A review by bookswithcassie
High Heat by Annabeth Albert

4.0

Wow this book is SPICY!! Garrick and Rain have amazing chemistry that just jumps off the page. I was instantly hooked into this sexy and surprisingly emotional romance. Garrick is working on recovering from a near fatal firefighting accident and I saw a lot of my own struggles in him. Despite my own personal connection to the story I think that everyone will find themselves caught up in Garrick’s journey. Rain is also someone that I really admired. He is so unapologetically himself and I love that. And I hope that we get to see characters like Rain more in books because he represents that men don’t have to fit into certain categories to be a man and that definitely needs to be normalized. I also appreciated how well Rain and Garrick communicate with each other and say what they are feeling and thinking. Of course, no relationship has one hundred perfect communication but Garrick and Rain come pretty close. This book is a lot of sexy, steamy, spicy fun with an amazing couple who showcase many different facets of what masculinity can look like.
