Review: Sweet Simon - Great addition to the series

I have been excited for this story, if for no other reason but to see Simon happy with Michael. He has wanted Michael for years, and has basically been biding his time. He has always been such a sweet, vibrant, funny guy who always tries to be there for his friends, supportive and caring, never asking anything for himself. But, he finally gives up on his crush for Michael thinking there won’t ever be anything between them and tries to move on, albeit unsuccessfully.Then we have Michael, who has always noticed Simon but never acted, first because of his position as Simon’s boss, and then his issues over being 13 years older. Simon no longer works at Firehouse Six, having now moved over to the EMT side of things. So, that only leaves the age issue. Michael is quite stubborn, but once they are brought together, things just click. Michael sees they actually have more in common than he though and eventually gets over this, but, it takes a little time and a few events to make it happen.Simon is always there for everyone else, like I said. Unfortunately, he has never felt more alone after his parents disown him for being gay. Not long after he and Michael decide to give a relationship a shot, Michael steps in quickly to take care of Simon and becomes his family instead. So, while there are sad moments involved here, there are heartwarming ones as well.It’s always nice to see the other guys again, and while I did miss a little bit of their banter, it was expected, as most of this story takes place outside of the firehouse.This installment in the Firehouse Six series didn’t have quite the heat of the previous stories, but it makes up for it in sweetness. As with the other books, this one is just as well written and just an overall feel-good story. I can definitely count on this series for my sweet but smexy hot fireman loving. I love the way these stories make me feel, and I’m very excited to see what’s next.Overall Impression: I really liked it
