About this listen

They can't be together. They won't stay apart.

Marcus “Diesel” O’Shaughnessy is a brash, oversized CrossFit enthusiast with a naked lady tattooed on his rippling forearm. Jamie Prince is a private school teacher with an extremely low tolerance for bull.

The two men have zero in common. Well, except for three things: they’re both moonlighting as lifeguards for the summer; no matter how hard they try, they cannot stay away from each other; and they both have secrets they’re determined to keep.

What happens in the shadows of the Long Beach boardwalk can only remain hidden for so long. The July sunshine reveals the hot, unrelenting connection they never expected, forcing Marcus and Jamie to decide: are they simply caught up in a temporary heat stroke, or have they found something worth rescuing?

I liked the rawness of the characters and the obstacles they have to overcome with the support of their families.

Passionate characters

I'll be honest, there's not a ton of depth. But if you're wanting a super hot story this is it. An unlikely pairing, gay discovery. The train scene will live in my head for a long time!

Hot & Lovely

This author was new to me, but I really like their writing. The story takes place during the summer with both characters being lifeguards in a working class beach town on Long Island (with some occasional ventures into the city). The characters are well drawn, the angst is fairly low-stakes, and the spice in this book is very hot. That said, the voiceover actors really elevate this book into a very involving and engrossing experience, managing to make multiple characters believable (even the women’s voices worked)! I’m very picky about narrations, but both of these actors were superb!

I’d like to see this writer do more MM romance books, as they appear to do mostly MF…but in this book they clearly do a great job with the MM relationship and especially with the sex scenes!

Good book, but EXCELLENT performances!
