Nice slow-burn, age-gap story.
Hearts Afire is the second book in the Forged in the City series but you can easily read it as a standalone. If you are like me though, and like to read series in order, you might want to start with the Silver in the City series and then read Hearts Ablaze, book one of this series. Characters from the Silver in the City series appear in this series as side characters but like I said, each book really does read well on its own.
Hearts Afire is the kind of age-gap story that I like. It doesn’t beat you to death with “oh, we shouldn’t, I’m too old for you” dialogue. The age difference is acknowledged, of course, but then they move on. I loved Ty and his fierce independent streak. He comes from a wealthy background but wants to make it on his own.
Vic was cheated on and that seriously colors his outlook on a lot of things. Including how he reacts when he finds out what one of Ty’s 3 jobs is. Nope, I’m not telling what that job is. Vic has to do some serious thinking and groveling if he is to get back in Ty’s good graces.
These two take their time with each other but once things heat up, they don’t fool around – or maybe they do? 😊
Hearts Afire is another great story from A.D. Ellis and I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

O Factor: Spicy
A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana as an instructional coach/teacher in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing school-aged children, and wondering how she and her husband of nearly two decades haven’t driven each other insane yet. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.
She loves chocolate, wine, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don’t leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in sarcasm.
A.D. uses she/her pronouns.
