Review

Something’s rotten in Mission City, and journalist Ulysses is planning on figuring it out.

The new arrival to the town didn’t move here just for the small town life, and he wasn’t expecting the complication of sleeping with the very tempting Finnegan, the firefighter whose station is under his investigation.

These two can't stay away from each other, but they also don’t trust that they can be entirely open to each other. Which of course, causes wrinkles when they both have questions and both have secrets.

Finnegan is a little too good at avoiding questions for someone who doesn’t think things are wrong, but otherwise, they are super interesting story.

Michael Dean does a nice job with the narration. He has a wonderful voice that is wonderful to listen to.

Synopsis

Finn

Ulysses MacDonald left my bed after earth-shattering sex, but he certainly hasn’t left my mind. When he turns up as the Mission City Gazette's new editor, I'm intrigued. Then he starts poking around my fire hall, sneaking and spying. He won't tell me what he's doing there, and he keeps dodging my attempts to get close. I don't trust him, but Ulysses is hot as hell, and I hate realizing I still want him.

Ulysses

Sleeping with Finnegan O’Sullivan should’ve felt like a mistake—but it doesn’t. I’m still attracted to the firefighter’s quick wit and willingness to put his body on the line to save total strangers. But an anonymous tip has led me to illegal activities in Fire Hall One, and I'm a reporter before anything else. I'm not going to back off or get distracted, just because Finn is around. My first job now is to figure out if Finn is involved in the crimes, or just an oblivious bystander. If I'm wrong, I might ruin a good man’s reputation. Oh, and I might also get us both killed.

Ulysses’s Ultimatum is an interracial, age-gap, grumpy/sunshine, small-town, gay romantic suspense novel with a valiant firefighter, an investigative reporter with a dubious past, and the secret that might destroy them both.
