Publisher's summary

Former firefighter Frank Ramirez has never been afraid of the heat, until it came in the form of the sweet and sinful Joshua Sterling.

Frank’s days of rushing into burning buildings may be behind him, but as the owner of one of the most prestigious gay nightclubs in Florida, he’s still putting out fires. Lately it’s been one disaster after another, making Frank grumpier than usual. If that isn’t enough, someone is out to sabotage his business.

Joshua has a plan. He’s done pining after the man of his dreams and ready to do something about the sizzling attraction between them. He sets out to help Frank, and as executive assistant to billionaire Colton Connolly - and friend to his mayhem-magnet husband - Joshua knows a thing or two about managing chaos.

When a hidden threat raises the stakes, Joshua and Frank are put to the test. Can they win the fight for their love - and their lives?

Awwwww short but good 👍🏼

I adore both author and narrator, and enjoy the 4 Kings series. Get them all, you won't be disappointed.

Great narrator

I have loved this whole entire series. I highly recommend it. I cannot wait until the next installment of a new series she's doing,.

So Good but too short!

I’ve been waiting for this story since we met Frank. It was great! Not surprising. Charlie doesn’t disappoint. But way too short! Frank is such a good character. So much potential. I wanted more.
Definitely a great story. I just wasn’t satisfied.

Great short addition

Another great addition to this series. short but, oh so sweet and satisfying. it definitely leaves you wanting more. Greg Boudreaux always delivers the best narrative. he brings these books to life and gives each character an individual voice and personality. Charlie Cochet, please!!! bring us MORE. well worth the credit and your time to listen.

Too short! But I still think it’s worth the $$

I would have loved to have a longer story with more development of these two characters. Needed a better balance between plot and sex.

Short but sweet.

This is Frank and Josh's story, albeit a quick one. Honestly it's about 2+ hours of fluff (with unnecessary drama thrown in) that acts as a bridge from Jack's story to Joker's. Greg Boudreaux is amazing as always. Can't wait for the next one!

pure fluff - delightful 😊

Would I listen to it again: yes ✔
Did the story keep me engaged: yes ✔
Was I invested in the characters: yes ✔

📖 Story comment: Good pace, likeable characters, nice flow.
I was delightfully entertained with Frank and Joshua - I just wish it were longer!.

🎧 Narrator comment: Greg Boudreaux/Tremblay is a master at his craft! He suits the characters, has good timing, inflections and intonations and it's easy to distinguish the characters from each other. Always an enjoyable performance and he bought the book to life

Great Story

I love this series. This is my second time reading it. The narrator is one of my favorites.

Great story

The whole story is adorable but the “snowman incident” was hilarious. As always the book was well written with the perfect balance of love, heat and hilarity one expects from Cochet.

Raising the Ante

Omg this audio book was absolutely positivity amazing. I would highly recommend this audio book.
