Hot Head by Damon Suede

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Since 9/11, Brooklyn firefighter Griff Muir has wrestled with impossible feelings for his best friend and partner at Ladder 181: Dante Anastagio. Unfortunately Dante is strictly a ladies' man and the FDNY isn't exactly gay-friendly. For 10 years, Griff has hidden his heart in a half-life of public heroics and private anguish.

Griff's caution and Dante's cockiness make them an unbeatable team. To protect his buddy, there's nothing Griff wouldn't do… until Dante is nearly bankrupt and proposes the worst possible solution: HotHead.com, a gay-porn website where uniformed hunks get down-n-dirty… Now Dante wants them to appear there— together.

Griff may have to guard his heart and live out his darkest fantasies on camera. Can he rescue the man he loves without wrecking their careers, their families, or their friendship

I really enjoyed Hot Heads from start to finish. Sure, it could have ended much sooner, but as an engaged reader, I was happy to keep on going and going. I loved experiencing the turmoil right alongside these two men as they fought to find their happy ending. And you do experience every second of their angst. The fresh new dialogue, pacing, and even the crazy porno arc all worked for me. Thank you for this great read, Damon. I can't wait for your next release.
