High Alert Paperback – August 8, 2021

I love this author’s books! I will read anything she puts out there. This is another great low angst story about two guys who have known each other forever and have both been afraid to act on it. It’s really sweet and also has a healthy dose of forgiveness thrown in towards another character l. A great book and one I would read again!

Life can be dangerous as you reunite with old friends!School friends have grown up and become even hotter!Perception changes...for the better.A beautiful romance blended with humor and characters you're going to love..

This was a nice story. Ross and Dan have basically been in love with each other for a long time and now that Dan has moved home they both spent a good amount of time scared to try and take that step. There was a lot that went on in this book and it feels there are parts of the story that weren't finished or nicely tied up. Once Dan and Ross finally admitted their feelings for each other I felt their relationship slotted together perfectly and the rest of the story was just an exploration of their lives. In the end the story was nice but it's not anything to write home about.I received a copy of this book and am giving an honest review

I adored Ross and Dan’s story! Every time I pick up one of Becca Seymour’s books, I want to go to Australia! (I also want to adopt goats, but that’s another thing all together!) she manages to take the good, the bad, and the snakes; and turn it into an unforgettable character in its own right.

This was an action packed, slow burn romance between Ross and his older brother’s best friend Dan. Amidst dealing with a great deal of natural disaster/ weather events, they finally accept the years long feelings that they’ve had for each other. Bonus points for the goats. ;)

A sweet, small town romanceHigh Alert is a slow burn romance about two friends who were secretly pining for each other for a long time. Dan, a carpenter has just recently returned to his small town after many years of being away. Trying to recover from a break up that took its toll on him, Dan meets Ross a school librarian and also the brother of his best friend. He last met him 2 years prior during his last visit. For Ross it has been years but his crush on his brother's best friend Dan has not wavered. Seeing him again only fanned the sleeping embers of emotion into a full blown blaze of love. Circumstances and events has forced the both of them to look and analyze their feelings. All through it all, they must decide is it worth it accept and confess their love for each other or just to forever hold their silence.The story combines perfectly a slow burn romance between two mature individuals with just the right amount of sweet moments, a dash of angst and action scenes. The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable and the development of their relationship from being friends to lovers was done really well. It felt quite natural. The banter between Dan and Ross, their dialogue and interactions from their snarky quips to their quiet moments is just wonderful.The appearance of a person from Ross' past that has caused him pain before was dealt in a mature manner and has not been overblown. Seeing Ross slowly form a friendship with his former tormentor would've been off but the author was able to convey the sincerity and authenticity of the growth of that relationship quite nicely.Overall, High Alert by Becca Seymour is a well-written, engaging medium hear romance with a likeable set of characters and a happily ever after that is well earned.I received an ARC of this book and I have chosen to publish my fair and honest review.

This was a sweet story with plenty of emotions and love. The characters were wonderful. The romance was sweet and sexy. There was plenty of drama and suspense. This was an entertaining book.

Was there drama? Yes. But so much love and sweetness with two dudes who took way too long to finally took the plunge into love. I enjoyed the little kids and the baby goat kids too. S good read go check it out.

I loved this book!! I feel bereft now that I’ve finished it, I wasn’t ready. My heart was in my throat so often as I expected disaster, but it was so beautiful and real. I knew this was going to be my sort of book and was not in any way disappointed!

This book was a great read with a very descriptive way of writing. Set in Australia amid amid bushfires and floods. Ross and Dan have been friends since forever since Dan is Ross his brohers best friend. Ross has hada crush on Dan forever. After Dan returns to town their frienddhip rekindles and turns into so much more. This is a sweet slow-burn, low angst, friends to lovers read with unruly goats and old pains laid to rest in the mix. If you like those this is your book.

A gorgeous Australian country story.❤️A great start as Ross has a goat which has a fetish for eating nickers, and that's only a small part of Bessie's antics. He was looking forward to having his friend Dan return home again after 2 years.Humor straight away when both remeet again had me laughing at their teasing.Dan was 35yrs, where into the carpentry business, and was to start retraining as a firefighter ahead of the fire season.Ross was a school librarian and never thought he'd see his childhood bully back in town.This has feelings for both of them as friends wanting to move to being more but afraid to broach the topic in this slow romance.It's not long before our Aussie summers have an effect on the lands as bushfires reak havoc. Dangers puts a new perspective on things for both characters. Ross as a past situation he has to deal with at school from the moment Nick shows up. This is an all perfect story of the summer season for the firefighters and other heroes doing there thing.Dramas at the ending but all works out for them in a HEA finish.

This book is fluffy, reads quickly. My favorite trope is my brother's best friend.In this book, the characters have doubts about their feelings developing between them which I found a bit childish and could be resolved quickly with minimal conversation and a touch of bravado. MC2 has some fears of falling in love with his best friend's brother and losing his friends if they don't work out, but manages to get past that easily enough.The context, the heavy emotions and the lack of sleep make the main characters more emotional, more human, more raw. The second job is realistic and refreshing. The adrenaline is real and the nervousness is high.I take one star off because despite everything, I feel like I missed a whole chapter about Nick, what was he whispering to his husband when he found out that MC1 AND MC2 were a couple? And finally what was MC1's brother feeling in the hospital? Will he get his own book? I sure hope so....The ending of the book was way too rushed. Like the author said ok I finished the main plot and now I have to deliver the book quickly. A lot of missing development, a rush of information. MC1 says he's not ready to bring Nick back into his life, but invites him to a dinner with his family? Like What?Finally, it's all in the context and setting that is its greatest asset and makes this book refreshingly different from other brother's best friend books.

I read the short story and loved and the expanded version is no disappointment. A great Aussie firefighter story- very enjoyable.
