Packing Heat
Dark and brooding firefighter Brad Archer has spent months denying his attraction to his roommate, police officer Gavin Connolly. Gavin is just the kind of guy he tall, tough, and buff enough to actually handle Brad’s big size and rough nature.
To hide his real feelings Brad holds the handsome, seemingly straight cop at arms' length until a shooting at work leaves Gavin a little too vulnerable to ignore. What starts out as a simple attempt to comfort his roommate blows up into something wild, sexual, and wholly unexpected when Gavin wants more from Brad than a strong firefighter’s shoulder to lean on.
The sexual magnetism drawing the two of them together forces secrets to be revealed, and though the sex is mind-blowing it may not be worth weathering the storms their relationship could stir up. In order to protect him, Brad realizes he loves Gavin enough to let him go. The problem is—the stubborn cop may not let him.

Kele Moon
25 books2,615 followersA freckle-faced redhead born and raised in Hawaii, Kele Moon has always been a bit of a sore thumb and has come to enjoy the novelty of it. She thrives on pushing the envelope and finding ways to make the impossible work in her story telling. With a mad passion for romance, she adores the art of falling in love. The only rules she believes in is that, in love, there are no rules and true love knows no bounds.
So obsessed is she with the beauty of romance and the novelty of creating it, she’s lost in her own wonder world most of the time. Thankfully she married her own dark, handsome, brooding hero who has infinite patience for her airy ways and attempts to keep her grounded. When she leaves her keys in the refrigerator or her cell phone in the oven, he’s usually there to save her from herself. The two of them now reside in Florida with their three beautiful children, who make their lives both fun and challenging in equal parts—they wouldn’t have it any other way.

Dear Kele Moon,
You should totally write more MM!
No really, why don't you write more MM?
Don't get me wrong, I like your MF....and let's face it, I don't like a lot of MF. But I like yours.
But I'd like you more if you wrote more MM...
Because, your MM...it's good stuff!
Sincerely,
J
PS - Packing Heat was well....packed with heat! It was short and I could have read more about these two. But dark and broody Brad boy was he something else in the bedroom. WOWZERS!

“Are you trying to seduce me, Mr. Archer?”
“Absolutely. I plan to wine and dine you properly; then I’m going to drag you home and take total fucking advantage of you.”
I loved it! An emotional, funny, hot read, an awesome love story.
Brad and Gavin are roommates. Brad is a firefighter, Gavin is a cop, and they are secretly longing for each other for months, until once on a drunken night… Not so special, you would think, but it is!
Packing Heat balances between serious and light perfectly, with well-drawn, distinguishable, and delectable characters, drama, doubts, problems, laugh-out-loud dialogues, devastatingly hot sex scenes, and a really sweet epilogue – all on only a couple of pages.
Brad remembered with stunning clarity the reason why he kept his distance from Gavin. He was too fucking handsome. The contrast between his black hair and light eyes was startling. His face was both beautiful and masculine with his hard jaw and full lips. And his body… Jesus.
Then there was Brad - more butch than Gavin, always in charge, no-apologies-for-being-gay Brad. With dark hair and eyes black as sin, the sexy battalion chief had been the subject of Gavin’s fantasies since the first time he’d laid eyes on him.
Brad demands honesty, and he is not into games, which makes things much easier. They fall for each other quickly. I loved the cuff-scene: tears, laughter, intimacy, and sex in one scene! It’s truly amazing!
Before this moment, Brad wouldn’t have believed he could tell that story and end up laughing a few minutes later. Gavin was like a balm for his soul, and Brad wanted to kiss him for it.
My favorite quotes.

** 4 “sinfully sexy” STARS **
“Somehow the two of them had collided in the darkness, two lost souls who’d been alone and craving something that was raunchy and deviant and wholly erotic in a way Gavin would have never comprehended before this moment.”
Brad Archer can feel the disaster waiting to happen in the morning.
Brad had been doing his best to keep his distance since Gavin moved in with him a few months ago, to ignore the way this gorgeous man’s been walking around the apartment like an ice-cream cone ready to get licked nice and slow…
Last night, he should have taken Gavin to his room and forced him to sleep. He should have shut up when Gavin asked if he thought him attractive. He shouldn't have said “yes” and he shouldn’t have looked into his eyes while doing so. And he certainly shouldn’t have kissed him…let alone do all the other stuff that made his blood boil with just the memory of it.
When the booze wears off, Gavin will hate him for taking advantage of his drunken state. Now, everything is ruined.
“The fire burnt too bright when they were together, and it was impossible for Brad to stay away from the heat. He was drawn to it –to Gavin– like a moth to a flame.”
Gavin Connolly can feel the disaster waiting to happen in the morning.
Gavin had been silently lusting after Brad for years. This brooding and dark man had been the main focus of all his fantasies since the first time he he’d laid eyes on his rough face, and Gavin had jumped at the first opportunity to get close to him and almost begged Brad to rent one of his rooms.
Last night, for the first time since he’s met Brad, Gavin has succeeded in getting a reaction –and what a freakin’ delicious reaction that was!– from him, with the help of a little liquid courage!
When the sun rises tomorrow, Brad will kick Gavin out of the apartment for throwing himself at him like a slut, and Gavin will not only be alone anymore, he will be alone AND homeless. Now, everything is ruined.
OVERALL: A firefighter and a police officer doing the dirty is enough reason to pick this book up guys, c'mon! Trust me. My only problem was the use of the word “PRICK” (UGGGGGGH!) instead of c*ck, and damn that seriously irritated me! Other than that, PERFECTION...

Erm...I'd review this, but I need to go ice my ovaries first because OMG!
The perfect short and SUPER hawt read to tide me over. Kele Moon never does me wrong. Why did it take me this long to read this delicious book again? *kicking self*
March 1, 2015
This is a shorty but it is-
Kele Moon can seriously write, and her sex scenes are off the charts. Although she has a loyal fan base, I don't think she gets as much recognition as she should. I've yet to read a bad book from her. Just throwing that out there.
Expectations about the novella- one thing I think readers should know going into it is- this is a short sexy read. This is not as long nor as character driven as her other stories (that's not to say there's no story because there is). If you're going in expecting that you may feel slightly shorted. Now if you go in expecting a short erotic- then you'll enjoy it.
I was in the mood for some smutty greatness and this hit the spot for me- cause it really doesn't get much hotter than a fireman and cop.

***4 Dirty, Filthy HOT Stars***
This was a fantastically dirty, filthy, aggressively HOT, testosterone fueled book. I loved every second of it. I'm typically not a fan of reading these short standalone novellas, as I usually find I just can't connect to the plot and characters. By the time I get there, the novella is over and I'm feeling unsatisfied...but NOPE, not here. Kele Moon has managed to pack quite the punch in under 100 pages!
Looking for a quick and raunchy afternoon read that gives you Alpha MC's, smoking hot sex, and even a bit of vulnerability? Look no further...PICK UP THIS BOOK!
Thank you Kele Moon for making my Sunday morning quite pleasant indeed!

This short story is absolutely amazing! Gorgeous characters, sizzling, hot sex and a beautiful development of their relationship, even though the story isn't very long.
Gavin Connolly is a 34 year old bisexual cop who has the hots for Brad Archer, 38 year old firefighter hunk and LGBT youth counselor. Gavin even talked Brad into taking him in as his roommate when the older guy was looking for a roomie to share the costs. However, Brad carefully keeps his distance now and doesn't ever approach Gavin in their apartment, even when hot cop Gav walks around naked with just a towel around his waist.
It takes a shooting incident at work that leaves Gavin shattered for Brad to finally sit down with his roommate and console him - leading to amazing sex and a complicated friendship/relationship that Brad doesn't want to lead anywhere, because of his sad past and his lack of trust in the men he sleeps with.
But Gavin, being a stubborn Irish Catholic guy from a huge family, doesn't let Brad off the hook that easily - even resorting to hand cuffs if that's what it takes to get his favorite firefighter to sit down and listen.
I absolutely loved everything about this story. The physical attraction, the mind-blowing sex, the drama (which didn't feel artificial at all), the emotions - and I especially loved the beautiful prose that turned a hot sex scene into a piece of creative writing art ;-)
Absolutely great!
5 stars and a favorite!

3.5 Heat Packing Stars!
There is no denying Kele Moon can bring it. *AHEM* yep you might need a cold drink for this one! This is 2 hot alpha men...firefighter and cop...doesn't that just seem like the perfect wet dream combination?
Well, Gavin and Brad are roomies. One gay, one straight...or is he? The book opens with some hard drinking and a drunk Gavin having a bad day. While Brad notices his hot roomie, he would never cross the line, that is unless said drunk roomie climbs on your life! Shut the front door...WHAT?!!!
Well, Gavin isn't so straight! How does one miss this on their "gaydar?" OH well, doesn't matter because from this moment on, it is ON! Brad and Gavin are perfectly matched and they are hot! There is little drama. There is little story. The book is quick as the relationship is instant.
I guess I just would have wanted some more...like 200 more pages of them!

3 1/2 Stars - Yay, glad I impulse picked this naughty so sweet M/M novel. Quickly done fun with “sinfully sexy and buff men”
A friend, Jan (her review) was reading this...
Sounded like a easy to read M/M. The authors, Kele Moon, warning note in the book-blurb ~ “This is an erotic gay romance about a cop and and a firefighter doing very naughty things to each other. Only for readers who like their men big, buff and sinfully sexy.” ~ made me immediately deciding to try and download.
**********************************************
« Dark and brooding firefighter Brad Archer has spent months denying his attraction to his roommate, police officer Gavin Connolly. Gavin is just the kind of guy he likes: tall, tough, and buff enough to actually handle Brad's big size and rough nature. »
Roommates (grownup men, passed 34 years - really?) with a sizzling hørny thing for each other. One openly gay as well as a tough big hard top. One charming supposed to be a straight guy. — You get the storyline?
Don't forget, gay (romantic or maybe just horny) courtship isn't as complicated as homo-straight. Here it is bang on and no fuss. Can't but smile and like. ...But it that really true? If it is that easy I just wish we hetro could learn something.
Not a romance with a storyline to remember for longer time than when you write your good-enough review, but in every way mostly fun when reading. — I liked the way it started, the speed and the grand end. Yeah, these characters are really two big hot sweeties. — In it's own way is Packing Heat well worth some book time. ... My time this time anyway.

“These games, they’re straight-people games. Playing coy, pretending to be something you’re not. It’s not necessary. I’ve got a dick. I’m single and I enjoy using it. When a hot guy asks me to fuck him, I’l usualy say yes.”
‘Gavin found himself spread-eagle on the bed, his cheek resting against the cool sheets with all of Brad’s weight on him. His breathing was strained because Brad was one massive firefighter, but Gavin didn’t care. He tilted his head to the soft caress of kisses running from his pulse point, over the curve of neck, and then trailing to the back of his shoulder blade.
“’S good,” Brad mumbled breathlessly, his voice heavy and sated with sex. “I’m keeping you.”

Nice and short hot read between *as the note says* two big, buff and sinfully sexy men.
They did get on my nerves a few times with :
"Gavin topped like a bottom" as if it bottom was a bad thing.
"These games, they're straight-people games. Playing coy, pretending to be something you're not. It's not necessary. I've got a dick. I'm single and I enjoy using it..."
"So you are saying ..."
"Dating woman fucked you up..."
Is this what they think about us?!

Opening Line: I'm a big advocate for gay rights. I'd vote for gay marriage if it ever came up on the ballot."
Well this was a fine little erotic romance. My first Kele Moon story but definitely not my last, there’s just so much to like here. Well written with memorable characters, smoking hot love scenes, just the right amount of dirty talk to make it interesting and for a novella enough plot and back story to hold it together and really give you a feel for the characters other then just who likes to bottom.
I also tend to like my M/M with manly men and Packing Heat gave me that and how, with two very alpha, very masculine, very sexy men in uniform. Sheesh.
Actually for such a smut filled short story I was surprised by the depth of character we got. Brad’s horrific outing as a teenager, fear of commitment and unique sexual hang-ups were definitely a bonus and Gavin’s admission of “The older he got the more he leaned toward the gay side of bisexual” just made me realize that dating is confusing no matter what your orientation.
Police officer Gavin Connolly is shitfaced. A recent shooting at work has left him with some unexpected leave and now he’s got too much time to think. Too much time to worry about the kid he shot and way too much time to ponder how sexy he finds his roommate. Yeah Brad, his openly gay, gorgeous, firefighter roommate. He’s had a thing for Brad for years. I mean its why he moved in with him in the first place except Brad has never shown the slightest bit of interest. Tonight’s going to be different though, Gavin’s had just the right amount of too much too drink and is also just stressed enough that he’s stopped caring about the consequences. Tonight he’s going to act on the sexual tension that’s been building for months. Sure he may get rejected but he might also get what he’s been dreaming about too.
Brad Archer can’t believe that his seemingly straight roommate has just launched himself onto his lips and into his lap. Now he remembers why he keeps his distance from Gavin, the guys too f-ing handsome for his own good. But his patience only goes so far and months of watching Gavin strut around in a towel have taken him too the limit, if that’s how Gavin wants to play so be it.
"You want it from a man? You’re gonna get it the way I like it. Let go of your dick or go find yourself a girlfriend.”
Yeah this is one hot and naughty little read. There isn’t time for any real story development instead we focus more on what happens after the roomies take their relationship to the next level. Gavin just assumes there’s a future for them and is more then willing to come out. Brad on the other hand has some series issues from his past to deal with and only sees this as a fling especially since Brad is Bi. My favourite scene would have to be when Gavin handcuffs Brad to the bed and forces him to give up control and trust him. It’s kinda heartbreaking actually but also sexy as hell.
The I love you’s are fast coming but still plausible and the epilogue; getting to see their HEA at work in the future was just the icing on the cake. Cheers.

2.5 stars.
I'm currently obsessed with Buck and Eddie from 9-1-1. At this point, I have basically overdosed on #Buddie fanfiction, and I'm STILL craving a friends-to-lovers romance featuring two firefighters.
Scouring through the offerings on Goodreads caused my eyes to cross, and I failed to realize - until I started reading, naturally - that only one lead in Packing Heat was a firefighter. The other was a cop. Boo. Although to be honest, I liked the cop better.
Alas, the cop-firefighter pairing didn't sink the book for me. Really, there wasn't much to sink since Packing Heat is PWP. I also failed to realize this until I started reading. But I'm not going to complain because, well, smutty is as smutty does. The story didn't provide the substance that I wanted, but it was a deliciously dirty entrée with a bit of emotion on the side.
Guess I’m off to watch Buck and Eddie fan videos. In the meantime, feel free to send any recommendations for quality firefighter romances that teem with feels and bring the heat!

P-O-R-N does not spell P-L-O-T
It's porn. No point continuing past the first fuck...
I really liked the first half of the book. It was friends-to-lovers and the fucking was kinda hot. But it should have ended right there with a nicely wrapped unrealistic HEA. But noooo...the guys had to start acting like teenagers and I no longer found the fucking hot or enjoyable. Its porn with an unsuccessful attempt at a plot.

This gets five stars for the scorching hotness only. Minus one star because of the light childish drama and the boo hoo towards the end. But I'm a sap for happy endings so I loved the epilogue.

Short version because I really have to sleep... I fucking loved this. I feel a Kele Moon bender coming on.
I have a bone to pick with the PWP label. The sex and intimacy is the plot. It is the character development, and not in a shallow way.
I love PWP but in my opinion this book is not.

After reading:
I was expecting something more... complex, I think. As far as I can tell there was not plot here, which is the main reason for my cutting down a star.
Still, I cannot say I didn't enjoy the story, because it was both well-written and the characters were likeable. What's more, I really liked the sex, which was, quite frankly, scorching hot. And yet, for such a short story the amount of sex scenes was definitely too excessive. I got a serious case of sex scene overdose - another star down.
All in all, that was a nice read, not unforgettable, no, but still quite enjoyable.

Hot damn. That was hot, hot, hot. They've been pining for each other for months. Aaawww.. So sweet.
I think I like it more if it's cop x firefighter couple. I need to find more of this.

I bought this because it was on sale for $.99, and it had better than average reviews.
I was ultimately disappointed. It was nowhere as good as what I thought it was going to be.
Silver lining? It was less than a dollar.

Absolutely loved this!!!
Uniformed hunks, fantastic hot sex and Jesus Christ - they actually TALKED about problems almost right away after said problems arose! Well, not without help from the cuffs and Gavin's insistence, but still! Usually the big misunderstanding, that got dragged on dosens of pages frustrates me to no end, so here I was happy it's been resolved quickly and efficiently,
And the epilogue! I love it! I really love seeing the characters after some years had passed and enjoying their established HEA and here it was a perfect example.

That is a fitting title, it was hot, hot, hot! For such a short story, there was quite a lot packed in there. I could have kept reading, I liked the brooding Brad and Gavin was such a great mix of adorable and silent strength. I didn't want it to be over.

Sweet, delicious porn with a dash of friends-to-lovers/OFY plot.
