All Kinds of Tied Down

I don't know if this is a 5-star for everybody but this book sure is for me.

I'm biased and I admit it because as soon as I started reading this I connected it to McDanno and it was the end for me. I loved H50 and never had crossed to another type of relationship in media that was quite close to Steve and Danno. But right from the gate, you get their exact dynamic in this book.

One seemingly unaware dude that drives his partner crazy with the amount of trouble he gets dropped on and how much affection they share all the time. Said partner is kinda short tempered but smart AF and has a huge heart. Both of them share mutual respect, understanding, and undying love for each other, but one of them is gay and in love with the other one, and the other one is straight and dating.

Throughout the book their relationship takes form and they hit every single one of my needs from friends to lovers relationship. They have a yearning, they have good understanding and lots of dialogue, they are loyal and respect each other's boundaries and they always put each other's needs first. And when they finally get together there's no drama, no shit, no second guessing, they're it.

I'm picking up the whole series and I will be reading other books by Mary Calmes too.
