The Book: Take one tall, broad-shouldered fireman in his early thirties. Mix well with one skinny, eighteen-year-old college kid who lives for sex, and the results are sheer pleasure. Sam and Robert are about as opposite as you can get, aside from the fact that they're both into sex with guys. When Sam picks Robert up during Canada Day festivities, neither of them are expecting more than making some fireworks for the holiday. And the sparks definitely fly, especially since Sam is able to recharge his batteries as only an eighteen year old can. Robert finds himself both entranced and smitten with young Sam, who is bubbly and happy and can have more sex in the space of an hour than Robert can believe. But there's a world of difference between eighteen and thirty-two, as Sam and Robert discover along the way. Friends and family add to the difficulties they encounter. But the two of them come to realize that underneath it all, they have more than just a physical need for each other. The emotion that blossoms between them is soon as great as their first sizzling attraction. Drew Zachary, the author of Transforming Hades and Skin Deep, has written a romance as hot as the flame it's named after. Don't miss it!

I’m not really into mystery/thriller romance, above all when the main plot develop around a serial killer; so yes, I was probably a little biased when I started this novel. But the previous book, always related to homicide detective Mac and his high school teacher lover Tony was a good reason for me to give it a try, even if they were both involved in the thriller plot (Mac as in his capacity, Tony as one of the witnesses), the main focus was the relationship between Mac and Tony, a troubled relationship, since Mac wanted to remain in the closet, for various reasons, and Tony instead is the perfect example of out and proud. We left them at the end of that novel without really having found a solution to their divergent expectations.
An interesting novella, above all for the unusual plot, about the teenagers who are cast out of their homes in polygamous compounds throughout southern and eastern Utah. Jarom is one of those teenagers and Brett is the sheriff of a nearby small-town who “collects” these kids and give them a chance to a better life. Mostly Brett is a passing figure, someone the kids soon forget as soon as they enter the real world. But Jarom didn’t forget Brett and when it’s time for him to come back to retrieve his stepsister, he will find out that neither Brett forgot him.
