When handsome, Erico Morrelli tries to hire him away from a job he loves, Jay declines the restaurateur's offer, afraid of spending time with the town's playboy. Ashamed to tell his friends he's sick, Erico tries to run The Canoe on his own despite protests from his physician. When he collapses at work, Erico begins to re-evaluate his future. His attraction to the one man he knows he should stay away from haunts him. Can Erico invent a Recipe for Love or will he face his toughest challenge alone? Firehouse Heat Despite the eighteen year age difference, Sammy Lee wants his new boss, Assistant Fire Chief, Leo Burkowski. Living and working side by side at the firehouse several days a week is wearing on Sammy's control. Although Sammy is playing for keeps, Leo refuses to think of the relationship as anything more than a passing affair. Will the heat generated between the two men be enough to melt Leo's resolve, or will Sammy's hopes go down in a blaze of disappointment?
Cattle Valley Vol 8 Carol Lynne Books
Sometimes series begin to lose their glow after too many entries. Thankfully, Lynne's Cattle Valley is still going strong, likely because each novella features a new couple. Though this isn't the best, it is a strong entry to the soap opera.Recipe for Love
Jay was introduced several novellas ago when he came to Cattle Valley to escape an abusive boyfriend. Jay is the first resident of Cattle Valley that the author describes as very effeminate, with long hair and eye make-up (the stereotypical 'gay man'). Ironically enough, these are traits the town rogue, Erico, hasn't been attracted to - until now. He wants Jay, but his reputation for screwing around has caused people to warn Jay away. He's shaken by this knowledge, along with the heart problems he is having. Until Jay decides that a no-strings attached fling is just what he wants - but will that be enough for either of them? I loved this story. It had a nice twist on the "town tramp" cliche, and a fair amount of drama. Jay's reasons for wearing eye make-up are surprising, as is his preference for rough sex - which made for some really erotic sex scenes in the kitchen! Definitely one of my favorites.
Firehouse Heat
This story concerns firemen Leo and Sammy. Though I enjoyed the story, it was too much like "Physical Therapy" (where the town doctors Isaac and Sam become involved with the much younger Matt) to truly stand out. Leo is 18 years older than Sammy, and has all the hang-ups that the previous novella got into over age. I enjoy more mature characters, but am a bit tired of the "I'm too old for you-angst." Physical Therapy had Matt's PTSD to expand the story, but this one doesn't have much else. They quickly become a couple, have some vanille sex and ta-da. I'm also not thrilled that the groundwork was laid for another such older/younger dynamic with Neil (who Leo has been mentoring) and his previous guardian. Usually, I anticipate the next HEA, but I hope it's a long while before we get to that one. I'd much rather see Jay's best friend Ethan find true love :-)
Overall, a solid entry that series' fans will enjoy. Newcomers could read this, but it's best to start at the beginning.

Cattle Valley Vol 8 Carol Lynne Books Reviews
This is probably one of the stories I was waiting most of all, I have a soft spot for girly looking guys, above all when it's clear that, behind the fragile look, there is a strength that few men can demonstrate.
Jay is the favourite of all the inhabitants of Cattle Valley he is young and innocent looking, and everyone wants to protect him. But no one wants to be his lover, maybe since they are scared to hurt him, or maybe since Jay is not exactly butch looking, and you need to like the waif style to like him; in few words, Jay is too pretty to be real, and this kept good men at distance; then, if a man gets close to him, he is often of the idea that he can control a fragile man like Jay.
There is one man who would like Jay not only as a pretty object to show off, but he is the Don Juan of Cattle Valley; Erico, the owner of the fanciest restaurant in town, is also quite famous to be always the buddy friend of every man but never the lover. At first Erico sees in Jay only a strangely attractive man, someone who is not his usual type; and then Erico can't "use" Jay like he usually does with men, the townspeople are there looking at them and at once threatening Erico if he will hurt Jay, and then warning Jay against Erico. With this basis, nothing can really happen between them, and at the beginning of the book, Erico has lost hope.
And it's at this point that Jay displays his real self a librarian outside the bedroom, he is a slut inside, and he is also very horny and he needs a man. And Erico is there, willing to be that man, and scared enough by all their friends that for sure he will not dare to really hurt Jay; but a little bit of pain during sex is something not only Jay is willing to accept, but above all that he needs.
I was expecting for the drama to be on Jay's side, given his past, and instead he comes out pretty much like a young and steady man, who perfectly knows what he wants in life and that is more than able to take care of himself; who instead needs help is Erico. This is an unexpected and nice turn that gives balance inside the couple, so much that, I realized or remembered only at the end of the book that Jay is way much younger than Erico, and that this was indeed a May / December relationship.
Sometimes series begin to lose their glow after too many entries. Thankfully, Lynne's Cattle Valley is still going strong, likely because each novella features a new couple. Though this isn't the best, it is a strong entry to the soap opera.
