Tinder

3.5 stars rounded up

This was better than I expected. I'd read a couple of Tory Temple's books a few years ago and stopped after the last one underwhelmed. My prompt to try Temple's writing again was due to needing a 'fire station' in a challenge. I'm very happy to say I enjoyed this.

Whilst the friction is a little forced from MC Morgan's perspective (I felt his explanation regarding firefighters was unconvincing) I did enjoy the back and forth, the uncertainty. And because the book isn't long it couldn't get protracted :) MC Chris was an interesting character finding his place in the world - it gave him a bit of depth.

Overall for an MM written in 2007 and being the fifth in the series, the author did a good job.

We have known Chris in Chance and Tucker's story. He is the young fireman Chance is so jelaous. Now Chris has found his match. Morgan is a 45 years old former fireman, who declares to hate all the fireman, especially the young and reckless one. But Chris, despite the negative attitude, can't prevent himself to be attracted by this man, so handsome and strong.

They starts a relationship from the attraction: sex is wonderful but Morgan doesn't want to call it a "relationship". They don't date, they are makinf sex. But when you feel for the other, and your mind is obsessed, how can you not call it love?

Chris is young and simple. He has no problem in his life, he enjoys sex and is not searching for something stable. Yes, he sometimes envies show more Tucker and his relationship, but until he meets Morgan, he has no idea how sweet can be to have something to return home. Morgan was scared in the past. He is not so young to allow himself to be scared again. He doesn't want commitment cause he fears to suffer again. But even if you are not searching it, love can grew slowly but strong.

Tinder is a story which flows smoothly. Attraction strucks hard from the first time, but then love cements the bound. When you search for an hot story between firemen, Tory Temple is your man (woman!). show less
