It’s a tale as old as time.

I’ve crushed on my brother’s best friend since I sprouted hairs on the unmentionables. Once upon a time, he was straight, until he wasn’t… and talk about bad timing.
 
And when we’re finally at a place for me to make my move, sexy rural firefighter Dan clams up and acts weird and I’m left with pants that are too tight and my heart feeling bruised… but he’s a good friend and I’m grateful he’s in my life.

Because of course Dan is a good guy.
 
Though him being “good” and ridiculously easy on the eyes and possibly the best man I know only makes me want him more.
 
When we’re thrust into a situation that brings both of us close to danger, it’s hardly the time to be chasing first kisses or finally acting on my crush. But Dan doesn’t seem to mind.
 
I just know that when the stakes are high and emotions are running wild, sometimes you have to show your hand and go all in.
 
And that’s exactly what I plan to do.


REVIEW
Rating: ☆☆☆☆

Ross and Dan have had feelings for each other for a long time but with Dan being Ross' brother's best friend they have been off limits to each other. For a while life took them apart from each other but they are now back in their home town. But Dan is still reluctant to move their relationship from friendship to more, having made that mistake in the past. 

These two both have good hearts and it is obvious from the get go that their hearts are meant for each other. Dan volunteers for the fire and rescue service in their town at the start of wild fire season. The time and courage that these men and women have is inspiring as they try desperately to keep the fires away from homes. The backdrop of the evolving relationship against these fires provides a contrast and shows the men at their best.

I really enjoyed the interactions between Ross and Dan as well as the characters around them. A love born out of friendship always makes me very happy and this made me very happy. It was a sweet and tender read that was definitely heart warming.
