He likes to be independent and hates to ask for any help, even though he’s the first one to help his friends when they need it. He’s hiding his anger, bitterness, and feelings of being overwhelmed and lost under a façade of "I’m fine". He’s an overthinker and stubborn, and he’s finding it hard to adapt to this new life.
Dayton Adams works with one of Tameron's roommates. He’s a Battalion Chief and an older, sexy firefighter. And Tameron just does not respond positively to him, even though he has a unique ability to understand his situation due to deaf members in his family. He has a bit of a crush on Tameron, but he at least hoped to be able to be friends with him, but Tameron initially didn’t give him much hope that that would happen.
But Dayton is patient, kind, understanding, and determined. He’s generally easy-going, and he’s looking to find joy in life and a partner. And luckily, his patience pays off, and the more time they start to spend together during common pursuits, the more Tameron lets him in to help him deal with his challenges, and the more he realizes that he can trust Dayton. Tie that in with an unexpected bi-awakening. building attraction, exploration together, and this is a slow slide into unexpected feelings and a relationship.
This is a beautiful and inspiring age gap, bi-awakening, hurt-comfort story about trust, opening up, patience, understanding, and finding hope, purpose, family, and a true home. I loved these two guys together. Tameron considered himself a broken, hot mess with all of his issues, fears, challenges, and anger. But Dayton is a man who knows what he wants, and he’s willing to put in the time and the work if there’s even a chance of getting it. He is just such a sweet, kind, and dedicated hero who just wants to support Tameron and build him up.
I loved getting more with the other guys in his friend group and seeing them progress their relationships. I am also excited about Nash‘s book being next, since we were given a little tease of who his hero might be. I also liked Dayton’s younger brother, Dax, and I would be interested in knowing more of his story as well
Losing my hearing has far more consequences than I expected.
The physical part is frustrating and annoying, but the emotional part is so much harder. I don’t belong anywhere anymore, always an outsider.
And now there’s Dayton, the older, sexy firefighter who keeps popping up everywhere I go. At my gym, in my house, in my dreams.
Wait, why am I dreaming about him?
I don’t even like him—though that doesn’t seem to be mutual.
Surprisingly, Dayton understands my struggles better than anyone else, and before I realize what’s happening, he’s decided we’re friends.
Except I’m not sure I’m satisfied with just friendship anymore…
Accepting that I’m bi is easy, but why does the man I fall for have to be Dayton?
Tameron is the third book in the Honorably Discharged Series, which can be read as standalones but are much more fun read in order. It features a veteran trying to find where he belongs, a firefighter chief who knows what he wants, an age gap, one-sided dislike meets crush, found family, and a steamy happily ever after.
It’s finally Tameron‘s turn to unexpectedly find his person...and he finds him in someone that he doesn’t even think he likes.
Tameron and his friends suffered a traumatic event in the military, and they all suffer from various issues, and they’ve been there for each other as friends and roommates. Tameron is still dealing with the repercussions of hearing loss, dizziness, and equilibrium issues, and still sometimes feels like an outsider even in their own home.

Accepting my career in the Army is over after losing my leg is hard.
But the obnoxious, good looking, glass-half-full surfer in my physical therapy sessions is worse.
And god help him if he doesn’t stop trying to give me advice.
Living in a home with three of my closest veteran buddies is a challenge as we all have our crosses to bear and wounds to heal from, but mine only seem to be getting deeper with every step forward I take. I already have to adjust to a new life as a civilian. I don’t need a sexuality crisis to go with it.
But Heath is making me question everything I thought I knew about myself. And while that should terrify me, somehow, he’s helping me feel braver than I ever have before.
Creek is the first book of the Honorably Discharged series, featuring a grumpy veteran with a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas, a sunshine surfer who can bring out the best in almost everyone, a bisexual awakening, found family, hurt/comfort, and a steamy happily ever after.

After my medical discharge from the Army due to a brain injury, I’ve had to reinvent myself. Not easy when I can’t even remember what I ate for breakfast.
Or the hot, older guy I went home with. Oops.
When I run into him a second time and hit him up as if we’ve never met before, Jarek’s a little insulted. I can’t exactly blame him. But when he learns my memory is shit, he seems flattered I’ve picked him up twice.
And he’s all in for hooking up again. And then again. Our chemistry is off the charts.
We’re just friends with benefits, nothing more. I want to take my time exploring who I am, and Jarek wants the happily ever after and white picket fence.
But the more time we spend together, the more I question if it’s really only friendship I want from him. I’m getting awfully attached. Could it be we want the same thing?
Bean is the second book in the Honorably Discharged series, featuring a sweet guy who’d forget his own name if he didn’t write it down, a guy who thought he’d never find love again, found family, an age gap, friends-with-benefits to lovers, hurt/comfort, and a steamy happily ever after.
Would you like the long or the short version of my bio?
The short? You got it.
I write steamy gay romance books and I love it. I also love reading books. Books are everything.
How was that?
A little more detail? Gotcha.
I started writing my first stories when I was a teen…on a freaking typewriter. I still have these, and they’re adorably romantic. And bad, haha. Fear of failing kept me from following my dream to become a romance author, so you can imagine how proud and ecstatic I am that I finally overcame my fears and self doubt and did it. I adore my genre because I love writing and reading about flawed, strong men who are just a tad broken..but find their happy ever after anyway.
My favorite books to read are pretty much all MM/gay romances as long as they have a happy end. Kink is a plus… Aside from that, I also read a lot of nonfiction and not just books on writing. Popular psychology is a favorite topic of mine and so are self help and sociology.
Hobbies? Ain’t nobody got time for that. Just kidding. I love traveling, spending time near the ocean, and hiking. But I love books more.
