En Fuego
Marshall Ramirez isn’t looking to fall in love, but from the moment firefighter Brad Flannery walks through the doors of Marsh’s veterinary clinic, he’s smitten. Marsh treats Fuego, the cat Brad rescued from a house fire, and convinces Brad to take her on as a foster—along with the three kittens Marsh helps her deliver. What Marsh really wants, though, is for Brad to keep him, too.

Not even Fuego and the kitties could save this story for me! I just finished reading a fabulous book and I think it was probably a bad idea to jump into another read so quickly, En Fuego didn't cut it and paled in comparison, unfortunately. I won't even mention the peeves that popped up which can go either way for me. Its not all bad, cute at times and I'm sure other readers will enjoy this much more than I did.

A veterinarian and a firefighter meet and bond over some kitties. It was fine but not very memorable. I read it yesterday and I already forgot both MC's names.

2.5 stars for the story -- extra 0.5 stars for the cats
I agree with what Vio said.
Despite Fuego (the orange tabby cat) and her kitties, I found this story lack of punch and rather forgettable. I didn't feel anything for the two guys -- and don't get me started on that shower solo jerk-off scene, which was done by the 46-year-old Marsh. I skimmed most of the sex scenes as well (yawn!).
There was an attempt to raise the pulse of this story, when but it got flat down again since what came next was, well, sugary stuffs. At least when the story finished, I only encountered one "baby" as term of endearment. Thank God for small favors.
So, story wise, I could only give it 2.5 stars. But I am willing to raise extra 0.5 stars for all the scenes with the cats. They're quite detailed and I was so in love with Fuego (mommy cat!) -- and I remembered my own experience when handling my mother's cat who was delivering her four babies, and I had to watch them all by myself since my little sister could only screamed in panic at that time (hey, we were teens!). I'm a sucker that way. Sorry for rambling on my personal story there ^^

Brad, a firefighter comes stumbling into Marsh's vet clinic with a tabby cat that was injured in a fire.
Brad is a big ol softie and stays with the now named Fuego while she gives birth to three kitties and takes them all home.
The two men develop a relationship and it's cute and sweet but nothing really different, just a nice story.
I could have done without the constant need to mention the dominate stuff, I didn't quite get why it was in the story, so Brad is more of a bottom? So what? It wasn't kinky or D/s in my opinion, but it just kept getting hammered home how dominant Marsh is etc....I just didn't see the point.
It had the inevitable things that happen when one of the MC's is a firefighter, but no conflict or angst, just a cute cat family and their humans.

A quick warm and fuzzy read about a veterinarian and a firefighter. Under a hundred pages, two cute boys kissing on each other, just a splash a angst when MC firefighter is injured on the job and throw in a mama kitty and her three babies and it's all good as far as I am concerned.
It's not going into the hall of fame or anything, but it is a fun read and I recommend it to anyone wanting a remedy to their M/M sweet tooth without anything too heavy to upset their stomach.

I firmly believe that with firefighters and cats you just can't do wrong! xD Add to this a little of an age difference - and that's just my favorite kind of story )))
I'm not a big fan of angst, so I for one was happy there wasn't lots of it here. I really liked Marsh and Brad's conversations and their getting to know each other, the cats were just too adorable - I enjoyed this short story very much!

Um. Drawing a bit of a blank here.
I kept waiting for something to happen. But for the longest time nothing did. They met, dated, had sex. Throw in a handful of cats. Actually the cat birthing, brief as it was, might have been the most interesting part of this story and even that did not particularly stir me.
Eventually we got some drama. And even then it was a smooth ride. Where in reality obstacles are almost unavoidable, here everyone was nice and accommodating. The, er, falling out just made me boggle. Seriously? Over that? And it was resolved within maybe three pages.
I just… To be honest I got bored. When a story consists of nothing but two people falling in love they need to have strong or lovable characters or at least some other source of tension. It’s not that easy to pull off successfully, but I’ve seen it done. In this case I just couldn’t really care for either guy. The single viewpoint did not exactly help, nor did the fact that they sounded exactly the same, despite coming from quite different backgrounds and with a large age gap between them.
On the bright side, nothing here really offended or annoyed me.
One thing, maybe, a mild one. It generally irritates me when an author uses the wrong tense (even if done consistently). For example, “That is when he knew” or “There’s a subject he didn’t like to address.” I can almost understand it with something like “God knows he was tired” – since if the author is religious then god knowing might be considered a fact that supersedes time. For my reading enjoyment, however, this is distracting since it sounds plain wrong. If a story is written in past tense, it really should stick to that unless entire segments switch tense for some reason. Just my nitpicky opinion, as always.

I love how Marshall and Brad meet up. I like the idea of the ambulance guys taking Brad in with the cat. We can see from beginning what a caring and nurturing person Marsh is. He is able to give care without being overbearing.
A sweet story with a great wrap up at the end.

This is a sweet light romance between Marshall a veterinarian and firefighter Brad. Their romance is light and develops a bit to fast. Brad was a cute nice guy. I liked them both, nice couple.

5 paws not stars lol. What a cute love story. The cats where the best part. I'd hope the characters have a fruitful life together, and Fuego and Chaplin live forever past nine lives!!
