A review by melaniebopp
High Heat by Annabeth Albert

High Heat follows smoke jumper Garrick after a major injury, one that has potentially changed his career forever, as he is working on recovery, and needs a hand around his place after he accidentally adopts a stray dog that just...shows up one day and never leaves. In comes Rain, the grandson of Garrick's neighbor across the street, Rain is the kind of personality that jumps from one temp thing to the next, and is in town right now to help out his grandmother and figure out what he wasnts to do next. It's an interesting dichotomy between one character that is permanently stuck in the past, and another who is constantly looking at tomorrow.

The romance is basically fling-turns-feelings, which I enjoyed, but there were several moments of "I am making a decision for my partner because I know what they need and would make them happy" that got frustrating. Overall, though, I did enjoy.
