A Carlisle Deputies Novel Jordan Erichsohn suspects something is rotten about his boss, Judge Crawford. Unfortunately he has nowhere to turn and doubts anyone will believe his claims--least of all the handsome deputy, Pierre Ravelle, who has been assigned to protect the judge after he received threatening letters. The judge has a long reach, and if he finds out Jordan's turned on him, he might impede Jordan adopting his son, Jeremiah. When Jordan can no longer stay silent, he gathers his courage and tells Pierre what he knows. To his surprise and relief, Pierre believes him, and Jordan finds an ally... and maybe more. Pierre vows to do what it takes to protect Jordan and Jeremiah and see justice done. He's willing to fight for the man he's growing to love and the family he's starting to think of as his own. But Crawford is a powerful and dangerous enemy, and he's not above ripping apart everything Jordan and Pierre are trying to build in order to save himself....

The blurb gives a good rundown of the story, but I’ll repeat a little here. Jordan works for Judge Crawford. Someone is threatening Judge Crawford, so Deputy Pierre Ravelle is assigned to protect him and watch for any suspicious activity. Jordan thinks it may have something to do with some discrepancies he’s discovered in the files of the court cases the judge presided over. But can he trust Pierre to help him? The book continues with finding out the mystery of who’s threatening the judge, the romance of Pierre and Jordan and the adoption case of a boy Jordan wishes to adopt.
Jordan is a single gay man who wishes to adopt Jeremiah. My take on kids in stories is, they are okay if they act their ages and don’t take up too much of the story. In this case, the book is mostly about Jeremiah and the worries about the adoption. It’s about the men going out on dates with Jeremiah, and doing all sorts of kid stuff with him. There was hardly any romance and when there was, it was instant lust that escalated too quickly to love. So much time was spent with Jeremiah, that I never got a good feel how Jordan and Pierre fell in love with each other, other than Pierre wanted a family and he loved how Jordan cared for Jeremiah. The romance took back seat to Jeremiah.
As usual with this author’s stories, there is a lot of telling instead of showing, so I felt distant and couldn't relate to the MCs. I did like the mystery about the judge and the court cases. However, the relationship between Jordan and Pierre didn’t work for me. I also didn’t like that the author chose two names that both started with ‘J’. I kept getting the names mixed up between the characters. One of the things I did like was that a couple of the characters from the ‘Of Love’ series appeared in this book, so I guess ‘Carlisle Deputies’ could be considered a spin off from the ‘Of Love’ series.
Usually this author’s books are hit or miss for me, and Fire and Flint was clearly more of a miss than most of his other books I’ve read. Therefore, I can only give it 2 Stars. I’ve already purchased a couple of other books in this series. Here’s hoping they’re better than this one.
