Fire and Ash

Spitfire

By: Sara Cate

Narrated by: Grayson Owens

I’m in trouble.

A quick and dirty hookup with the hunky mechanic I just met is bad enough.

But when that God-like twenty-year-old turns out to be a student in my English class, I know it’s about to get much worse.

Pax Smith isn’t just the star player on the rugby team at Florence U and the hottest man I’ve ever been with. He also has a dark sordid past, and it’s written in the deep scars all over his face.

Not to mention—he’s in the closet.

Which means I have his secret. And he hates that.

What started as a one-time thing has turned into something neither of us were ready for.

And I’m not ready to let this wounded bully go.

This book released yesterday as a surprise and I dropped my whole tbr to read it. Sara Cate is a one lick read author for me. Everything she writes is amazing.

I enjoyed this quick MM novella
Pax and Thomas met when Thomas called a tow truck to help with his car. Their relationship was completely unconventional with a big age gap and the “forbidden love” trope. I really enjoyed seeing how Thomas knew exactly what Pax needed even if Pax didn’t or couldn’t voice it. The story was really good and the epilogue just made my heart so happy too 💕

The audio was fantastic for this book as well! I really loved Grayson and the way he narrated both POVs was fantastic!

“I want Pax to need me like air.”

Pax and Thomas are so perfect together. Thomas needs a man who needs him, and Pax needs a man who will look past all his scars and appreciate his beautiful, damaged soul. And that is exactly what they found in each other.

I love how patient Thomas was with Pax and his insecurities. The chemistry between them was absolutely explosive, and I thoroughly enjoyed their power struggle.

All in all, this was a really good read, and Grayson Owens did a fantastic job with this solo narration.

Quote: “I’ll never want another man as long as I live. Thomas is perfect in every way, and yet he treats me like I’m the God. Like my scars aren’t flaws, but beauty marks. He wants everyone in the world to know I’m his.”

Short and Spicy!

Although this was short, there was enough character development that I found myself caring about our MMCs myself rooting for their HEA. Grayson Owens is a wonderful performer, I found this title because of him.

4.5 starz - worthy of a repeat listen
