Genuinely sweet with some nice steam!

Rhys is a single dad to toddler Sammy and both father and son are whirlwinds of extroverted activity! When Rhys has a plumbing emergency, he can hardly take his eyes off sexy plumber, Cole McDade, and through a genuine misunderstanding, Rhys asks Cole over for a cooked dinner only to find that Cole thought he was being asked to do another plumbing job. Cole is equally enchanted by Rhys but thinks himself too boring to interest Rhys. Rhys, on the other hand, is aware of how extra he can be and worries he’s scaring Cole off.

This a genuinely warmhearted single-dad / blue-collar romance with two guys who each worry they won’t measure up. There is no game playing (other than boardgames!) and no big miscommunication. The scenes with Sammy are lovely and tender, with Cole worrying that he won’t be good with children. He needn’t worry, his affectionate dog is a huge hit with Sammy! I liked this and the next in the series, Hot Conduit, a lot and I plan to explore more by this author. 🎧 I find voice actor Dylan Rockwell overperforms his lines but it’s not dealbreaker. He has a pleasant, compelling voice, he just needs to dial things back a little.
