When I showed up at my roommate's work party, the last thing I expected was to find a man straight out of my dreams. But when the crowd parted and the fates aligned, there he was, waiting for me. Marcus St. James, president of ENN WorldWide News. Sexy and powerful, with a stare that could freeze you in place, Marcus was the perfect reward for securing a job at Mitchell & Madison, the best law firm in Chicago. To play with the big fish, however, one must become a big fish, and that's where my little white lie began.

Self-assured and playful, he’s never left wanting for suitors - but Bash isn’t looking for something permanent.

Story
I've been in love with my best friend since forever. Okay, fine. Like, kindergarten. It started out platonic, obviously, but then became.... Nope. Still platonic. The problem is that Parker Ellis has been straight since forever. And that makes it difficult to convince him that the two of us are meant to be together. And now, there's no point. All is lost. He's gone and gotten engaged to his high-school sweetheart - which means I have to grin and bear it, while pretending to be the happy, supportive best man, while he prepares to commit his life to a woman.

When I find out I inherited a bookstore and apartment on a small East Coast island, I jump at the chance for a new life. Turns out I’ve also inherited a sexy, tattooed guy who not only rents the space next to my store but my apartment too. Gideon. I wasn’t looking for a roommate, but it’s not like I can stay at Milo’s place while he’s banished to a hotel. According to Milo, we’re bestie goals. And if he doesn’t wear pants at home, who am I to complain?

I’m a SEAL. Or rather, I was. Retired at the grand old age of 38, I’m at loose ends. My best friend wants me to join his security team. I’m not sure I’m bodyguard material, but he needs someone to protect his kid brother. How hard can spoiled brat duty be? Somehow, I missed the part where former child star Danny Love went from dorky TV darling to all grown up and disturbingly attractive. All the gossip about his wild ways fails to mention that he’s trying hard to clean up his act.

My new stepbrother is insufferable. You'd think it wouldn't matter since I won't be here for long, but this guy gets under my skin like no one ever has. All-American, baby-faced, blue-eyed band dork and star soccer player. Everything about him is the picture of perfection—unlike me. I don't think Do Gooder knows I'm starting senior year late. And he definitely doesn't know why. I've got secrets I'm taking with me to the grave.

I spent college worrying about responsibilities and earning my teaching degree, so before graduation and moving to Atlanta with my best friend, Ross, I figure I deserve a little fun. I’ve never been with an older man, but the guy at the bar grabs my attention and doesn’t let go…for multiple rounds, all night long. The next day, when Ross introduces me to his dad, the last thing I expect is for him to be my hookup from the night before, in town from Atlanta for his son’s graduation. The best thing would be to pretend it never happened, which is easier said than done.

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

It started out as a little fun. When there was a man in my building on a hookup app, why not message him? Only we didn’t meet. We just texted - one night after the other, after the other. GoodWithHisHands was the perfect escape from my life, where pressure was always on my shoulders: my father’s expectations, the worry about my sister, Maddy, getting sick again, and her ex-husband, Ryder Lynwood, suddenly back and volunteering at the same hospital as me. I like talking to him, the same way I enjoy chatting with GoodWithHisHands. They weren’t supposed to be the same person.

Publisher's Summary
Ryan
Kind, caring, and protective. Those are the three qualities I’m looking for when it comes to my dream man. In a city as big as Chicago, you wouldn’t think he would be that hard to find, right?
Wrong. Sure, my boss found a super-sexy detective and my best friend fell madly in love with the most eligible bachelor around. But the only person I’ve met recently is a broody bad boy who saved me at a sketchy pub.
He’s grumpy, rude, and honestly, not that likeable at all. Hardly my “dream” guy.
So why can’t I stop thinking about him?
Jameson
I don’t do friendships. I don’t do relationships either. The very last thing I’m looking for in life is to fall in love and live happily ever after.
So saving some rich guy from losing his wallet is the last thing I want to do on a Friday night. Especially when he looks like someone who just stepped off the cover of GQ.
Fate seems to have other ideas, though, and every time I turn around, he’s there.
A wicked heat simmers between us, threatening to ignite, and though I’ve been trained to put out the flames, I can’t help but think: What’s the worst that could happen if I let this desire burn out of control?
Wicked Heat is book one of two in Ryan Carrigan and Jameson Clarke's story.

not sure if I will read the rest of the series
I normally like Ella's Frank books. I even reread several of her books including the series that this book is a spin-off of.... but I just don't know if I can get past the whiny, self pitting character Jamieson.
Half the book I wanted to slap him upside the head and tell him to get a life. He is not a character I can root for and want to see him grow and find his happily ever after.
Ryan is not much better. He chose this whiner over his friends who are good people (you know this from the orginal series) when Jamieson stomps out of an important charity event like a child that Ryan friends invited him to and makes a scene. I guess I don't understand why Ryan didn't defend his boss and friends when he went after him.
I am rambling now... I will just end that it is not her best work and I not sure at this point if I would waste a credit to listen to the next book in the series

Good story. Good narration.
This story had all the elements you can expect from an Ella Frank romance, a romantic connection that shouldn't work, plenty of steamy scenes, at least one pulse-pounding moment that shakes up the status quo, and a moral lesson.
I liked Jameson. I am still trying to get a feel for Ryan's personality. Half of the steamy scenes were interesting, and the other half were okay. I am really hard to impress in that category though. I like to see more personal connections than read well constructed erotic scenes. (Yes, that is a pretty good explanation of what it means to be demisexual.)
Charlie David has a pleasant voice, but he does tend to use unexpected pronunciations sometimes. Having grown up in the backwoods, I try to avoid passing judgement on how people pronounce certain words and names. Narration was good overall.
Yes, I will be reading/relistening to the whole series. Probably more than once.

Just love this Chicagoverse Ella Frank as created. I adored Ryan and Jameson's story. It was oozing with chemistry, UST, and that fun and flirty and hot connection this author always creates.

Who Saves Who?
Gah! I absolutely love books where the characters stick with you long after the last page. Even a week later after reading their story, I still had Ryan and Jameson rattling around in my head. I loved their story so much so, that I knew this was going to be a must listen when it came out. When I saw it was Charlie David, I couldn’t purchase this fast enough. Once again Charlie did a fantastic job bringing the characters that Ella writes to life. Charlie sucked me right back into their story as if it was brand new to me. He did such a wonderful job with the ups and downs, the sexy times, the action and all the moments in between. Ryan and Jameson’s story just drew me in and wouldn’t let go. I loved how they first met and how their relationship grew. We had previously met Ryan in The Prime Time series, and I was so excited when we found out he’d be getting his story. Ryan has such a huge heart. Jameson is such a complex man, and I love how Ryan wants to be so present for Jameson. Jameson tries to put out a gruff exterior, but it was wonderful seeing his heart soften towards Ryan. I loved how their relationship turned to more, and the steamy sexy times they shared. That first kiss…holy hotness!! Along the way I was ecstatic to visit with some of my favorite characters in Ella’s Chicagoverse. I’m super eager to see how part two of their story unfolds!

This book wad 1 hour and 57 minutes of wicked fun and enjoyment. Ryan and Jameson's story is through and through Ella Frank from start to finish.
There's not anything new about the plot but honestly I don't expect that having read 1000s of books. It works and is very well written which is what matters to me.
I absolutely love Charlie David's narration. He made Ryan and Jameson come alive and an extra dimension.

Expectations not met.
I am a fan of this author. However, some of the writing presented immature in this book. Well, the writing flowed well but the conversations with Ryan, Jude and Gabe were like listening to jr. high boys giggle and gossip. The descriptions if Jamison's feelings were redundant. J's constant self depreciation was annoying. Simply, I could not connect with any of the characters. This was almost a DNF but I hate leaving things unfinished.
I can't recommend this book but the author has many other books that are big recommendations.

O. M. G. This book was sooo good. I love how the characters are brought together. It was definitely not what I expected. Idk why since I’ve been through so many of the Ella/Brooke series. It’s not all sunshine and loveydovey and Ryan and Jameson are a bit different from their previous characters but just as amazing. I can’t wait for the second book.

4.5 Stars!
Wicked Heat is book 1 in the Chicago Heat series and what a great introduction it is!
We met Ryan in the Primetime series as Alexander Thorne's PA extraordinaire, and now we get to know him a bit better. He's fairly down-to-earth, efficient, and sweet. Other than having had to help his parents and brother when his brother was sick growing up, he's had an idyllic life. Jameson's life hasn't been easy, from growing up on Chicago's south side, to his parents and sister being drug addicts and his sister running away, to his best friend dying in the line of duty, and on top of it all, being evicted from his apartment and having to find a new place to live in. There's a spark from the first time they meet, but Jameson is not the most trusting of guys, so it takes a twist of fate—Ryan renting a room in his apartment, and Jameson turning in to see it, and then Ryan nursing Jameson back to health after a nasty flu—for Jameson to start opening up to Ryan.
Ryan and Jameson are opposites in almost every way, but they fit well together. Their chemistry is off the charts and I loved them together.
There's some angst, and I thought for a second Ms. Frank was going to leave me hanging until book 2, but thankfully the book ends on a good, hopeful note and I loved that last part so much (especially that last sentence), even if I was tearing up just before it, so now it's just a matter of waiting for Wicked Flame. Overall, a riveting start for Ryan and Jameson's story, with some noteworthy cameos by Xander Thorne and Sean Bailey. Definitely recommendable!
Charlie David's narration was great as always. His voice is pleasant and he did an amazing job bringing Jameson and Ryan to life for me. Super recommendable!

Jameson Clarke is the new guy at the fire department (the same one that Kieran recently left) he is grumpy, rude and no interested in making friends, his background makes him hard to trust and he think he is not worthy. I absolutely love how this two meet and it was fate that they continued to meet again and again.
This is a grumpy/sunshine, opposites attracted, closer proximity romance. Jameson is in denial of his feelings and since meeting Ryan he starts to open a little bit. Ryan can’t stop thinking about Jameson even if he is definitely not Prince Charming. I love how they start with friendship and later they take the next step, it’s was inevitable their attraction was really strong. I like that this book didn’t end on a cliffhanger, it was a HFN and this two would need to trust each other for their relationship developed.
This two were smoking hot together and have a great chemistry! I highly recommended!

GQ and the Grump
GQ and the Grump drew me in and I couldn't wait to turn each page.
Oh Ryan, I have been waiting for you to find your "one", and the Grump that is Jameson is so perfect for you. This book should be called GQ and the Grump like on Ella's teasers haha.
They just fit so well - opposites really do attract. Ryan was kind of like a puppy, wanting Jameson's time. I don't mean that in a demeaning way, just in a way that he knows what he wants and he is going after it,and fighting for it - hard.
Jameson, well I just don't have words enough for my feelings for him. I hurt, I loved, I wanted more.
Now, we know this is going to be a bit of a cliffy going in as it i book 1, but it wasn't too bad, it just wanted me leaving more, needing to know what happens next with our lovelies.
Was great seeing more of characters in their world that we have come to adore. and am looking forward to book 2
It was good to see Charlie David back in Ella Frank world, and he really brought these guys to life

Ohhh I'm really interested in Jameson's back story or more scenes with his younger sister sounds like a bit of dark trauma/drama there. It was basically serendipity with Jameson and Ryan constantly running into with each other. But Jameson doesn't "do" relationships, but I'm sure Ryan is going to change his mind. Look forward to the conclusion.
Narrator Charlie David did an excellent job with all of the characters.

Ryan and Jameson
Wow, Ella and Charlie equals absolute perfection. Ryan is helping a mate when Mitch accosts him at a bar, Jameson the Firefighter steps in to save the day. Fun to watch as they keep running into one another and end up being room-mates. Sparks fly and can't wait for the next in this wonderful universe
