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.

I LOVED this. Such great characters that jump right off the page and stay with you for a long time. There were some things about it that kind of bugged me a bit - like the way that, despite being from Griff's pov, the author sort of goes all omniscient on us at times and describes Griff looking at people with his gray eyes or talking about his 'canon' etc. Also some of the way the guys talk to one another is at times really base - and not in a hot, 'good' way either.But....despite these things... I just loved it, I coudn't help myself, I read it and then read it again. I adored Griff so damned much, and Dante. And lets be honest - the sex is so hot. I mean really hot. This is one of the sexiest books I've read in a long time. Yes, sometimes the characters say things that make me think 'do people really talk like that?' but I've been reading Cameron Dane for long enough to put that to one side if I like a book.The other thing I loved about this book was the warmth it held, I just want to hang out with Griff and Dante all the time, they're brilliant. I can't wait for the sequel to this. It's different and refreshing and kind of raw, in the best way, and it grabbed me by the balls - so to speak - and didn't let go
