Hot Head

So I have read this book about 5 times and every time I think I’ll write a review. I bought hot head when it first came out and loved it and never really left reviews. I just love Dante and Griff and the storyline is just fantastic. I’m just gutted that the second book has not been completed, but I will wait and read this book again and again.

I enjoyed this book, though it was a bit of a slow start, but do persevere it's worth it. Two childhood friends, Griffin an only child whose father is an investigator for the department ,and a cold man, and then you have Dante who comes from a large Italian family full of love and warmth, who have taken Griff into their embrace too. After Griffs marriage ends, he's at a bit of a loss and Dante is there for him, but Griffs feelings for Dante change from brotherly love to being in love with him. Griff loves him with a passion, but Dante is basically a manwhore, chasing anything in a skirt, so Griff keeps his feelings hidden. Dante owns and adores a wreck of a house he's trying to fix, and when he runs into trouble financially he decides to work for a porn video company for extra cash, and worms around Griff who wants to help him to do the same. This a deep story of how much you will endure because you love someone. Dante is sweet, but Griff is a complete darling, who has a heart as. If as an ocean. Please read this book it is so good

I really enjoyed this one. And I don't often give five stars.I loved the characters: Griff was great in terms of how he was figuring himself out and I liked the slow progress of that. There was no 'instant' insight, the story did a really nice job of developing that. With Dante I thought I knew where he was coming from (yeah, he was) but I liked that you don't know for sure. He is much more an enigma and the reveal of what he wants is very well written.I also really loved how warm Dante's family is - it is a nice contrast to so many books that feature homophobic parents and families. The story includes a realistic amount of the real world and homophobic reactions. I thought it was well done in terms of plot development at one point (about the internet content that Griff reconsidered).I particularly liked that the plot could have been so cheesy and corny but it was anything but. I can easily identify with the horror of losing your house, home and the place that you invested everything into that you have. It would definitely make me think of drastic measures which is why the plot didn't read as cheesy as it could have.The writing is great. It is lively and engaging. I just couldn't put the book down. I think I will re-read this at some point too.The only quibble I have that isn't one, not really: I feel that the title doesn't do anything for the book and story. Yes, it's got something to do with firefighting and obviously the plot, but it's not very appealing without knowing the context. A different title would serve this book better.This is the first book I read by Damon Suede, I've already gone and looked for more and bought another one. Heh.I really enjoyed this story.

MY REVIEWI was so excited to read Hot Head, and ive got to admit the blurb is quite intriguing.I mean hot sexy firemen who are best friends volunteering for a gay porn site?How could i say no i just couldn't resist.I am a big fan of M/M romance books and have read quite a few, some bad some good, some fantastic. Im going to put Hot Head in the good pushing towards Great.The sex scenes were off the charts hot in this book really well written.Dante and Griff are wonderful characters and i really liked the fact that Griff had been a part of Dante's crazy Italian family for years and that nothing changed when the men revealed there relationship. All the family were very supportive towards the couple.I adored the photo shoot scenes with the feisty lesbian pixi photographer!Overall a good read, recommended to anyone who loves a M/M read.

This is the story of 2 firefighters, Griffin and Dante, who have been friends since childhood. They develop romantic and sexual feelings for each other but don't realise how the other truely feels. The book is written in the third person but is told from Griffen's perspective.Dante is strapped for cash and needs money to pay his mortgage and refurbish his home. He has an opportunity to make money on a pornagraphic website and he earns more money if he can pose with someone else and carry out "extended" scenes. Griffen agrees to help him and finds it more and more difficult to be around Dante after they have performed on video.In some ways this is completely cliched - 2 macho, masculine firefighters who are used to whoring and touring together, men in uniform on porn sites, friendship turning into more even though they've never thought of other men in this way and cheesy language - "fat cannon", "curved spike"!However saying that, I loved it and none of these detracted from my pleasure in the story. In all honesty, it probably enhanced it! Highly recommended.
