My rating: 4 of 5 stars
August’s awful day takes a turn when a kitchen fire brings firefighter Drake into his life — who also happens to be his ex‑girlfriend’s brother. With his parents planning to move away, August feels more alone than ever and considers leaving town too. Drake, stuck in a rut, throws himself into organising a charity concert and ends up needing August’s help. Their chemistry grows fast, but with August unsure about staying and Drake unwilling to hurt his sister, acting on it becomes complicated.
The connection between August and Drake is undeniable from the start, even though it feels completely forbidden because of Serena and the complicated ties she has to them both. That tension adds an emotional edge to every moment they share as they slowly shift from attraction to something deeper. Their dating journey is full of feelings — longing, hesitation, hope — all heightened by August’s torment over whether he should move away with his parents or stay and take a chance on something real. Watching them fall for each other while navigating that uncertainty gave the story a strong emotional pull. A heartfelt, easy read with plenty of warmth, conflict, and connection. This was an MM story with mature content.
