This was a fun read. Hollis really did brighten up everything, even an older, grumpy, currently going through a divorce, fire department captain. 

I enjoyed how these two connected through a dating app where Ford knew who he was talking to and Hollis had no idea. They had insane chemistry from their sexting to in person intimacy. 

Hollis being a no strings kind of guy, really put in the effort with Ford. He listened and made him feel wanted/needed. I loved the scene where he came over to comfort Ford after his divorce was finalised. 

It was nice to see all the people in their lives so supportive of their relationship despite the 20 year age gap. I’m sad that the next book will the last in the series but I’m super excited for Gentry’s story.
