When The Walls Come Down by Harper Robson
Hot Dam Homes, Book 2
Dylan
“Quirky.” Ugh, I hate that word. The PC term these days is ‘neuro-divergent’, but I prefer to be called autistic. It’s often a huge advantage to have a brain that works differently, but I sometimes wish it was easier to connect with other people. The things that make me different can make people want to keep their distance, and for a long time I’ve built walls around myself so no one wants to even try breaking through. Helping the sexy ER doctor renovate his house, I discover someone who wants to get closer instead of running away. I think Reed likes me because I’m a little different, not in spite of it. But the gorgeous doctor has a lot of baggage, and I worry that if he sees the parts of me I work so hard to keep under control, he’s going to turn tail and run.
Reed
I’ve overcome a lot to get to where I am as a doctor, including parents who loved their bigoted, homophobic church more than their child and an opioid addiction following years of self-loathing. I love my team in the ER, but in my personal life I prefer to fly solo. I’m comfortable behind the carefully built walls that no one, not even my best friend, gets through.
The old fixer-upper in a great neighborhood was supposed to be a side project, but I discovered pretty quickly that home renovations are not as easy as they look on TV. But when one of the sexiest men I’ve ever seen, who happens to be a contractor, shows up in my ER, he feels like the solution to all my problems. What I never expected was that while he was re-building my house, Dylan Campbell would be the first person who makes me want to take my walls down.
When The Walls Come Down is a steamy hurt/comfort MM Romance. It features an autistic home renovation expert, and a doctor scarred by a traumatic childhood. Two people who’ve always been outsiders figuring out how to let each other in.

As the movie ends, he turns to me. “I should head home,” he says, and I nod. It takes monstrous effort not to lean in and kiss him again, but if I do, there’s no way we won’t end up in my bed—or, better yet, right here on the floor, screwing our ever-loving brains out.
Instead, we stand and make our way slowly to my front door, still holding hands. After putting on his boots and jacket, he turns to me, his face uncertain.
“Thank you for dinner,” he says formally before biting his bottom lip.
I take a half step closer so I’m right in his personal space. Reaching up, I gently pull his bottom lip away from those teeth with the pad of my thumb. Then I slide my hand around to the nape of his neck, pulling him down into another kiss.
Within seconds, the kiss morphs from sweet and tender to scorching hot. He grabs my hips, squeezing them and pulling me in closer so I’m fitted against him, our chests pressed together. Sliding both my arms around his neck, I shiver when I feel his hardness pressing against mine.
Sliding his tongue into my mouth and tangling it with mine, he tightens his fingers on my hips, gripping me hard enough to leave bruises. Imagining the physical evidence of his touch sends another full-body shiver through me from my head down to my toes.
I force myself to pull my mouth away from his, and we’re both panting heavily as we rest our foreheads against each other, both breathing heavily.
“We… we need to stop,” I whisper, even though I’d rather walk over hot coals than stop kissing him.
With my hands on his chest, I feel his heart racing as he licks his lips and steps back. His grip on my hips tightens again, almost involuntarily, before he lets me go.
“You’re right,” he says, visibly struggling for control. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
