A
gorgeous new sexual awakening romance with sizzling first times, snarky British
banter, and off-the-charts chemistry.
Life doesn’t always pan out as you expect. When it explodes in my face, literally,
an old friend offers me a place to heal and a job renovating the kitchen of
Burlington’s coolest wine bar.
V&V is a chill fest. Living above it should be a blast. But I’m not built
to be a social butterfly. Not anymore. I’m a damaged man.
And I’m not its target clientele.
At least, I think I’m not until I come face to face with the most beautiful
human I’ve ever seen. Joss is the new chef and my roommate. He has hair like
spun gold and it’s as pretty as the rest of him. Crystal blue eyes. Megawatt
smile.
I can’t stop staring. Or thinking about him. He chases my nightmares away. And
when he spots my crush a mile off, his solution to our chemical attraction
blows my mind.
An experiment of sorts. Science. Is this sexual exploration or sex education?
Either way, Joss is only here for the summer. He’s leaving.
I can’t fall in love with him.
I can’t.
Shame my foolish heart never got the memo.
Wildfire is a heartfelt MM friends-to-lovers, hurt/comfort, stand-alone romance
set in Sarina Bowen’s World of True North, with a brooding lumbersexual, a
wild-hearted chef, sweet angst and all the Vermont food.
Content warning: contains mentions of depression, ADHD, suicidal ideation, and
PTSD recovery.

This is book one in a new series of the Vino & Veritas family. I am SO
excited to be back in Burlington with this wonderful group of people who have
been drawn together in Sarina Bowen's world but brought to life by a group of
very talented authors – and Garrett Leigh is most definitely the perfect person
to start us off. Bringing together friends from London and Cornwall, reminding
us of past adventures and swirling them into this world again... do read Heartscape
if you want Tanner and Jax's story!
Joss is a talented chef, but a disturbed childhood, a late diagnosis of ADHD
and non-verbal Tourette’s, and a belief that no one can really love him, has
meant that he had been a nomad for most of his adult life. He is persuaded to
come and set up the kitchen at Vino & Veritas and offered accommodation and
friendship, as well as a good salary whilst he stays. Little did he expect to
find a warm and accepting environment, nor a damaged soul of a roommate.
Kai is in need of solace; deeply affected by being at a fatal accident where he
was powerless to save anyone, he is staying with his friends above Vino &
Veritas. Most nights he ends up on the couch in their flat, but no judgment,
only support. At least during the day he is busy redoing the Vino & Veritas
kitchen.
These two fragile souls meet and whilst their story is not simple, it is clear
from day one that there is a link between them which has potential. Now they
have to get out from under the clouds and see whether they can live in
sunshine. For Kai, that starts with the consideration that he is maybe not as
straight as he had assumed, although his attraction to men is clearly much more
to do with the one he is sharing a flat with than anyone else.
I loved every bit of this book – I was totally immersed in the storyline, and
got no sleep until I had finished the last page... and then wanted more. I
cannot explain why it just worked so perfectly, but I suggest that you go and
find out. Thank you so much for this story, Garrett Leigh!

I'll start off by saying, I did not read the previous series that this is
related to and I didn't feel like I needed to to enjoy this book. I found it
interesting that the last few books I have read had PTSD and Tourette’s in them
and this book has both! Joss and Kai are just so amazing together. I love how
Joss helps Kai with his feelings and Kai doesn't even question what he feels,
he just goes with it. This is a raw, emotional book with lots of love and I
highly recommend it.
