Mitchell manages to infuse this book with a lot of crazy hot sex, but also make it about so much more. I also must point out that this is a super sexy story. They are such an interesting contrast, and watching these guys figure out how they are actually quite perfect for one another is so rewarding. Sometimes he needs to take risks and let things happen. He has to learn that he can’t control everything and put the world in his own order. And Joey is so adorable and endearing that he is used to getting whatever he wants. And so we can understand now why Aaron is resistant to being responsible to or for anyone else, even just emotionally. We see how much Aaron struggled to raise his siblings, how strong he had to be for so many years. What first starts off as Aaron the arrogant prick and Joey the sunny brat becomes so much more as the story goes on. Mitchell manages to create such beautifully complex and layered characters that unveil themselves more and more as the story goes on. Aaron and Joey are probably in my handful of all time favorite couples, and for me, they are what really make this book. I have read and reread this book many times and was so excited to see it fit in so nicely with Men in Uniform Week so that I could justify another reread to review for you here. Mitchell and Collision Course is my favorite book of hers. So I will tell you before I go any further that I am a HUGE fan of K.A. Aaron has to decide if having Joey in his life is worth opening himself up to really caring about someone again, or if he is going to lose the man he has grown to love because he is too afraid to try. Joey is determined to have his happily ever after with Aaron, but he also doesn’t always know when to stop pushing for what he wants.
But as Aaron begins to realize how important Joey has become, and how much he needs Joey in his life, the thought of once again having someone who needs him (and who he needs back) is terrifying. Somehow Aaron can’t resist him, and before he realizes it, Joey has become an important part of Aaron’s life despite the fact that he never wanted a relationship. Joey is basically Aaron’s polar opposite – cheery and optimistic and seemingly always in need of saving.
The problem is that somehow Joey finds a way into Aaron’s heart and won’t let go. He wants to be able to enjoy life and live for himself for a while. Now that the kids are all out of house, Aaron is not looking for any more commitment or responsibility. Aaron raised his siblings after their drug addict mother took off, managing to keep them out of foster care with a lot of determination and more than their share of desperate times. And that is pretty much where they stay at first, as the guys have a hot hookup not long after. When paramedic Aaron Chase meets Joey Miller, his first thoughts are of Joey’s hot ass.
