Searching the Smoke for the Truth
West Hollywood has been rocked by a series of arsons in one night. The arsonist hit multiple apartment buildings by setting fire to a car in a car port. Just as Sharpe and Waler are beginning to piece some key clues together, a major fire impacts the city. Will this new fire distract them? Or will they be able to solve it as well?

There is a strong secondary plot as well that includes some major spoilers for the first book in the series. I didn’t like that storyline because it slowed things down with flashbacks and introduced some politics that hit wrong, especially after events in the last couple of months. On the other hand, I enjoyed the main storyline and all the great twists along the way. The characters are good but flat, and the male teenage humor doesn’t help them. There are some other laughs and great banter. I also enjoyed some scenes that were set close to me. Fans will enjoy this book, but I do wish it were stronger.

short and sweet, steamy and smexy!
I was gifted my copy of this book.

What this is, right, is a short, sweet, super smexy read, that hit all the spots that needed hitting for me, at this moment in time.

It is, quite simply, boy meets boy, they fall in love, the end! And I freaking loved it and the only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars was cos it was too flipping short and I wanted MORE of these two, I really did!

Neither Kyle nor Garrett is looking for anything permenant, but when Garrett comes to Kyle's apartment to fix his air con, all bets are off and the pair fall hard and fast and so flipping cutely, it was almost pure sugar.

This is set in the Brannon Brothers realm, and it's not necessary to read the first Brannon book, Heat Transfer, to follow this one. Garrett has connections with those boys, which is why it's in the series.

Short and sweet, smexy and steamy, a fabulous 4 star read.

I love the options to make boards for different things so you don't save craft ideas with cooking and so you can actually go back and find stuff. (1 more)
There are tons of ideas, more than most can think of or do in a lifetime.
My only pet peeve is that in order to access Pinterest you have to download the app or use the desktop website. It won't let you use your mobile browser & sometimes I don't have room for the app but would still like to browse without having to use a PC (0 more)
Love Pinterest!
A lot of ideas have saved me money and I am currently using it to plan my vow renewal as well as organize our apartment on a budget and they have tons of great ideas that I know will save me time and money. I highly recommend it. But know that you may find so much stuff you wont know what to do first and may not be able to complete all that you desire to if you have a short time frame. Also, always have a back up plan because everyone knows of the #PinterestFails LOL
