He wanted a boyfriend. What he got was a hero. Fire and Rain, Book 1When an accident burns down Jesse’s apartment, he’s left broke and homeless, with a giant dog and a college schedule he can’t afford to maintain. And no family who’s willing to take him in. Lucky for him, a sexy fireman offers him a place to stay. The drawback? The fireman’s big Latino family lives next door, and they don’t know their son is gay. Tomas’s parents made their way in America with hard work and by accepting help when it was offered, so he won’t let Jesse drop out of school just so he can afford a place to live. Besides, Jesse’s the perfect roommate—funny, sweet and breathtakingly cute. He climbs into Tomas’s bed and tugs at his heart. Until Jesse starts pushing for more. Their passion enflames their bodies but threatens to crush Tomas’s family. Tomas is willing to fight for Jesse, but after losing everything, Jesse isn’t sure he can bear to risk his one remaining possession—his heart. Warning: Contains an angry older brother, judgmental best friends, a slobbering bull mastiff, and enough red-hot gay loving to make a porn star blush.

re-read to finish a DNF on 7/13/2004 and I didn't like it any better. It was a struggle to finish. I didn't connect with the characters nor did I like the plot.

*** 3.5 Stars ***A great novel by a new-to-me author! My favourite aspect of the book was finding a main character (Tomas Perez) whose voice felt simultaneously fresh and unexpected, yet entirely relatable. I'm always fascinated by different cultural reactions to sexual identity and how these cultur...

4.0 From the Ashes (Fire and Rain)
I enjoyed this so much. Fireman meets young man whose life is in ruins and a sweet, simple love story develops.

Meh, this was easily forgettable. The characters were flat and it was an insta-love deal. There was very little chemistry between Thomas and Jesse and I never felt a connection. A big problem I had was that even though Tomas was in the closet, he didn't seem struggle much with showing Jesse aff...
