozen in place, staring at the man in front of her, with his narrow hips, broad shoulders, six-pack abs, round pecs, and tattooed arms. And when he greeted her, his voice was deeper too! Her whole body was tingling! What was happening to her? And maybe things weren’t so bad having them here, she thought. She walked down to the dock and dangled her feet in the water, stretching to push them deeper to the cooler layer. Hayden told her to jump in and quit trying to adjust slowly to the water � then he shoved her in! When she sputtered to the surface, his nude form landed beside her, laughing! He hadn’t changed at all! He was still a brat and a troublemaker! When would she see that he has loved her from the first time they met and has saved himself just for her? Everything he does is to reinforce what they had and watch her react, then laugh. Even when he set the fireworks off in her treehouse and the whole thing burned down, it was only because he was leaving and did not want her sharing that part of their life with someone else. She was always the one for him. And she’s starting to feel the same way � she just can’t identify what that feeling is that she gets whenever she looks at him. Then he kisses her and she is beginning to figure it out . . .
This was such a good story, the characters so sweet and innocent. But Hayden knew his mind right from the beginning and was willing to wait for her. Is there a HEA in their future as they begin to figure out what they both want? Grab your copy and see what is waiting for them.

Megan Wade has written a short 5-star book. Zoey is upset when her father tells her that she will be going to the lake with them for the 4th of July and that Hayden, his mom, and stepdad will be there. Zoey remembers all the trouble they got into when younger. Now it is 6 years later and she has not seen him in that time. Hayden moved away from Zoey when they were twelve and his dad left. The last time they went on vacation together, his mom was getting remarried and he was not happy. Hayden now has a 5-year-old brother Dave he watches while his mom and stepdad do what they want. Hayden wants to go to college but his stepdad doesn't want him to go. While at the cabin they are all at, Hayden has to watch Dave and he falls in the lake while fishing. Hayden's mom sees this and she starts yelling at Hayden. Zoey tells Hayden's mom that it is her son and she should be watching him and not Hayden. Zoey and Hayden realize that they are meant to be together.
Can Zoey and Hayden have the life they want or will things keep them from getting it?
This was a wonderful short read and I would recommend it to anyone.

His little storm
This book is about Zoey and Hayden. They used to be friends growing up � partners in crime. Until this weekend away with their families, they hadn’t seen each other for six years. Now they’re both 18 years old, and Zoey’s not sure how she feels about him, though she does admire how he’s changed physically. But Hayden only has eyes for her, and is determined to make her his.
They tease and antagonise each other, but there’s also a spark between them that can’t be ignored. What tricks will he play to get her to go along with his shenanigans? I really loved the banter between these two. And the mutual surprise they had, and shared at the lake was sweet and steamy.
This pair of 18 year-olds knew what they wanted, and just went for it! I loved the way she stood up for him, and the way they stood up for each other. I’d love to see more of this pair, as they were wonderful characters that really pulled me into their swift love story. I give this book four and a half sweet stars!

I’d love to see more of this pair, as they were wonderful characters that really pulled me into their swift love story. I give this book four and a half sweet stars!

Hayden's Firecracker by Megan Wade is short,emotional and steamy friends to lovers romance story of Hayden and Zoey. growing up they were the best of friends always making troubles until Hayden became Zoeys enemy.. It was always that way, but they could never stay away from each other. When he moved away, her world changed and the trouble stopped. The fun stopped too. when Hayden put some fireworks in Zoeys tree house and set on fire and then his family left.After five years later and our parents are taking us to the lake house for the 4th of July.t it’s been so long that Im dreading it now at eighteen. He’s probably an arrogant jock, who wants nothing to do with the old me. So,, imagine my shock when it turns out that Hayden not only glowed right up, but he makes my heart beat funny too.Maybe there'll be more than the fireworks going bang this year.

First things first; I love the cover of this book!
Hayden’s firecracker is book four in the ‘’the holiday firecrackers’� series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout.

With the fourth of July weekend approaching, Zoey and her family are off to their cabin with old friends. Hayden has been in love with Zoey for years. After six years apart he is finally going to make her his woman.
The chemistry between Hayden and Zoey is clear to see and I liked them together. I thought they made a cute couple.
I loved how Zoey stood up for Hayden.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read.

This story is about childhood friends that meet up again after 6 years, with the male lead always having been in love with the female lead, but she thinks she hates him because he helped get her into trouble.
I really enjoyed the fact that he was the one who knew he’d been in love with her for years and that he continued to love her and had saved himself for her. It doesn’t take much to make her realize that she loves him too. This is a very sweet story of them coming back together again. The love scenes weren’t erotic enough for me but this is definitely a sweet loving story that I enjoyed.
Definitely recommend this book.

First off, I really did enjoy this. It was short, sweet, funny and a little poignant. I thought the characters were great and I loved how they just melded with each other.
Now the one thing... the MCs are both 18. And to my (old!) self, it read just a little bit like a YA story but with graphic sex and language. To be fair, that might be more a "me thing" than a story thing. But I can see this book being super appealing to those in the 18-28 or so age range.
Note: Available on KU at time of posting. Standalone in a series written by different authors. I've read others in the series and can totally recommend it. I would read more by Wade as the story itself was well written and engaging, with especially good dialogue.
