Synopsis

One disaster bi single dad. One sexy plumber on a house call. One hot-as-hell romance….

Rhys

If I was a hot mess before becoming a single dad, my life’s pretty much an on-fire garbage can now.

Okay, maybe that’s a tad melodramatic—my bestie/baby momma/ex-girlfriend is still awesome, currently in the throuple of her dreams. And my kiddo Sammy’s amazing, albeit exhausting. I’m the one who’s too intense and rambling, too obsessed with random trivia, too liable to set dinner on fire. Essentially, too much for any relationship.

However, when a hottie plumber drops by to fix our toilet—thanks, Sammy—and gives me his number? My luck might just be turning around.

Cole

After my dad moved to a retirement community, he left me with the big, old house I grew up in and a whole lot of loneliness.

I thought by now I’d be settled down, but no one’s looking for the guy who likes long hikes with his dog, stargazing, and fixing shit around the house. They want fun, entertaining, flashy—not me.

Except when I give Rhys my private line for an emergency house call, I show up for the job to discover it’s a date. It seems like I might’ve met the one man on earth who’s just as interested as I am—if only we can find the guts to admit it.

Sweat Connection is a high heat, low angst M/M single dad romance with trivia nights, Star Wars rants, and light primal kink that reads as a standalone.

So sweet and so hot!

Sweat Connection is such a sweet-with-heat story and I loved it. Rhys is trying so hard to keep things together while he co-parents his son. He has a great relationship with his best friend, Kelsey, his son’s mother and his ex, but he wants to find someone who will love him and not leave him. Cole is lonely after his father moved out of the house they shared. He also wants to find a life partner but doesn’t think that anyone would be interested in the same things that he is.

After a bit of a misunderstanding that was pretty funny, these two really hit it off but they both suffer from a lack of confidence that anyone would ever want them for who they are. The connection they made with each other was quick and super-hot but it takes them a while to get past their confidence problems and finally talk to each other and reveal their true feelings.

If you’re looking for a hot story with no angst and a pretty cute kid, give this one a chance. There’s a great cast of secondary characters and at least a couple of them will get their own books. I’m looking forward to reading the next one in this series.
