These two guys are too hot to handle. Chance thinks he's got a pretty good life. He loves his job as a fireman, he's got an ocean view, and he has a great bunch of friends. He figures there's not much reason to change until he meets Tucker, a paramedic who works his shift. Tucker might even be worth breaking the don't ask, don't tell policy at work, might just be worth coming out for. Trouble threatens to tear the two apart, though, when Chance is injured, which takes a toll on all of his relationships, most importantly the one he had developed with Tucker. In fact, it shatters everything they've worked so hard for. Can Chance and Tucker rebuild their lives, coming back together to be better than ever? Then, in Flashover, the boys from Heat are back! When a family tragedy forces Tucker to return to Kentucky to wait out the probate on the old homestead, he and Chance are separated for a while. Chance has been promoted to Captain, and can't leave his job for long, putting strain on his relationship. Even when they can find time to be together they have to face adversity from the locals, problems in their own personal lives, and even the weather as they try to get the farm settled enough to leave it behind. Can Chance and Tucker keep it together even when the fire burns high enough to flash over their heads? Related Items:      see moreAverage Rating:
 Rating:  - Well written romanceWhile this book was not exactly my cup of tea it was exceptionally well written and I still enjoyed it. My feelings on the book had more to do with my own personal preferences than quality of the writing. Rating:  - love fireline, had to have iti already owned these stories in my ebooks and they are so good that i wanted the written book i could hold in my hand. this book is both of the stories in one book and i like that. i love to read these type of stories, man-love stories, if both of the characters are strong and manly types. in this book, both men are alpha types that i would love to read more about. this book is a definite keeper. Rating: - Hot and sweetI can't believe how good this book was! The romance was really sweet, and the sex was HOT! And the author kept the sex scenes coming, each time managing a new twist that gave it variety. It wasn't all sex, but a good balance between sex, relationship-building, working as firemen, and tobacco farming (and the occasional brawl). I just was really touched by their relationship and loved how sweet they were with each other. Rating: - Sweet Hot Firemen!2-for-1 Deal. Chance & Tucker meet in "Heat" and their story continues in "Flashover", both contained in this edition "Fireline". Each story can stand on it's own, but I sure enjoyed reading them back-to-back. (and the cover pics for each story were included, sweet!) Loved their first explosive scene during Chance's work out, becoming more than work partners, to dealing with individual crisis that tears them apart. Rating: - Fiery HeatThis story burns, with a hot plotline, hot and sexy characters, highly satisfying sex scenes, lots of well-developed conflict, both within the primary relationship and between the two guys and the outside world. Chance and Tucker are both wonderful and sympathetic characters: hot, sexy, adorable, delectable. Their mutual attraction is credible and their sex even better. The way they meet and become lovers is steamy and entirely believable. The fight they have after Chance is seriously injured is entirely believable. Unfortunately, and this is why I had to give the book a four-star versus five-star rating, I wasn't convinced that two guys who loved each other as obsessively and deeply as they did would allow their relationship to end with one fight and neither of them try to put it back together for five months. Then, the reconciliation was MUCH too easy and quick after a five-month separation without any communication. Too bad, because I found the second half of the book, in which Tucker had to fight his demons and Chance had to learn how to stop trying to control everything going on around him, was really quite good. I was impressed that the author didn't try to wrap up every loose end in the second half of the book and allowed the two to repair their relationship with a few questions still unanswered. Very realistic. Good read, strongly recommended. I look forward to future books from this author. |
Sales of semiconductors in November indicate that consumer products such as LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs, digital music players, and other devices sold well during the holidays, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) said Monday.
November chip sales rose 2.3 percent year-on-year to $23.1 billion, the SIA said.
Unit demand has far outpaced last year. But falling chip prices have hurt industry revenue, the chip association said. For example, DRAM (dynamic RAM) bit shipments grew 25 percent in the three months through mid-December, but average selling prices have declined 20 percent over the same period.
The association also noted that rising energy prices and concerns about the sub-prime lending issue in the U.S. do not appear to have had a significant impact on consumer spending for the holidays, the SIA said. The group reiterated its forecast that worldwide semiconductor sales will reach a new record in 2007. But it will take a stronger than expected December selling season to reach the 3.8 percent growth goal the group had forecast earlier this year, the SIA said.
Investment banking firm Credit Suisse was not as optimistic as the SIA.
The November data was below normal seasonal trends, noted analyst John Pitzer, in a report on Monday. Even if December reaches its normal seasonal growth, 2007 industry revenue will only reach $255.7 billion, up 3.2 percent over last year. The growth percentage would fall short of the SIA's 3.8 percent target.
The slow November prompted Credit Suisse to lower its 2008 chip industry revenue forecast to 9.4 percent year-on-year growth, down from a previous target of 13 percent.
