About Fire and Flint
Jordan Erichsohn suspects something is rotten about his boss, Judge Crawford. Unfortunately he has nowhere to turn and doubts anyone will believe his claims—least of all the handsome deputy, Pierre Ravelle, who has been assigned to protect the judge after he received threatening letters. The judge has a long reach, and if he finds out Jordan’s turned on him, he might impede Jordan adopting his son, Jeremiah.
When Jordan can no longer stay silent, he gathers his courage and tells Pierre what he knows. To his surprise and relief, Pierre believes him, and Jordan finds an ally… and maybe more. Pierre vows to do what it takes to protect Jordan and Jeremiah and see justice done. He’s willing to fight for the man he’s growing to love and the family he’s starting to think of as his own. But Crawford is a powerful and dangerous enemy, and he’s not above ripping apart everything Jordan and Pierre are trying to build in order to save himself….

REVIEW:
Fire and Flint by Andrew Grey is the first book in his new Carlisle Deputies series, a spin off from his Carlisle Cops series. Fire and Flint centers around the entanglement of Jordan Erichsohn, Pierre Ravelle, and Judge Crawford. Grey is off to a great start here keeping us up to date with the shenanigans and romance going on in Carlisle. Andrew himself resides in Carlisle, PA - a coincidence?
Jordan Erichsohn is a single gay man whose life revolves around Jeremiah, an abandoned and abused little boy that he is close to adopting. With the help of his supportive mother he lives his life with that sole purpose in mind. When the handsome and sexy deputy, Pierre, enters his life, along with him stumbling upon suspicious documents, his world turns upside down.
Pierre Ravelle is the local deputy assigned to protect Judge Crawford who has been receiving threatening letters. He is handsome, kind, and generous. He dreads this assignment knowing it will be boring. When he meets the gorgeous Judge’s assistant, Jordan, things begin to look up for him.
Judge Crawford has a history, has been sitting on the bench for sometime, and will do anything to protect his seat. He has a reputation for being hard on criminals and those who cross him. When is actions become suspicious to Jordan and Pierre the Judge’s reach begins to threaten everything important to Jordan.
There is an immediate connection between Jordan and Pierre where they become friends and lovers that will definitely blossom into more given the time to grow; even as they share tender moments, heartache, and tension that combines to potentially derail their destined connection.
As the pull to do the right thing tears at Jordan, he and Pierre embark on a low key investigation to bring justice to those who have unfortunately crossed Crawford's path. As the evidence piles up there appear to be many who have been subjected to indiscretions. Their lives destroyed for acts that they were always innocent of.
Fire and Flint is many things. It is a beautiful friendship that becomes more for two guys that deserve to find happiness, love, and family. It is a twisting and turning suspense/thriller, making it a joy to immerse yourself in. It is full of supporting characters, ones you want to throttle and others to become besties with. Above all it is a sweet and sometime torturous romance that pulls at your heart.
If you have spent time in Carlisle, or even if you haven’t, Andrew Grey’s spin off series Carlisle Deputies is sure to provide us with many many hours of enjoyment, along the way twisting our guts with a bit of angst just to make us persevere and see our guys get their HEA.
