Re-read this because I never gave it a review let alone a rating. I’m leaving it at a 4 ⭐️ for three reasons; first being that I don’t see myself picking this story up again if it were in my personal library, secondly Linc (Lincoln) unfortunately is not a very relatable character IMO especially with his skewed view of what trust and sticking to one’s word really means especially in regard to his friendship with Jacob’s older brother. Thirdly the angst Linc put Jacob through took way too much of this story to flesh out & the more I read I’m finding that it’s most authors MO to use it when their story isn’t a novella. Together Linc & Jacob are definitely the team mentioned a few times in the book & I loved each time Jacob rightfully calls Linc on his crap behavior & choices. Lastly, I will give the entire series a rating as they are not necessarily connected standalones. Listened via Alameda Hoopla.

Hotshots #1
Lincoln Reid and Jacob Hartman have known one another for decades. Jacob is the little brother of Wyatt, Lincoln’s best friend. That Jacob had an unrequited crush on Lincoln is not a secret but Lincoln has avoided Jacob and the chemistry between them for a long time. When the two men find themselves on the same fire crew preparing for the next season it is a wee bit uncomfortable for both of them...in more ways than one. Will Jacob wear Linc down? Will Linc be able to set aside the promise he has made to Wyatt in the past? Will the two be able to find a happily ever aver or not? Well, since this is from HQN-Carina the odds are pretty good their relationship will work out just right for both of them.
What I liked:
* Jacob – a bright, happy, positive man with a goal he wanted to achieve.
* Lincoln – conflicted for more than one reason and not willing to take a chance on happiness
* The team the two men work with – seem like a good lot to work with
* Jacob’s family – there for one another, for the most part
* The bits about fire fighting
* The dogs – dogs always add to a story
* Domestic scenes: cooking, TV, family events
* The reminder that a person can have both good and bad – thinking of Wyatt – and how two people who know that person with two sides will not see that person the same way
* That the two finally ended up on the same page together
What I did not like:
* Being reminded just how dangerous being a firefighter is.
* The reminder that bigotry and homophobia are a real thing
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? I think so
Thank you to NetGalley and HQN-Carina for the ARC – This is my honest review.
