Nothing But Smoke

BLURB:

 

Sometimes good boys do bad things.

 

Fire and Rain, Book 3

 

Michael Larson considers himself one of the good guys. He recycles, eats mostly vegan, and volunteers. But one night, while on a jog through a Seattle park, he encounters a sexy man on a motorcycle he wants to be bad with.

 

Firefighter Nicky O’Brian barely has time to even think about a sex life. Between his job and caring for his critically ill mother, his only pleasures involve a few racy videos and occasional nighttime forays to find men willing to help him forget his troubles.

 

It was supposed to be a one-time, anonymous hookup—until fate intervenes and their mutual attraction blossoms into a furtive affair. Michael doesn’t date closeted guys, but for the haunted, lonely Nicky he makes an exception.

 

When Nicky’s mother takes a turn for the worse, Michael is forced to make a choice between idealism and compassion. And as Nicky’s needs spiral out of control, Michael realizes that a new set of ideals could be exactly what he needs to keep love in his life—for good.

 

Warning: Contains sex in the trees, sex in parked cars, and sex in other uncomfortable places. Tissues are required, because the ending will make you cry—and maybe make you want to call your Mom.

Excerpt:

 

Where would I have seen…?

 

The answer snapped into his head, like a whip cracking against his consciousness.

 

Leather Dude from the park. F**k, f**k, f**k.

 

Michael dropped his gaze to his plate.

 

“Well, hurry up, or we’ll be done by the time you get around to eating.” Henri grabbed a chicken leg out of a bucket and headed to their spot.

 

Scooping casserole onto his plate, Michael snuck another glance at the man he’d blown in the park.

 

The guy’s friends moved away from him, leaving him standing awkwardly on the outer edge of a conversation between a middle-aged man—who Michael figured was a boss of some kind—and a couple women.

 

Not that Michael cared, but he couldn’t help wondering if the younger woman was the guy’s girlfriend. He guessed not, since Leather Dude didn’t lift his chin when she said something to him. Instead he kept his eyes on the grass like he was measuring its growth for a science experiment.

 

In the bright afternoon, Leather Dude’s bulk was even more pronounced than it had been at the park. His shoulders and chest strained his shirt, his biceps so pumped they barely fit through the sleeves.

 

With a nervous scratch to the back of his neck, the guy darted his gaze Michael’s direction before dropping it back to the grass.

 

What…? Oh!

 

Michael spun away, realizing the guy was ignoring him on purpose. God, that was weird. Normally when Michael ran into guys he’d messed around with, Michael was the one ducking behind trees or slipping into the nearest coffee shop to avoid conversation. He headed back to his friends before he was tempted to stare at the guy any longer. Something about Leather Dude had Michael wanting to twist around again, check out the guy one more time.

Review by Ashley Ladd


I enjoyed reading 'Nothing But Smoke' and found it surprisingly touching and deep after getting a few chapters into the story.


I commiserated with Nicky and all he was going through with his mother even as he struggled with coming out of the closet. I also appreciated how tender and supportive Michael was with Nicky, even at a detriment to his own feelings.


There was a high level of intimate male-male sex and romance which will keep male-male romantica readers thoroughly engaged in this story. More than sex for the sake of sex, there was a good, solid story. I also enjoyed the way the author wrangles with words.


I award this story four out of five stars.
