Publisher's summary

Tigger Flint and Thomas Flame shared an instant mutual hate for one another from the day they met in sixth grade. Their dislike grew into competition and rivalry throughout high school as they were stuck in the same honors classes and played the same sports. That hatred and rivalry followed them into adulthood as one became a cop and the other a fireman.

Sharing the same haunt, Guns and Hoses, gave everyone from both departments plenty of opportunity to witness their personal war. Being forced back onto the football field for charity gave both men another venue for their hatred and rivalry to make an appearance.

But those feelings weren't the only emotions in attendance and the winner of games could just be both of them.

This book contains adult m/m sexual situations and is intended for listeners of legal age in the country in which they reside.

Decent story. Decent narration. Great for an afternoon distraction. Put this book in the guilty pleasure pile.

Fun

Worth reading

This was a fun story to read, well written, interesting, and both guys were likeable. The sex scenes were hot, not overdone, and made me wish I could have them both.

loved this book

This book was great. I really liked how these two went from enemies to lovers. Once they worked their stuff out they had a fantastic relationship, a relationship that neither one had counted on. I really liked how there was tons of music referenced and how the songs matched the mood set by the book. The author did a great job. Now it's time for another one of her books. Happy reading!

Another story ruined by negative stigmas.....

Authors need to start educating themselves and stop using the term "Clean" to denote HIV status!

Using that ridiculously idiotic term not only shames people living with HIV, but also shows that the author couldn't be bothered to do some research. Plus, it implies that people are "Dirty" if they have an STI.

What?

It just…ended. That was weird. Is there a book 2 or some sort of follow up? It was going along fine and then drama, epilogue, done. I don’t feel like I got resolution. I’m off to see if there’s more.

DNF - but more like Could Not Finish

The primary problem is that the author switches between point of view MID CONVERSATION... multiple times! .. it’s virtually impossible to pay attention to what’s happening because you are constantly trying to figure out who the hell is talking!
When I got to the lyrics - I was out . Holy cow . An editor could have made this a great story . So glad I didn’t pay for this. 👎🏻
The narrator was fine
The story had potential
The execution was disastrous

it was terrible

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

it was terrible

Would you ever listen to anything by Brenda Cothern again?

no it was not what I thought

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Michael Vasicek?

it was terrible

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

it was terrible

Any additional comments?

it was terrible

Meh..

This was not very good. The story was tolerable, for the most part, but there was no real conclusion. it just sort of fizzled. The narration was awful. It was flat and made the already corny lines of dialogue even worse. Also, the author included several lines of song lyrics and the narrator's attempt at sexy recitation was SO cringy, I had to skip ahead. If this were not included in the romance package, I would have gotten a refund.
