Guilty Pleasures 
 I really loved this book. It has it all....fireman, passion, humor, and an amazing love story to tie it all together. 
 Griff and Dante are more than just good friends, they are like brothers. Griff has been accepted as another member of Dante's family for years. This adds another layer of depth to the story as Griff's feelings cross from the friend/brother stage into real desire and NOT brotherly-type love for Dante. 
 There are so many twists and turns in this story that you just have to keep turning pages to find out what is happening next. I really like when a book pulls you in and won't let go. 
 The background takes place after the attacks on 9/11. I thought the detail and the emotion that was written about what the fireman faced that day and the months and years to follow was exceptional. 
 This story is much more than just a tale between these two friends. There are so many important secondary plots and characters. It really opens your eyes to the struggles that an openly gay person and/or couple faces on a daily basis. 
 Oh, and I did I mention there was smoking hot fireman sex? One big plus about having characters that know each other so well, being together is that they already know how to push each other's buttons. It just makes the dialogue between them honest and real. The sex scenes were passionate and believable. There is never those make believe positions that leave you re-reading the scene again trying to figure it out like a sex induced game of Twister. 
 I loved the writing style of Damon Suede. This is the first book of his I have read, and I promise it will not be the last. He has a way to do more than just tell a great story, he takes you on a journey you never want to end.
