Review: The Fire by May Archer 3 of 5 stars

The Fire










The Fire by May Archer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Parker returns to O’Leary after ten years, only to find his dream falling apart — especially when Jameson Burke, his former best friend and first love, treats him like the enemy. When his new bar burns down and a blizzard traps them together, one intense night proves their old spark never really faded, leaving Parker imagining a future where they finally rebuild something together.

I really wanted to love this story, but the length worked against it. The constant needling and poor communication between Parker and Jameson stopped being fun tension and just became frustrating. It dragged on so much that I almost didn’t finish — but I’d already invested the time, so I pushed through. I did enjoy the pep talks from their friends, though I found it odd how everything had to be spelled out in such painstaking detail, as if the characters couldn’t connect the dots themselves. In the end, the story had heart, but the pacing and repetitive miscommunication made it harder to enjoy than I’d hoped. This was an MM story with mature content.
