When one reads the word “himbo” in a blurb, one is liable to think that the book will be sweet, fluffy and a light read- and while all these words do apply at some point to this particular work, the words “intense” “amazing” “i didn’t see that coming” also do apply!
The previously mentioned himbo is Lochlan, a firefighter who is best described as a golden retriever in human form for he has boundless energy and is just a ray of sunshine and happiness- it’s this nature that we see him find and adopt a dog from a house that’s on fire that he attends to.
In order to keep him at the fire house, Lochlan must take his new fur baby to a dog obedience school where he meets Dario- who despite being shy they become firm friends fast, which eventually leads to much more then friendship.
The content warning of domestic abuse must be noted- normally I don’t mention them in reviews, but in this case I do because while it is not on page, there is a few scenes that the reader will go “oh my!”
This is a great read and everything is handled beautifully and delicately and i’m looking forward to the next book in the series
