There was zero chemistry between Nicky and Michael, and I didn't understand why they were together. Neither wanted a relationship, and yet when the other told someone they were just friends, they got mad at each other. And Michael knew Nicky's mom was dying and he didn't want to tell her that he was gay, but Michael kept getting angry at Nicky for pretending they were friends in front of his mother. I don't understand why he was mad. I mean they'd only known each other for maybe a week, so the guy doesn't want to come out to his dying mother. You don't want a relationship, so who cares?! These two spent so much time being mad at each other I'm really not sure why either stuck around. The I love yous came across as forced, like they were said just to try to make the other happy or to not ditch out of their relationship. This book just didn't work for me.

Kuuluu näihin sarjoihinFire and Rain (Book 3)
Sometimes good boys do bad things. Fire and Rain, Book 3 Michael Larson considers himself one of the good guys. He recycles, eats mostly vegan, and volunteers. But one night, while on a jog through a Seattle park, he encounters a sexy man on a motorcycle he wants to be bad with. Firefighter Nicky O'Brian barely has time to even think about a sex life. Between his job and caring for his critically ill mother, his only pleasures involve a few racy videos and occasional nighttime forays to find men willing to help him forget his troubles. It was supposed to be a one-time, anonymous hookup-until fate intervenes and their mutual attraction blossoms into a furtive affair. Michael doesn't date closeted guys, but for the haunted, lonely Nicky he makes an exception. When Nicky's mother takes a turn for the worse, Michael is forced to make a choice between idealism and compassion. And as Nicky's needs spiral out of control, Michael realizes that a new set of ideals could be exactly what he needs to keep love in his life-for good. Warning: Contains sex in the trees, sex in parked cars, and sex in other uncomfortable places. Tissues are required, because the ending will make you cry-and maybe make you want to call your Mom.

Oletko sinä tämä henkilö? |
Nicky O'Brian isn't gay. Right? He can't be. He's a firefighter from an Irish Catholic family who is focused on taking care of his terminally ill mother. But the videos he watches at night and his occasional forays into the park to cruise for guys say otherwise. And when he hooks up with an incredibly hot strawberry-blond guy who keeps showing up again and again, he can't help wondering if maybe he wants more than just the occasional romp in the woods.
As Michael and Nicky spend more time together, both will need to confront their issues. Can Michael be with a guy who isn't open about who he is? And can Nicky get past his hangups and accept himself?

I find myself continuing to enjoy this firefighter series set in Seattle by Daisy Harris. And one of the things I always love about her novels set in the city is that it almost becomes a character in the story itself. The descriptions of the places, the people, the streets--they're all very real and authentic. And it helps the story come to life so much more easily in my head.
The story of these two is a bit different than the previous two books. While the dynamic puts them at odds, it didn't have quite the same intensity that I was used to seeing. Part of this may because there are a few skips in time where we miss some of the relationship development that struck me as an odd choice. That said, it's still fun and interesting to watch their journey from where they start to where they finish. ( )
