Love strikes like lightning. Sometimes it humps your neighbor’s leg first. Ever humped your neighbor’s leg with the force of a thousand suns? No? Mike’s dog has. Welcome to The Lineman, where moving into a new neighborhood means immediate humiliation, unexpected flirtations, and a horny Jack Russell with zero shame. But behind the chaos and comedy is a heartwarming story about connection, courage, and the people who keep the world running—literally. The next adventure in the Heartstrings of Honor series celebrates the unsung heroes, too often taken for granted. This installment features Eliot Hart, a power lineman who climbs into storms while the rest of us stay warm and dry. He restores power. He hauls fallen trees. He’s the kind of guy who fixes things—including hearts.
Book three in the Heartstrings of Honor series keeps the good vibes rolling with its trademark campy, snarky banter. If you enjoyed the previous installments, you’re in for a treat! This latest adventure had me laughing out loud and, dare I say, even brought me to tears (a rare feat!).
The story introduces us to Mike, a high school teacher, and Eliot, a lineman, whose instant attraction sends them into a whirlwind of emotions. Their bond instantly draws in the snarky cast of familiar faces—think older women with a flair for trash talk, a hilariously uninhibited dog, and the beloved nurses from the last book. The humor is undeniable, and these characters elevate the already delightful plot.
I particularly love this installment’s focus on creating safe spaces for LGBTQ students. Mike’s determination to champion this cause introduces significant emotional depth, that addresses crucial topics like homophobia while still delivering plenty of heat between Mike and Eliot and some angst!
The culmination of their love story is set against the backdrop of a moral obligation—something that will resonate deeply with readers. The journey Mike and Eliot take towards their happily ever after is satisfying and authentic, making this book not just a joy to read, but an important one too.
