Review

I was originally going to read this one, but when AJ announced that the audiobook was out already, I jumped on that. It’s my first audiobook of theirs, and let me tell you, it was fantastic. His writing style is perfect for narration, and it was expertly done by Nick J. Russo. They seem like a perfect pairing. Nick captured the fun nature of the AJ’s style, and did a fantastic job at sucking you right it.

Not gonna lie, I love the Single Dads Club, and was excited for another member to join their ranks.

Derek was a high school hockey god back in the day, and he has returned home with his daughter after the death of his wife. Needing a fresh start and some family. That fresh start includes finding a home with the help of Cary, the nerdy friend of his brother Cal (book 1).

Cary is a warm and bubbly guy and also happens to be slightly (and hilariously) awkward around his high school crush.

There are some hijinks, sweet moments, and a chance to put the past to rest in this one. You will also walk away questioning if you should ever hold an open house if you're selling your home (naughty naughty).

Highly recommend the story and the audiobook.

Synopsis

Is it in bad taste to sleep with a client? Asking for a friend…

In high school, Derek ruled the school with his fellow hockey players, while I fantasized from afar. He only knew me as his little brother’s shy friend who, thanks to one vicious rumor from a former flame, had garnered a reputation as the school freak.

Twenty years later, I’m a successful real estate agent who’s put my embarrassing past behind me and smartly stayed away from love. I have things under control…until Derek suddenly returns to Sourwood sans wedding ring, and in dire need of a house for him and his daughter.

Clinching this sale will cement my hard-earned status as a top agent and distance me from my embarrassing past. If only I can stop shamelessly flirting with my new client. If only I can stop dreaming about him bending me over newly updated marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. Old habits die hard.

Soon though, my fantasy version of Derek fades away as I learn the truth about his return. Maybe I can get him to no longer see me as his little brother’s weird friend. Maybe he can get me to let down my guard and trust a guy again.

Or maybe those dreams are as unrealistic as the housing budget for a couple on House Hunters.

The Fireman and the Flirt is the fourth book in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone. It will give you all the brother's best friend, businessman/client, nerd/jock vibes you can handle without charging a commission.
