Fast Balls is Tar Lain's fifth book in her Balls to the Wall series. Each book can be read as a standalone book. Fast Balls is the first book in the series I have read and I wasn't confused at all, just wanted to read more about the secondary characters so I will definitely be checking out the others in this series.Firefighter Jerry Wallender develops a crush on homophobe Mick Cassidy.  After Mick sees usually happy Jerry depressed, Mick starts to be more friendly to Jerry. One thing leads to another and they develop a friendship and a relationship soon follows.  I am glad they didn't have an insta-romance. I loved how the relationship developed. And oh man did I get teary eyed several times reading about Mick's childhood and his jerk father.  Definitely a book that makes the reader think about the prejudices people face.  Highly recommend!
