Blake Hughes was comfortable being in the closet, especially at work while surrounded by macho firemen. A paramedic, still single at thirty, Blake kept his private life just that, private. Hunter Rasmussen transferred to LAFD from San Diego. Twenty-six, powerful and fit, the handsome blue-eyed brunette just wanted to leave the past behind. No one had to know what he went through down south. And he didn't need history to repeat itself. Being 'out' was not a good career move for all jobs, and particularly not with the fire service. When Hunter and Blake were assigned to the same shift pattern, they quickly became best friends. Partnered up on calls, hanging out together on days off, Hunter enjoyed Blake's company and Blake his. Until something, or someone, from Hunter's ugly past caused him problems. In the fire department, men rely on each other for their lives. Two go into a burning building, and two stay out to serve as their rescue team in case of emergency. Blake and Hunter were two men deeply in the closet. And only with devotion and love would their secret lives come 'out'. And Hunter and Blake find that courage in a very unusual place. Two devoted LAPD cops help show them the way. Two in, two out, it helps when someone is there to throw you a lifeline.… (meer)

After the story about the two lifeguards, G.A. Hauser continues in her dream men imaginary with two “hot” firemen, pun intended.

Blake and Hunter are fellow firemen and friends. It’s a joyous bartering between them, an innocent teasing. At least this is what both men believe: Blake and Hunter are so much in the closet that they don’t have the courage to come out neither to each other.

Hunter was burnt in the past, when he was with the San Diego FD he decided to be open with his sexuality and he was ostracized for that so much that, in the end, he decided to move out and be transferred in Los Angeles. He fantasized that Los Angeles was better, more gay friendly, but it’s not, and so Hunter is again in the closet. Worst, he has the hot for his fellow fireman Blake, that is also a very nice man, accepting Hunter’s teasing always with a smile but never letting go if he reciprocates.

Blake has long known that he is gay, but he fears the judgment of friends and family. From a very religious family, he has a bit the complex of “sin”: even if he is all right with his sexuality, I feel that he has some guilty feelings. Blake is basically a very nice man, good cook and family man, but due to his stubbornly intent on staying firmly in the closet, he is denying himself the joy of an open relationship.

It’s not helping them that around them seem to popping out gay men everywhere: Tanner and Josh, the two lifeguards who are protagonist of the previous book in the series, and Mickey and Jeff, who will be in the next one. Plus some other men that will be probably in other books in the series, if the author will continue it. G.A. Hauser is continuing with a spin off of her famous Los Angeles soap-opera whose main characters were Mark and Steve, also them, male model and former cop, two epitome of Gay Romance fantasies.

Blake and Hunter are a bit less faulty than her previous characters, they preserve the effrontery that is a trademark of G.A. Hauser, and like before, they are also high emotional and not scared to show their feelings, even with tears if necessary, but this time they are more aware that they are not living in a soap-opera, that it’s not easy to be an out man in a macho man field, that not only it’s not easy, but even dangerous. There is a bit a real life that intrudes in the romance, but after all, again, the romance is stronger.
