Review Tour: Off the Clock: Annabeth Albert
But there’s just something about Caleb, his younger trainer at the fire station that draws him in. It’s not just a physical attraction, he actually likes talking to him and spending time. Caleb is barely out of his probie stage at the firehouse himself and he’s got a reputation for developing inappropriate crushes and being the clumsy comedian. But he wants to be taken more seriously. And his life is changing too as he’s now become the guardian for his teen brother. Their family dynamics also have shaped how he sees relationships and he doesn’t feel like he really has time for one either.
So when stolen kisses lead to more sneaky interludes and an entire secret affair, they know it’s a bad idea but they have a hard time stopping. Despite their personal issues the potential work repercussions due to their positions and fraternization rules and the fact they live in a nosy town where everybody wants to gossip and know each other’s business.
It will come down to priorities and what they’re willing to take a risk for. This is an age gap, opposites-attract, small town, forbidden, coworkers,bi-awakening, secret affair turned unexpected romance about trust, companionship, passion, purpose, and found family. I really liked both Tony and Caleb and I thought they were a really good match. I liked seeing Caleb help Tony be more free and open and be able to explore things that he never had a chance to because of his past. And Tony gives Caleb honesty, appreciation, and sees him for who he really is. I loved seeing them be vulnerable with each other and honestly talk about things that have affected them that they’ve been hesitant to share with others. I’m enjoying the series and I am looking forward to Jonah‘s book next.
