Cat's Review of Flirting with Fire: (A Shore Thing Novel Book Three) by Grace Kilian Delaney @GraceKilianD @TTCBooksandmore

A stuntman with a love for fire.

A yoga teacher in search of zen.

A holiday season neither will forget.

Stunt performer and self-declared badass, Tate Astbury returns to his hometown to spend another dreaded Thanksgiving with his dad. But his father forgets and makes other plans, resigning Tate to a quiet and depressing holiday alone unless he can find someplace else to celebrate.

 When Tate’s mischievous friend learns about the unfortunate twist, he dares Tate to enter a radio contest to become a fake boyfriend for a desperate caller’s holiday dinner, and Tate never turns down a dare.

Endre Michel is a mess. His yoga business is on the cusp of ruin, and his moms are visiting from out of state for the holiday, intent on meeting his boyfriend, a person Endre invented. Through the contest, he meets Tate, a crude, tattooed older man who plays the role of doting boyfriend so well, Endre suspects and hopes it’s not all for show.

Neither man can deny the unintended connection, and they struggle to overcome the distance between Tate’s put-together Hollywood career and the chaos surrounding Endre’s unsteady future—a situation that intensifies when an unthinkable tragedy uncovers a dark and painful truth. 

Will Tate and Endre’s future together perish in flames, or can their love rise from the ashes? Click the BUY NOW button at the top to find out.

Flirting with Fire is a standalone holiday romance with several cups of angst, questionable jokes, a bird with a wicked sense of humor, a bed with loud, squeaky springs, and an HFN/HEA ending. For best enjoyment, read Living on a Dare and Dancing with a Star, the previous books in the Shore Thing series

CW: suicide, substance abuse disorder, grief, mental illness

Buy links: Publisher | Amazon 

Cat gives this one 5 Meows with a 3 Purr heat index...

Holy Cow! What can I say other than you Must read this! I was gripped from the first and drug through the end.  It is book three but I followed along just fine, there were just characters I didn't know and would like to ( yep I will be reading the first too very soon). I will warn you as the author did in the blurb there are trigger warnings. (Attempted suicide, drug addiction, depression, But it is all handled so well, and if you can possibly read it, do. I found great help in this book)

Tate is at home in Boston to spend Thanksgiving with his dad but his dad had made plans with his girlfriend. On a dare, Tate excepts a challenge n the radio to be a fake boyfriend for a guy trying to get his mom and friends from setting I'm up all the time and he told them he had a boyfriend.  When Tate meets Endre, the younger man is more than he imagined and sparks fly. They develop a fast friend with benefits relationship and decide to see where that goes even when Tate goes back to California.

Endre finds out his best friend and partner has gone behind his back to sell their yoga studio thinking it is the best deal for Endre because they want to keep him on. Endre does not want to sell but doesn't know what to do.

This book is packed full of all sorts of angst and drama from page one until the end. It is very well written and deals with depression and recovering from substance abuse in a very good and helpful way. I think if you have suffered or have friends suffering you should read this because I think it gives sound advice on listening. There are many twists and turns one I never saw coming.

If you like fake boyfriends, stuntmen, yoga, hurt/comfort, and a very good romance with some hot sex this is just what you need!
