About this listen
Re-release of 2009 novella - Fire cost Jared Kenny his home and all his memories of the man he'd loved for over half his life. But it also brought him firefighter Adam Collins and the purest blue eyes Jared had ever seen.
Despite the best efforts of his department, Adam had to watch with Jared while Jared's house burned to the ground. Something about the man touched Adam and made him want to follow up and protect him. Later, when the two of them gave in to their passion, it burnt and bared them both.
So Jared ran...from Adam, from his past, and from everything their future together could hold. He tried to start a new life, taking only his newfound passion for glass and his obsession for a finding a particular shade of blue, the blue of the heart of a flame. It took a near-tragedy to teach him that the blue he sought, he'd had all along...in his firefighter's eyes.

Thoughtful but uneven second-chances romance!
Within months of losing his lifetime partner to illness, 37 yo Jared Kenny watches as a wild fire takes their home. Firefighter 24 yo Adam Collins can’t save the house but he provides Jared with comfort and support in the subsequent months, hoping for more. Although Jared could look at Adam’s deep blue eyes forever, he isn’t ready for another commitment so soon and rebuffs Adam. Three years later, Jared, now a celebrated artist specialising in deep blue glass, comes to his senses. This second-chances novella covers a lot of ground in not much time so it felt unevenly paced or rushed at times. Second chance stories that straddle the gap are always a wrench and I didn’t enjoy the lead up to the breakup - I kept asking myself why Jared would walk away. However, the second half really grew on me and answered my question: it was bad timing. Jared had been in a decades-old daddy / boy relationship and needed to grieve, sort his head, and face life on his own for a while before he started anything new or different with someone else - that made a lot of sense to me and I could appreciate the second-chances theme a lot more. I could also appreciate the symmetry of Adam looking after Jared then Jared looking after Adam. It says a lot about ZA Maxfield’s excellent writing that this gave me much food for thought. Audio narrator Shannon Gunn really threw his heart into this, he hit every feeling hard!

Better the second time
The first time I thought jarrod was a winger, second time I saw him differently
Shannon Gunn could make a nursery rhyme sound hot so I love all his work
