A Captivating Captains story

When a hunky fireman and a gorgeous gold medalist meet on Guy Fawkes Night, sparks are sure to fly!

For fireman Rob Monteagle, this Guy Fawkes Night seems like it’s going to be anything but fun. After all, who wants to spend the noisiest night of the year saving careless cats from trees or rattling a fundraising bucket at Longley Magna’s annual bonfire, the pride of the village’s bad-tempered old retainer?

For Ollie Tresham, the night isn’t looking any better. He might have won gold in the Olympic showjumping ring yet he’s still expected to meet the public at his dad’s charity fireworks extravaganza. But when a rogue rocket heads straight for the showjumper, it takes a quick-thinking fireman like Rob to save the day.

As the flames of the bonfire smolder, Rob and Ollie’s night is just getting started. And it’s sure to go with a bang!

REVIEW:

Being new in town, a person has to find ways to get to know the people and the culture there.

As a fireman who is still getting himself endeared to the locals, Rob is doing his best to get to know the village and its people and that includes Ollie Tresham, a gold medalist in the sport of horse showjumping, whom he has seen and heard passing through the village daily.

Unbeknownst to him, Ollie is the son of the old man who is hosting a bonfire and Rob has been grumbling about the man. It is a big event in the village and one that is attended by everyone, even by his own team from the fire department. They will participate in the event and also make sure that every safety precaution is being followed.

When the two meet, there is instant attraction that progresses into flirting. And incidentally being the only two gay people in town, they both became invested in it (the flirting and wanting to get to know each other better). That is aside from the fact that they both only recently became single again. But what Rob hoped would be a night of getting to know Ollie is now impossible because he didn’t know that Ollie is the son of the older bonfire host, who he insulted at length. Or is it possible they’ll make it work?

They find themselves to be so compatible and therein their story begins. What starts as an instant attraction blossomed into love.

The way this tale and the style it was written is new to me, aside from words that are not very common to me. But as I continued to read on, I began to appreciate the style and the words. It is fairly short and it readily delves into the very heart of the story. For those who want to try new authors and new ways of stories being told, this will be a treat.
