For a book nearly $4.00 I did not expect it to be so short. Barely over one hour of reading! Compared to Fair Game or Driftwood, 2 amazing books I read recently and worth much more than its value, I just feel Priority One is a "ripped off". I wish they will indicate the number of words for e-books!
The price aside, I did like both Dylan and Kaleb even if their relationship is the same old "virgin boy" getting his first time with the older hunk of his dreams. Researching a bit more, this is the 3rd book in a series about gay paramedic guys, their works and finding love. This is my first taste of this writer's works and it does reminds me of Carol Lynn's but the sex is shorter which I totally appreciate. On the other hand the story is too short to support pages after pages of sex scenes. LOL!
The plot in Priority One has potential. Twenty year old Dylan is struggling to get over his homophobic father's treatment, his older brother's neglect, a spineless ex-lover and now the possibility of a romance with Kaleb, a fireman hunk known only for one night stands. But unfortunately the plot was never drilled into and just lacks depth. Suddenly Kaleb is all for Dylan which is hard to understand when this hunk could have anyone. Surely more struggles are needed. Granted the words are limited but I have read much better shorter ones with more emotional depth. I am not saying her writing is bad but it could have done with more emotions and depth. And I really expected more since this one is listed as the no. 1 selling gay book in Amazon! This makes me wonder about the taste of most M/M readers. Are they just satisfied with a simple romance, easy to read, with some sex.

The stray word 'HE' at the end of the book doesn't belong there. The publisher has tried to remove it, but for some reason it keeps coming back. Therefore, the end isn't missing.

I'm addicted to all of Stephanie Hecht's series and this book does not disappoint. I laughed, cried and fell in love with both Dylan and Kaleb. Not only do we get to see old favorites from the previous books, but we get to see one villain actually has a human side. A must read for any Hecht fan.
