Otto:

Seth Walker was my first love and I always swore he’d be my last. Even after he moved away our senior year in high school, we vowed to reunite after graduation. But when he suddenly broke things off without explanation and crushed my heart, it was my turn to run.

After a decade in the navy, I’ve finally come home ready to move on with my life as Hobie’s newest firefighter. Unfortunately, the minute I set eyes on the new sheriff in town, I know I’m screwed. Hobie’s top cop is none other than Seth Walker.

Turns out, he’s come home too. And hell if he doesn’t have a lot of explaining to do.

Walker:

I thought I was doing the right thing when I walked away from Otto Wilde ten years ago without an explanation. I was wrong. I also thought I could come back home without having to face my past mistakes. I was wrong about that too.

What I’m not wrong about: The fact that my heart catches fire every time I set eyes on the sexy man. The fact that I can’t imagine my life without him. The fact that things are still just as complicated now as they were then. And the fact that I have a lot of work ahead of me if I expect to win him back.

Just when things start heating up between us again, a serial arsonist strikes and suspicion falls close to home. I already lost Otto to a secret long ago but I’ll be damned if I let another threaten to send our future up in smoke.

Because Otto Wilde is mine, and I don’t plan on ever letting him go again.
Each novel in the Forever Wilde series can be read on its own or as part of the series. Fair warning, there will be nekkid man parts touching, meddling patriarchs, sweet second-chance love themes, and a dearly departed donkey named Debbie Gibson.
REVIEW:

Here’s the deal. I absolutely love this author’s writing style. I can read her work all the love long day but I can’t because I have to work. You get so caught up in her stories, that you look up and realize you’ve been in one spot oblivious to your surroundings.

This book features one of my favorite themes: cops and firefighters. That alone was enough to get my attention reading the blurb, I saw that I was in for a great read.

Otto and Walker were high school sweethearts who thought they’d be together forever. This in my opinion went beyond the ‘puppy love’ phase that teenagers tend to go through. These young men were truly in love. One moved away but they promised to reunite once they both graduated to continue their lives. Well, things didn’t quite work out the way they planned; this is life.

They go their separate ways and grew up, explored the world, gained a lot more life’s experience and returned home. That’s one of the major themes in this story: you can always come home; there’s no place like it. And both men, unbeknownst to each other, decided to come home. That’s where both of their hearts were.

This is a wonderful story with just the right amount of sweet, heat, humor and just a touch of mystery. The book isn’t heavy but it’s not all fluff either. Her characters are engaging and the dialog is fantastic.
This author does an amazing job in balancing out all of the above named elements in the story to make it the perfect read.

I definitely recommend this book, this series and this author.
