BLURB:
Zane’s Inferno – when burning, hot lust ignites into raging love.
After being trapped in a fire, Zane Wilson is shocked by the heat directed his way by Nick Dubois, the fire department’s top paramedic. Nick comes on to Zane, kissing him in the bunkroom, surprising the hell out of him. The next day, Nick shows up at Zane’s house and the fireworks really begin. The sex is rough and hot, not at all like anything Zane has had before.
Their relationship began because of a fire then almost ends because of one. When Zane is trapped in a forest fire and almost killed, Nick moves in and doesn’t leave his side. But a jealous ex is setting Nick up and gunning for Zane. Will they survive the firestorm created by their relationship, or succumb to the flames?
REVIEW:
Zane Wilson is a firefighter, somewhere in Texas, and he is firmly in the closet. But when he is almost caught in a fire, and narrowly escapes with some injuries, his friend and co-worker, Paramedic Nicholas Dubois is acting pretty strange.
Zane is sure that Nick is straight, and although Zane is gay, he has never admitted it at his workplace….because, they’re in Texas! Texas is not known as the most accepting State and the fire department is not known as a super gay friendly job either. It comes as a total surprise when Nick kisses Zane, and things heat up from there! But will they both survive the sudden rash in fires? And what is up with all these fires anyway?
I’ll be honest, I figured out the whodunit piece of the story before I was a third of the way through, but it was still a fun story to read. I would have liked more substance to the story. It was a little more heavily weighted on the blossoming sex life of the two men than it was on the actual story. It also lacked background details, which could have really helped the progression of the story. One example, I have no image in my mind of what the characters even looked like. It was a little too vague in those aspects.
This is a re-release of a short story/novella that was previously published in 2012. Even though it is a couple pages over our 50 page cut off for short story designation on our blog, I’m going to call it like I see it. It is definitely a short story, and I’m not holding that against it. That said, I truly believe I would have rated it higher if it had been fleshed out to be a full length novel before this re-release. I think these men had a great story to tell, but that there was a lot of it missing from the pages of this story.
