Ford gives into the recommendation of his co-worker and joins a dating app as his divorce is finalized.  He was not expecting to match with his co-worker’s best friend, Hollis.  Ford is hesitant to begin anything Hollis since he is a self-proclaimed f*ck-boy.  But the appeal of a secret friends with benefits is too much for Ford to resist.

This was a solid good time… the sneaking around aspect just amped everything up.  I could feel myself blushing while reading and that almost never happens.  I loved Fire Daddy so much-Lordy.  While the passion and heat was there between Hollis and Ford from the start, I loved the slow building of their friendship into a relationship.  Ford’s grumpy personality was the perfect pairing for Hollis.  This was an addictive, funny, low-angst HOT HOT HOT story with a cowboy x firefighter with sneaking around.
