As Seacroft’s resident weirdo, Avery proudly flies a lot of freak flags. It’s a constant battle to be taken seriously when everything, from his red hair to his sexuality, makes him stand out in this small town.

Small towns are also a terrible place to keep secrets, and Lincoln has a bunch of them. But his demons aren’t going to hold him back from his dream job at the Seacroft Fire Department. His life is finally coming together, until the red-haired twink with the big smile and fast mouth calls in an emergency.

Pining for the hot firefighter is Avery’s newest flag, even if he agrees to be “just friends.” For Linc, every minute with Avery is a temptation. He needs to let go of his fear and admit the truth. Linc doesn’t want to be Avery’s friend; he wants to be his everything. But just as Linc is ready to risk it all, Avery gets an unexpected offer to spread his colorful wings and fly away.

Hot Potato is an 80k slow burn friends-to-lovers contemporary MM romance. It features a fast-talking accountant who’s cooler than he thinks, the closeted firefighter who loves him more than he should, and a great big happy-sigh HEA.

Allison Temple has been a writer since the second grade, when she wrote a short story about a girl and her horse. Her grandmother typed it out for her and said she’s never seen so many quotation marks from a seven-year-old before. Allison took that as a challenge and has gone on to try to break her previous record in all her subsequent works.

Allison lives in Toronto with her very patient husband and the world’s neediest cat. She splits her free time between writing, community theater stage management, and traveling anywhere that has good wine. Tragically, this leaves no time to clean her house.

I've always had a thing for firefighters, so choosing to review Hot Potato was a no-brainer.

Hot Potato is a cool name for this story, but Sweet Potato is a more accurate title as that's how Avery and Linc met. It's kinda cute. Not to mention it becomes Avery's nickname to Linc's fellow, evil (but in a good way) firefighter, Vasquez, who would love nothing more than to see Avery and Linc become a couple.

I can kinda-sorta understand Linc's fear of coming out. Firefighting is a job that necessitates everyone having each other's backs. One dangerous situation plus one homophobic firefighter equals a possible recipe for disaster.

Hot Potato is not without angst. Miscommunication. Misunderstanding. Possible long distance separation.

Finally realizing the chemistry between them is to strong to ignore, as is their love for each other, Linc and Avery are able to overcome the angst in the best way possible.

All-in-all Hot Potato is an amazing story. I wish I could give it more than five stars, but I can't, so five stars it is.

Get it. Read it. You'll love it.
