Genre: LGBT Contemporary Dark and brooding firefighter Brad Archer has spent months denying his attraction to his roommate, police officer Gavin Connolly. Gavin is just the kind of guy he likes: tall, tough, and buff enough to actually handle Brad's big size and rough nature. To hide his real feelings Brad holds the handsome, seemingly straight cop at arms' length until a shooting at work leaves Gavin a little too vulnerable to ignore. What starts out as a simple attempt to comfort his roommate blows up into something wild, sexual, and wholly unexpected when Gavin wants more from Brad than a strong firefighter's shoulder to lean on. The sexual magnetism drawing the two of them together forces secrets to be revealed, and though the sex is mind-blowing it may not be worth weathering the storms their relationship could stir up. In order to protect him, Brad realizes he loves Gavin enough to let him go. The problem is--the stubborn cop may not let him.

Packing Heat by Kele Moon was a fast, short read easily finished in one sitting.
The story is about Gavin Connolly a cop, and Brad Archer an emotionally controlled and imposing firefighter. Gavin on the other hand, is easy going and doesn’t worry about the things he can’t change. Both Gavin and Brad are buff and toned men, with Brad being slightly taller and stronger. Gavin has had a crush on Brad for years; sadly he is terrible at letting Brad know that he’s interested in more than just a friendship. Unfortunately for Gavin, Brad believes that Gavin is straight. Brad’s decision to allow Gavin to move in as his roommate has become a torturous decision. One factor being that Gavin likes to walk around in a low slung towel after a shower.
I like that the action started right from the beginning of the book and escalated to some hot sexing very quickly. In fact there are numerous sex scenes and I found them all nicely descriptive. The scenes have mild D/s and this is a topic that runs throughout the book, not about D/s, but about roles when both men are viewed as tops. There’s also some dirty talking and handcuffs. Gavin eventually starts having more than just friendly feelings for Brad, and Brad also does for Gavin. But Brad has had a terrible past experience that threatens his very short relationship with Gavin. Gavin becomes furious with Brad’s complete flip-flop in behavior and decides to take matters into his own hands.
The author did a great job jumping into the action quickly at the beginning of the book, giving the readers some hot sex scenes, creating the tension point with Brad’s issues and then the resolution. The pace was quick and I wasn’t bored in the least. The only thing I wish was that the story was longer.
I always mention formatting and editing issues in books I critique. This book had some grammatical errors, but the formatting was beautiful *caresses the lovely formatting*. The formatting alone gets five stars.
I’d recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a fast read with some hot sexing between two strong, buff characters. I really enjoyed Packing Heat and give it 4 stars.
