This is my first by Mr. Grey, so this is virgin territory for me. I won't be a stranger to his works after reading this. This was a fun, light read, just what I needed after the past few weeks of personal problems. I quickly got attached to Lee and Dirk. I really wanted the book to be longer, there was so much left to explore, but hey, I still loved it. Dirk's a d-bag fire fighter who is hurt rescuing a child. Lee is a newbie that comes to visit Dirk in the hospital when Lee draws the short straw. With only Lee coming to visit him, Dirk is hurt and bewildered. It also plants the seed for Dirk to reevaluate his behavior and personality. He's not outed at the firehouse, but Lee is. A tug of war ensues with his feelings for Lee and his inability to come clean about who he is with his father and fellow firefights. For those who gave a lesser rating because of the lack of brotherhood, it doesn't matter what you perceive as a short coming, when you put a group of people together, no one escapes the pettiness, animosity,and jealousies of humans in a group setting. As I said earlier, I wish this was longer. I could lessen the stars, but I am not going to. After all, the book entertained me, ultimately, that is a priority in reading. I give it a station house full of stars. This was better than my first impression, I read the sample a while ago but found the main character abrasive, and his love interest too cocky.I saw that it was on lendle though so I signed up for it, and I am glad I did. This story is brain candy, you can see what is going to happen a mile away, but you keep reading anyway because its Andrew Gray so you know it's going to have a schmoopy ending.
