Hollis
by Ashley James
medium-paced
This was a great read! The hidden identity aspect of this from the start really drew me in. I think I love hidden identity trope more than I realised š Add in some closer proximity and that Hollis has figured it out and Ford hasnātā¦it comes to some fun and delicious tension.
Ford is a bit gruff but adorable. He has been through a recent divorce and wasnāt always treated the best. He has some insecurities which play on his mind which gives him a layer of vulnerability though heās the older, more rugged one in this pairing.
Hollis is a hoot. Heās charming, cocky, pretty funny, and brings a somewhat golden-retriever energy but at the same time it seems like he kind of āgetsā people and he reads Ford so well. Heās so sweet and supportive at some points, it really melted me.
While there were definitely some good soft, tender moments, I think I could have just used a little more emotional connection from both of them to really bump this up in my rating. However, I still really enjoyed how the relationship grew between them and how they connected in a number of ways.
This book has plenty of open-door detailed scenes so be aware if you pick this one up. If sexting is a thing for you, this is featured quite a lot and you might like that! The length of the texts made me laugh a little sometimes but it wasnāt bothersome.
I read this pretty much all in one sitting, I couldnāt put it down! Itās a really engaging story and I can recommend for a good M/M, age gap, fireman/cowboy romance!
