I actually found it a bit dull. Was a little bit of a repeat of the previous books whereby the new disability had to be worked through and then realise they loved the person that was helping them. Will read Nash’s book and hopefully that will be a little different
I liked parts of the book and other parts just felt a bit frustrating with Tameron. It wasn't bad, just not for me.

If I didn’t want to read Nash’s story so badly, I don’t think I would’ve finished this one. Tameron was insufferable and although he eventually acknowledges that his trauma does not give him the right to br a piece of shit human and ableist, it was mostly off page. Therefore, we didn’t really see the change happen, it was like someone snapped a finger and one therapy session latter he was better. Dayton was oh so fucking perfect, and I could care less. Oh, and way too much sex.
Overall, thee story and writing weren’t superb. There was a lot of repetition, too the point is was almost obnoxious and some grammatical errors, but whatever. Hopefully Nash and Forest aren’t a complete dumpster fire.
If it’s not obvious, this book made me bitchy as hell.

5 “we’re perfect for each other” stars
I would have waited for you forever.
Thank you. I’ll spend the rest of my life making it worth the wait.
I rated four books 5 stars this year, two of them are part of this series. Let this be your hint that I am absolutely obsessed with everything this series has to offer.
I was so excited to get my hands on this book, since the second I started the first book in the series, a month ago. I just knew that this book would deliver everything I love in a book, and I was so right. You can ask my friends, they will be able to tell you how many times I annoyed them by stating how excited I was to read this book.
Mini-Blurb:
Tameron was in an accident while on military duty that left him with permanent hearing loss that keeps rapidly declining, and he is trying to adjust. He wants to hate Dayton, the hot firefighter that keeps crossing his path. But Dayton is a patient man, and he is determined to wait it out until Tameron is ready to be his.
“You made me work for you, Tam. Your attention, your affection, your love. I was honored.”
Tameron was so jaded and angry at first. He did not want to let anyone in, and he was prickly to anyone who approached him. But Dayton is a fixer and all he wanted was to get to know Tameron and to be able to support him. Their dynamic was just so good to me. There are so many times while reading that I caught myself smiling or squealing at something that they had said or thought about each other. Dayton is pining after Tameron from page 1 and is ready to be anything just to be in his orbit and that’s exactly how I prefer my bookish men, so I was in heaven. There was just something about the combination of Tameron with the chip on his shoulders that did not want to let anyone in and Dayton, with his infinite amount of patience and his understanding that just wanted to be there for him that absolutely made this book for me. These two fell in low slowly through all of the mountains that they climbed together and it was just so lovely to read about.
I loved the bisexual awakening aspect of this book. Tameron always thought he was straight, but he started thinking he might not be after he kept fantasizing about Dayton. I loved how Tameron was more than ok with being bi, he just didn’t want to be into Dayton. That’s the kind of dynamics I just cannot get enough of, and it was just so well done in this one. Their chemistry was sizzling off the page through every interaction that they had and the more they interacted, the better it got.
“I realized you’re my home. You’re the only one I can truly be myself with. I never have to fear you rejecting me because you won’t. You love me the way I am, with or without hearing, grumpy or not, with all my stubbornness.”
I loved how this book tackled the topic of how scary it is when everything in your life is changing and how hard it is to adjust to change. It’s a topic I can very much relate to, and I just loved reading how this book tackled it. Navigating life is hard and messy and this book showed this part so vividly.
As mentioned, Tameron was in an accident that left him deaf, and his hearing keeps declining. I loved how all the descriptions of this included in the book. I loved how we got to read about Tameron wearing his hearing aids and we got to see the perks and the rougher moments of wearing them. We also got to see his struggles with learning ASL and to learn more about the language and I thought it was absolutely fascinating to read about. I loved how we got to hear about his vertigo and the dizzy spells that were a side effect of his hearing loss. Every member of Dayton’s immediate family, but him, is deaf, so he knowns a lot about accessibility and tricks to help navigate the world and I loved learning about all of them.
Overall, this was the perfect characters, the perfect couple and the perfect book for me and I just adored it.
Thank you so much for the ARC of this book!
