Publisher's summary

Dax:

My job is putting out fires - PR fires, that is. Partner in one of the most prestigious PR firms in Hollywood, I've lived most of my life helping others stay in the spotlight but keeping as far away from it myself as humanly possible.

Enter Jace Kruse.

#HottieFirefighter is the hashtag everyone is using for the overnight Insta-star who made headlines when a pic of him with a pooch he saved from a runaway vehicle went viral. It doesn't have anything to do with my life until a major potential client shows interest in an endorsement deal with the internet sensation, and Jace becomes my ticket to stomping the ass of one of my company's fiercest competitors.

Problem is: Jace isn't swayed by dreams of fame and fortune. He prefers his down-to-earth life in Fever Falls and has turned down every company who's approached him to leech off his recently acquired celebrity status.

But where others have failed, I'm confident I can succeed. If there's one thing I'm good at, it's persuading. And after a few encounters with Jace, the easy-go-lucky, ever-charming, sexy-as-hell, and surprisingly #topcurious firefighter has me persuading him about more than signing on for an endorsement deal.

He may be good at putting out fires, but Jace sure knows how to start them in the bedroom...and then in my heart. However, between his rising star power and the intensity of my feelings, I know where this inferno is leading, and if we don't put it out soon, someone's going to get burned.

#Burn is part of the Fever Falls series but can be listened to and enjoyed as a stand-alone.

SPOILER ALERT ,I CRIED

Damn that was great! First time I’ve shed tears with a smutty audio book. Talk about a redemption arch for Dax’s Mom. SIDE NOTE I swear Michael Pauly always manages to get me emotional. Great listen !

A Delicious 2nd Installment.....

I do so appreciate Devon McCormack's writing: right to a man's heart in the realm of M/M romance! And to an increasing female fan base - bless you sweet ladies - as we all savor the male psyche as it wraps itself around an incredible twist in the road of life.

I truly enjoyed Jace & Dax's evolution as they held true to their initial understanding of life, as they saw it. Willing to accept events out of left-field, and seeing them work through the things outside their comfort zones, their characters matured into very interesting people. Enriched by the secondary folks who were humorous, tender, and caring, that grabbed at my heart.

Just the right blend with the past population, and introducing the new people who added so much to the overall experience. Characters rife with the right amount of angst & "issues," without getting us suffocated by the unresolved past. Good balance! Sexy A.F., as Devon can write, while presenting a complex story more than holding our interest!!

This writing gave Michael Dean something to sink his carnal teeth into. His beautiful, erotic voice shone through this passionate story. His ability to impart unique personas to each character earned him FIVE STARS from me. Yet another excellent job, Mr. Dean❤!

On to book 3.

#hottiefirefighter & jaded PR exec

What happens when you take one reluctant hero hottie firefighter and put him with a jaded public relations guy? Well, sparks are going to fly. Dax Monroe is a career-focused driven man. To secure his new account, he has to sign Jace Kruse. Everyone wants their moment of fame and a nice paycheck to go with it, right? Not if you’re a small-town firefighter who is doing what he loves. He has a great life including an amazing adoptive mother and a super-cute younger brother. He even has the dog he rescued – the dog whose adventures started him down this crazy journey. Who knew a shirtless photo of him carrying the dog would turn his world upside down? That he’d become an instant celebrity?

I loved Jace’s earnestness. There are people in the world who are selfless and enjoy doing things for other people without expectation of return. While Dax is transactional, Jace is generous. He’s also straight – or so he believes. He’s only ever dated women and it’s only upon meeting Dax that he realizes he might have been missing out. Jace’s coming out process isn’t as painful as it is for some people, but there are still a few hiccups. Being in the spotlight is not somewhere he’s comfortable being but it’s all for a good cause so he steps up to the plate.

I enjoyed the men’s interactions and I felt they went well together. I also liked how their individual relationships with their mothers were so important to the story. Sometimes parents are only on the sidelines and in this case these women helped shape who the men find themselves being today – whether for good or for bad. I also liked how all of the characters grew as they learned more about themselves.

As for the narration…? Michael Pauley is, as always, perfect. He can move seamlessly between the different male characters to the women without missing a beat. His performances are always enjoyable and this one was no exception. This was a fun read and I liked going back to Fever Falls for the second time and I can’t wait for future books.

Simple Fling Turns Into So Much More

The connection neither man was expecting to form was one of the sexiest, sweetest, and most healing ones to witness. I loved watching Dax and Jace come together and learn to trust in each other. And Michael Dean does another amazing job bringing this story to life.

Good story

This whole time I thought the narrator was Canadian until he absolutely butched what I'm assuming was the word 'enchante'

Great story but not so great narration

This book was great the storyline was great but the narration was so-so. The narrator sound like he had a stuffy nose or a sinus problems.

Surprised...

Devon McCormack and Riley Hart have co-written several books together. And between the two, I've always preferred Riley Hart's works so I was surprised here that I found McCormack's second book better than the first, Fired Up, by Hart. The plot and characters here were just more intriguing and interesting. Don't get me wrong, I liked Ashton and Beau from the previous book too but their dynamic fell flat and just didn't move me the way Dax and Jace did.

Overall: Looking to see what more McCormack and Hart will bring to this series. I hope it's not the end of Fever Falls.

Narrator, Michael Pauley is incredible!

great story as always from Devon McCormick. characters are easy to follow with a food story line. I look forward to more books in this series.

Hope there are more to come
