Synopsis

A gorgeous new sexual awakening romance with sizzling first times, snarky British banter, and off-the-charts chemistry.

Life doesn’t always pan out as you expect. When it explodes in my face, literally, an old friend offers me a place to heal and a job renovating the kitchen of Burlington’s coolest wine bar.

V&V is a chill fest. Living above it should be a blast. But I’m not built to be a social butterfly. Not anymore. I’m a damaged man.

And I’m not its target clientele.

At least, I think I’m not until I come face to face with the most beautiful human I’ve ever seen. Joss is the new chef and my roommate. He has hair like spun gold and it’s as pretty as the rest of him. Crystal blue eyes. Megawatt smile.

I can’t stop staring. Or thinking about him. He chases my nightmares away. And when he spots my crush a mile off, his solution to our chemical attraction blows my mind.

An experiment of sorts. Science. Is this sexual exploration or sex education?
Either way, Joss is only here for the summer. He’s leaving.
I can’t fall in love with him.

I can’t.

Shame my foolish heart never got the memo.

WILDFIRE is a heartfelt MM friends-to-lovers, hurt/comfort romance in the True North world, with a brooding lumbersexual, a wild-hearted chef, sweet angst and all the Vermont food.

Content warning: contains mentions of depression, ADHD, suicidal ideation, and PTSD recovery.

Review

A wonderful start to this series!

It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year (March 2021) since the Vino & Veritas series made its debut. I’m so happy that we get to go back to Vermont with the new In Vino Veritas books. Garrett Leigh and J.E. Birk are kicking things off with their releases on September 8th. My review of Counterpoint by J.E. Birk is coming later this week.

Garret Leigh’s writing slays me every time I read one of her books. She knows just how to pull at my heart and keep me coming back for more.

Wildfire is such a good book that I’m not sure I know what to say other than if you like MM romance you don’t want to miss this one.

Both MCs, Joss and Kai have issues but they seem to complement each other perfectly. Joss can help calm and comfort Kai when his memories get to be too much. Kai can help Joss focus when his ADHD grabs hold and won’t let go.

The descriptive writing had my mouth watering for the things that Joss made to be served at Vino & Veritas. Kai is the one who designed and installed the new kitchen and Joss says it the best laid out one he’s worked in. It’s a shame that he only plans to stay a few months. 😊

I can’t say enough good things about Garrett Leigh’s writing. If you are a fan of hers, you definitely don’t want to miss this book!
