Firefighter Eric is on the front line, battling the threat of nature’s destruction in the California grasslands alongside his CalFire team. Focused and calm, even in the direst of situations, he has a strong affection for his fire truck, loves his career, and has best friends he can rely on. All he needs now is love, but that seems to be impossible to find. At his friend’s wedding. Eric falls in lust at first sight with the shy, slim and sexy Brady, even if Brady isn’t the type of guy he usually goes for. What Eric longs for is an equal in his bed, not a smaller guy who might want Eric to role-play big strong firefighter every time they have sex. He wants to find someone he can be vulnerable with, someone who will love him for his soft heart and quiet ways.
Brady’s life plans grind to a halt when his niece and nephew lose their parents in a tragic accident, and he becomes a dad overnight. His Developmental Coordination Disorder rules his life, but he fights both DCD and the fears that chase him every day, to give Maddie and Lucas a home. Agreeing to go to a friend’s wedding is a decision he regrets long before he even gets there. But, he refuses to give in to his fear, even if he might do something that makes him a target for people’s comments and laughter. Meeting Eric, a huge man with a gentle voice and a flair for chivalry, he falls hard. Now, if only he can let himself get past his panic that Eric would never want someone like him, then maybe he could fall in love for real.

This book is an absolute joy! I loved it. We met Eric in the first book in the series and he gets his HEA in this book. Leo is the last of the three housemates and I await his love story with anticipation (and not much patience haha).
Eric is a big man, a firefighter who is a regular everyday hero who is conscious of his size and how intimidating he can be. At his friend’s wedding, Eric is asked to keep an eye on Brady (one of the groom’s online friends who has anxiety) and Eric is intently drawn to the lovely dark haired Brady. For his part, Brady is charmed by Eric and attracted, but is certain Eric couldn’t be interested in such a klutzy guy as him. Not only is he living with DCD and how that limits his life, Brady is the parent of two lovely kids who lost their mom to an accident and Brady went from uncle to main caregiver overnight.
Brady is such an engaging character, I loved him right from the start. He is living with a condition that would make most people give in, but he fights his condition and his anxiety to fall in love with Eric. The pair complement each other perfectly, fitting together like puzzle pieces and the HEA is adorable.
Highly recommended!
I was given a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
