Publisher's summary

Angel DeLucca is one of the most sought after gay bachelors in Virginia Beach. He's smart, successful, lethal, and more than anything he's drop dead gorgeous. When a one night hook-up goes terribly wrong, Angel comes into contact with the breathtaking Maximus "Max" Strong.

Max is a firefighter for the Virginia Beach Fire Department. Max is beautiful, charming, and also very straight. One meeting with the mysteriously sexy Angel DeLucca and a whiff of that silky, jet black hair, Max finds himself questioning everything he's known to be true about himself. Max tries desperately to understand the new feelings he has for another man and turns to his gay, older brother...Ryker.

Ryker has always been Max's protector and his guide their entire lives, which has left him feeling uncared for and alone to handle his own life's problems. Ryker craves to be taken care of, he craves the attention and praise of a Master. No one knows the dark desires within him until Angel's Chief of Security, Sebastian "Bass" Bagatelli, shatters that secret with their first intense encounter.

Contains mature themes.

Great story!

I really enjoyed this story! It pulled me in from beginning to end and really held my attention. I loved getting to see these two come together and figure things out. There is an instant connection between Max and Angel but Max isn't sure what to do with it at first. He has never been into another guy before Angel and it throws him for a loop for sure. I loved watching the way that Angel and Max interacted as they went down the path of exploring what they had. Once Max opened himself up to it they both knew that it was more than just casual or something passing by. They knew it would be something very significant. We also get a second story with Max's brother Ryker and Angel's chief of security, Bass. I loved getting both going on at the same time. The story was interesting and held my attention the entire time. I'm excited for the next book in the series.
The narrator did a good job with the story and personalities and accents for the characters.

I saw you standing alone

When I first saw the title I thought this was a shifter/wolf story. I was pleasantly surprised. Performance was great, Tim Paige did an amazing job. Especially with the sexy times. I can't decide who my favorite character is, they are all so great. But I think... maybe... I'd have to say Hawk. Fingers crossed there's more of him in book 2.

Two good stories in one read

We have Angel and Max's story and get introduced to Ryder and Bass' story, which resulted in a very good read. Both stories will satisfy your reading entertainment without a doubt. The pace of the story was on point. Characters development was on point as well. The novel was not light when it came to drama, but I will say low regarding anguish. This allowed for a peaceful journey without ones blood pressure going through the roof. Sometimes a peaceful read is just what the mind needs in order to relax. Also, having a narrator reading the story for you that has a sexy, relaxing voice, work wonders. I totally recommend. ENJOY!

Hit the spot

A good piece to escape into. Easy to listen and just go with the story. Enough drama, sexy, and laugh/smiles to just go with the flow, not think too hard, and enjoy. Liked the set up to go into Book 2. Looking forward to it.

Loved it.

This is such a great book. Max and Angel are so awesome apart but together they are even better. This narrator does a good job of differentiating the characters and this author is on my must buy list.

Hot and yummy, need more stat!

5 Blue Roses
5 Blue Flames

Narrator Tim Paige’s felicitous delivery was as much sensual as action-packed. His perfect execution or accomplishment lies in the ease of weaving together several plotlines filled to the brim with stunning hot men. He managed to hold my attention and weaken my knees with his beautiful voice. Listeners will be hooked from the start as the sexy cadence of his voice fit the genre and various characters, making it easy to differentiate between them. I volunteer to grab and cuff Tim to the M/M Fiction side.

The author pulled off one of the most difficult storylines, without confusing the shit out of me. Listeners will be amazed by the number of men and couples in this one audiobook. Still, nothing felt rushed or half done. Best of all is I can remember every one of them, which almost never happens. The mental picture I painted for myself was ignited by the full and well-rounded character and world-building. Still, this was erotica with a plot. I loved the insta-love. It gave the audiobook almost an ethereal feel.

I absolutely recommend this audiobook, I can’t wait to hear book 2.

Happy Listening
