I’ve always known guys are hot; I mean, objectively, a big dude, wrapped in muscles and not much else, that’s attractive, right? Everyone thinks so, right? It doesn’t mean I don’t want to go out every chance I have with my best friend to play the game. You know, find a willing partner, take her home, and have some fun? It doesn’t mean I’m not straight, does it?
READ MOREI’m a firefighter, for Christ’s sake. Not saying all firefighters are straight, far from it. I might not be as tall, or broad, or as toned as some of my fellow crew members, but I am around them all the time. I have been around them for the past five years, whether it’s just hanging out at the station on a slow day or straggling in after a four-alarm blaze to shower up and crawl into the bunks, tired from my hair to my toenails to my drained emotions. If I were really into guys, don’t you think I would have noticed, with all the time I spend around them when they are glistening with sweat or soapy in the shower or …
I shower with them, for God’s sake!
I sleep with them. Well, not, you know, sleep with them. But I’ve spent the last five years sharing a bunk with my best friend. Wait, no, not, you know, sharing. We sleep. Him on the bottom, and me on top. In bunk beds! At the fire station!
Guys are hot, and I hook up with women. End of story!
COLLAPSEI was laughing so hard in the prologue, listening to Jackson convince himself he’s straight. The laughter continues throughout this sweet book; these two dude bros are so flipping precious!!! Seriously, I adored every moment of this book. Well, there is one part, but it doesn’t last long and isn’t too bad (and wasn’t thrown in just to create havoc like some books). The mark of a great writer is when they can really make you empathize with and care for the characters. AJ and Jackson are fantastic and I want more!! This was my first Madalyn George book, but it will not be my last! *skips off to go check out the backlist*
