About this listen
Matt: I’m proud to be a Port Dale firefighter, but it isn’t all excitement and sitting around eating homemade meals. It’s also dealing with your work “family” in ways you never expected.
I love my real family, and I love my work “family”. Well, most of them. My “brothers” at the fire station are exactly what I need at work, but I wasn’t expecting to be asked out by my homophobic brother’s actual brother. I also wasn’t expecting how well it would work out or where it would lead us. I certainly didn’t expect we’d get caught.
Ethan: Tossed out by the Corps on medical grounds, I have no idea what to expect from civilian life. I’ve got my brother Keith, who’s been everything - brother, friend, parent. Yet, when I stumble across his fellow firefighter Matt, I find myself in a whole new world.
Matt is sweet, kind, and forgiving, everything my brother is not, especially when it comes to being gay. Matt is hot. He’s everything I need, and I know I can’t hide my true self forever.
For Matt and Ethan, there’s fiery instant attraction, but can they get over family hurdles? When gay-hating Keith catches them kissing at work, sparks fly! Can the fire between them be rekindled? Or is it dead forever?

Coming back home with my tail between my legs after a bitter divorce and a failed business venture isn’t exactly the life I’d envisioned for myself. At least there’s Bennett. Strong and steady as always, even if there is a simmering anger in him that wasn’t there when we were boys.

Soldiers die, that’s just how it goes. It’s different when it’s one of your brothers. Team Maelstrom, my team, was broken when we lost one of our own. And now we have to sit around Stateside while the men in charge figure out what to do with us. When they find a replacement, I immediately know it’s not going to work. I can’t deal with this pain in the ass. I want him gone. It looks like I’m stuck with him, but I don’t have to make it easy....

I know I can be a grumpy bastard, and I’m not the easiest man to deal with, but you’d think my best friend would trust me. We don’t keep secrets, even about our love lives. That’s what I thought until I found out Dean was seeing someone. I don’t like it...don’t ask me why. But there’s more to the story than I thought, and now I have to deal with feelings I didn’t even know were possible for me.

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

I’m a rookie, in every sense of the word. But even though I have a wicked crush on the sexy shortstop on my baseball team, I won’t give in to my fantasies about him. I’m here in the majors for the first time to play ball. Not to experience my first time with a man. Trouble is, Declan Steele is sexy, flirty, and now he’s my new workout partner. We’re spending mornings together in the gym, getting to know each other. Our connection is powerful—maybe because we each have our fair share of secrets and scars. Ones we'll both fight to protect.

Story
When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Payne. In search of: Room to rent. Must ignore the patheticness of a 40-year-old roommate. Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent). There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...

My parents turned their backs on me, and I’ve done everything since to become successful and show them what they've lost. Only it’s kinda hard to be a success when you’re a walking trainwreck.

I’ve had a crush on my brother’s best friend since the moment I laid eyes on him four years ago. Warner Ramsey is 225 pounds of pure hotness, a media darling, and one of the best NFL quarterbacks in the league. Hell, he’s the reason I figured out I’m solidly bi. It was easy to keep my crush under control when I was in college. Now, we play for the same team, and every time he talks smack, I want to shut him up. With my mouth.

Reed Ellis is absolutely gorgeous but a total newbie to camming, a virtual nobody in my world. I should have just deleted his message request for a steamy on-camera collaboration. Not everyone is cut out to be a camboy. But there's just something about him I couldn't resist. He's timid and inexperienced, quiet and closed off, but his fumbling first times play out scorching hot for the cameras, and our videos together are an instant success. I know I should just ride this out, sit back and watch the money roll in, and then move on.

Once upon a time, the sexy, witty Brit was just that hot guy I met my first day in London. Then, it turned out we were sharing a flat. But living that close to the most charming man I’d ever met was one step away from falling in love with him. Newsflash–I fell. Hard and fast into a swoony, epic romance that felt like something out of a movie...

Adorable story
The story flowed effortlessly. I can always get over the Midwestern/Canadian pronunciation of "sorry," but the one minor annoyance was the pronunciation of "cacophony."

Complicated family relations 🤗
Sweet & hot firefighter, really good-natured but would snap under the pressure of caring for his injured father and the attack of a homophobic coworker who is also the brother of his boyfriend, sexy ex-marine, brave but still hiding his orientation from said brother who raised him... complicated, but really good! 😉

When Ethan meets Matt
Plot: Firemen, former Marine, coming out of the closet, slice-of-life
Feels: Heart-warming and heart-breaking
Drama: Ethan's brother, Keith’s homophobia; Matt’s father’s mental health
Heat: 3/5
Characters: I love Romeo Alexander’s embarrassingly supportive fathers and Matt’s father definitely is adorably supportive, Ethan cowers a bit too much under his homophobic brother
Pacing: The story meanders a bit in the middle, but overall good flow
Length: Ok
Ending: HEA
Performance: Conversational tone and narration, I liked Ethan’s voice [and Theo’s], but feel Matt’s was too affected

I hate that homophobia rears its ugly head and the side effects are far reaching. It seems like Keith hasn't learned a thing and has no tolerance for gay people. I liked that Ethan and Matt had the strength to weather the storm and the support of most of the firehouse. A great story I enjoyed. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Sweet Entry, Horrifying Naration
All of the books in this series are short and sweet, but are almost ruined by the embarrassingly bad performance by this performer. It’s so bad; poor pronunciation, odd pauses, no emotion in some places, incorrect emotion in others. It’s a shame this authors sweet characters are butchered by this performance. The story wasn’t my favorite of the series but I loved checking in on the world. But I can’t recommend this book. Hearing an audiobook read by a seemingly 18 year old who can barely read it seems, is in a rotator for a professional production. Especially one that you pay for.

I finished it
This was given to me for an honest review so that’s what I’m going to give. The story wasn’t bad, it’s why I’m giving the overall of 3 stars. But the narrator was so bad he took any levity or genuine feelings out of it. Beyond the mispronunciation of words his cadence was all off and made diving in & loosing the world around you almost impossible.
On the positive side, I did finish the story. I will happily DNF & move on. But I did give this my all. The writing wasn’t terrible, and I honestly wonder how I would feel about it if I had read it instead of listened to it.
My suggestion to anyone interested in this trope is to buy it in your kindle and give it a read.
