Hot Head

By far the best romance novel I've read yet. That's of all genres and I'm a prolific reader. The writing is stellar with deep characters that you can hear in your head and feel in your heart. World building that is thick with smells and feelings, colors and life. Nothing feels repetitive in the language and you're immersed in the blue collar world of New York like these characters are people you'd see in your own dive bar. And the SEX!!! Be prepared to have multiple steamy scenes that will give you the BWs (book withdrawals: the act of having withdrawals after finishing an amazing book). Highly recommend!!! I was lucky to get this read on sale but would gladly pay over full price to read it again.

This is a great book. The story is based after the 9/11 attacks and it's about 2 firefighters.
I have to say ... It will break your heart reading about Griffin and Dante's struggles and decisions ... But it will put your heart back together ...
Friendship... Family and acceptance are a big part of them .. But the reality is that they love each other fiercely.

Mostly...I read science fiction...but recently I've begun reading gay romance...but that's not what Hot Head is...as powerful in it's understatement as it is in it's proclamation of sweetly genuine desire and the undeniable, fated union of two hearts…two souls...it is a love story...there is a difference . DS has crafted this incredible 'once upon a time' in the lives of two men whose life long friendship has grown into what neither of them is willing to recognize...out of fear of losing the very thing they want most...each other. A fabric of moments that are tender...loving... and hopeful…there is a guileless innocence that can’t be sullied even when Dante talks Grif into taking a bite out of the ‘apple”. During their most intimate encounters there is hesitation…and misunderstandings and all the while the sexual heat is literally burning all around them resulting in a flash point that is almost tangible in every interaction...God… This uniquely spun tale of boys in love has moved me like nothing I have ever read.
Thank you, DS

I read this book and loved it but then bought the audio version because I heard rave things about Charlie David's narration and I wanted to check it out!
I still love the story - two tough and gorgeous firefighters and Griff's secret love for his best friend Dante. It has it all - heroics, heartache, hot porn, passion, Griff in a kilt and sexy Dante!
And Charlie David's narration definitely does complement the telling of the story beautifully. At first I was worried that the story would be somehow diminished if the narration did not live up the expectations set by my own reading, but I was not disappointed at all. I loved the sexiness of Charlie's voice, his accents, tone and pace, all of which captured the character and spirit of the book perfectly.
If you are looking for a good book to read, particularly if you are after an audio book, then Hot Head is highly recommended!
