Training to be a lifeguard at an Australian beach is tough work, but Cody Grant loves a challenge. He spends long days in the sun and surf rescuing swimmers from treacherous rip currents while trying not to lust after senior lifeguard Liam Fox—who is deeply, painfully closeted.
Liam was supposed to be a football legend. Now in his mid-thirties, it’s been over a decade since his dream shattered along with his knee. Fans still recognize him regularly, and he's terrified his sexuality will be discovered and his conservative parents will reject him. He has strict rules to protect his secret and keeps everyone at arm’s length. Liam never acts on his need to surrender after being shamed for it years ago by the first and only man he trusted.
Out and proud Cody fascinates Liam—and tempts him to break all the rules.
Cody is practically half Liam's size and age, but has the confidence and compassion to take charge and give Liam the release, affection, and acceptance he desperately craves. But how long can a secret affair satisfy their hearts? As if saving lives isn’t hard enough, Cody faces his greatest challenge yet convincing Liam to trust him and find the courage to live out loud.
Flash Rip is an M/M gay romance from Keira Andrews featuring a slow burn, an age gap, scorching first times, and of course a happy ending.
Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Flash Rip is another great read by Keira Andrews.
Cody and Liam are two lifeguards in Western Australia. Yes, an Australia setting! Taking place in Perth, I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere.
As for Cody and Liam, one's a former Aussie Rules Football player. The other is from Canada, thus doesn't know anything about Aussie Rules and certainly doesn't recognize the famous man.
Liam's a former professional athlete who's firmly locked in the closet. Not only is he concerned about his fans, he also can't come out, as his family is very homophobic. Be warned for some disgusting insults.
Liam's never been with a man at home before, but soon he can't ignore the chemistry between himself and Cody. They are super hot together, and extremely compatible sexually. And, yes, their kinks include some bondage. Enjoy.

And holy crap, their banter is fantastic. There's some remarks that had me dying. "You always have a way with words." That sums it up perfectly. Just sit back and enjoy the humor.
For anyone who's ever seen a lifeguard rescue at the beach, this story will resonate with you greatly. I could feel the tension and the danger of the rescues jumping off the pages.
Overall, Flash Rip is a sweet story of coming to terms with one's sexuality. I highly suggest this Keira Andrews book when you're in the mood for a closeted character. It perfectly explores the reasons to stay closeted, as well as the struggles with not being allowed to be true to oneself.
Author Bio
After writing for years yet never really finding the right inspiration, Keira discovered her voice in gay romance, which has become a passion. She writes contemporary, historical, fantasy, and paranormal fiction and — although she loves delicious angst along the way — Keira firmly believes in happy endings. For as Oscar Wilde once said:
“The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.”
