"Tameron" is the third book in this contemporary series but it can be read as a standalone. We follow Tameron, a veteran who is losing his hearing, and Dayton, a firefighter. I absolutely adored it, I thought is was a fantastic addition to the series and I had the best time reading it, I couldn't put it down.
My heart ached for Tameron. He was lost and struggling so much and I just wanted to hug him. The chapters from his pov made me very emotional, I teared up more than once. I really really felt for him. Dayton's chapters were comforting. He had a heart of gold and was always trying to help the people (and kittens) around him. Such a kind and supportive person, the best friend and partner anyone could hope for.
I also really liked reading all the conversations about deaf culture and ASL. The side characters were also very interesting. I want Dax to get his own story!
Tameron's bi awakening was so much fun, I loved it. And I loved his chemistry with Dayton. They were wonderful together.
I can't wait to read Nash's story!! 

Tameron, you sweet, sweet grumpy man.  I want to smother you in hugs and affection. But thankfully, he has Dayton instead. Patient Dayton, who is willing to love him softly from afar until he’s ready.

Gah, it’s one thing to experience a life-altering trauma and the after effects, but also trying to support friends who are also trying to find their way forward from the accident that hurt them all.  How do you ask for help when your support system also needs help? And then watching them find a life of their own with love.

Tameron doesn’t know how to let people in and ask for help.  What he’s not prepared for is Dayton, who is kind and stubborn. 

Dayton is an incredible character. The only hearing member of a Deaf family, they are close, but being different always leaves its mark. And add in a career as a firefighter who sees some of the worst moments in life. He’s got tender spots that help him be the kind of person who can be there for another.

It’s a tender story, with lots of love and sweetness.  I adore them both.

A good read! Love how much we get to see if he other characters. I would have liked to know more about Tameron- I was anticipating more depth to his character. Even Dayton felt a bit too perfect for me. 

A terrific series and I enjoyed this book!

I really loved this book and it gave me all the feels. Tameron is a veteran who is learning to live his life after an accident that seriously injured him and several other soldiers. He has severe hearing loss and the balance issues that come with it. Dayton is a fire brigade chief who yearns for someone to care for. He's also CODA (child of deaf adults) and is one of the few who knows how Tameron is struggling to fit in with the wider Deaf community. I found the bits about Deaf culture to be really enlightening and appreciate the perspectives that I don't normally get to read about. There are some great tropes in here - hurt/comfort, military story, and first times. There's a little bit of enemies-to-lovers, but it's pretty mild. I found it to be a really emotional story as each man works through what their future is going to look like. I like the glimpses of characters from the past books and a peek into what is coming up for the final one. Would totally recommend this whole series.
