Review: Secret Fire
Rating: 3 out of 5

Cops and firefighters. Really, any first responder story is always going to be packed with action and hot, sexy men. At least in fiction, that is. This author, for sure, isn't going to write about the lazy cop who's got thirty pounds hanging around his waist and a fondness for sweets. HA! 'Secret Fire' is Morticia Knight's fifth installment in her 'Uniform Encounters' series. I have found these books to be light with not a ton of drama, good action, and hot sex. In essence? Fun. And, I was just as interested in reading Zach and Daryl's story as I'd been the other guys' books.Poor Daryl. Very serious minded, and definitely lacking in normal social cues, still suffering from his last relationship where his boyfriend cheated on him, and extremely hesitant to risk himself, or his heart again. Zach has finally decided he wants a real relationship, not just random hookups, but is a little surprised when his friend pushes him towards Daryl, the crankiest man Zach has ever seen. Slowly, though, these two men spend more time together and agree to date and see where it might lead. Both men have a lot to learn about each other and their own insecurities and doubts. They also get the opportunity to see how Daryl's more serious side can lead him into depression and bitterness, whereas Zach's more lightheartedness and joking manner can complement each other.This was a good book with a sweet love story. Daryl's insecurities and his inner voice could get a little wearying at times, but it all worked out in the end. There was lots of excitement and action, plus intense sex. A confirmed recipe for fun.NOTE: This book was provided by Totally Bound Publishing for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
