I really enjoyed this start to the Ellery Mountain series, for fans of RJ Scott, this has been posted on the author's blog and I liked the sounds of the pairings for each story and this story did not disappoint!Finn is a cop, he's out but still came back to live and work in his small hometown of Ellery Mountain after college rather than going to a big city.Max is assistant to the Mayor and a volunteer firefighter, who moved to Ellery Mountain for a new start.They meet at a fire, at the police station, that Finn happens to have gotten stuck in where Max gets him out.  Before being taken to the hospital, Finn propositions Max, which takes him by surprise, but pleasantly so since he did think Finn was attractive but did not know if he was gay so he decides to follow up with him at the hospital and see where it goes.Unfortunately, while they try and see if there is someplace for them to go with a relationship, it appears someone wants to bring harm to Finn and both the police and firefighters are stumped and frustrated as to who and why! Finn was certainly shocked for who it turned out to be.I thought it was well written, with great characters, Finn and Max as well as Finn's friends, who become Max's friends, Daniel and Kieran, who will have their own stories in future books.  The mystery of who was trying to hurt Finn was part of the story, I didn't find it detracted from the romance portion of the story and I'm looking forward to The Teacher and the Soldier!
