A gorgeous man, a sexy fireman, and a crazed gunman walked into a Drag Queen restaurant on a busy Sunday morning.It sounded like a joke until… emotions.
He was rugged boots and a red fireman helmet, who kept more than fire gear in his closet.
Most days, I was glitter stilettos and red lipstick, and the only thing in my closet was a couple hundred pairs of fabulous shoes.
I was ready for love, to shout it from the rooftop, he still needed a safety net.
Together we created a flaming hot romance…

Ringo, one of the best characters in this series IMO, is the flamboyant drag queen that owns Bananas, one of the girls’ favorite places to go to. When Ringo’s day doesn’t go the way he plans it to go; namely a homophobic monster coming in and shooting up his place and Ringo ending up shot. Next thing he knows he wakes up surprised that Dash, the paramedic that was first on the scene is there right by his side. For Cooper Dash this is something he feels compelled to do, sit with Ringo, not only because he doesn’t have anybody, but something inside is telling him it’s important to do so. The two are complete opposites, but they each feel the pull; this is the story about how the two fought to become more.
I have hoped for Ringo to get a story since his first appearance, a flamboyant drag queen, not that there are reserved ones. My only complaint is that I wanted more story, I feel like we missed some really good moments that weren’t written and I wanted some of those firsts. Not talking sexually, just like Ringo’s first morning at the house, how they dealt with the first night all that type of stuff, the build up stuff. This still manages to give us some really good drama, danger, and a nice naughty moment or two. I give Ringo and Cooper’s story 4 stars.
I was so excited to read Ringo’s story and was not disappointed. After getting to know Ringo through the other books, I was so glad he got his HEA. Amazing story, great chemistry and well thought out and written storyline, but that twist at the end!!!! Download this series today, you won’t be disappointed.
Love the way Danielle writes her books. Loved Ringo’s personallity from the start in the other books. Cooper (Dash) was a surprise, but then there were some other surprises as well. Loved the way the possee (the girls) stuck by his side. There was a lot of danger, haters, love and HEA.
Seriously amazing. Danielle has written another book that will give you all the feels. I laughed and I cried. Ringo (Alex) has been injured when a gunman walks into Banana’s. The paramedic that takes care of him on the way is Dash. When their eyes meet its magic. Even though Dash has not come out he knows who he is and falls for Alex. This book leads them through lots of events that will have you laughing and shedding a few tears. I love that we finally get the life of Ringo. Such and amazing person in the Iron Orchids books.
Ringo’s story was heartfelt and real. In most of the other stories we get Ringo’s drag persona and in his story we see the man behind the mask, We readers are given insight into some of the opinions of others of life choices and fundamentally we watch true love blossom and thrive. Cooper and Alex’s story is real, complex and most of all full of love and acceptance. Family is who you make it and The Orchids are all a family.
“I was water being whirled up into his hurricane of personality.” ~ Cooper
Whew! Since first meeting Ringo and reading about Bananas, I have loved his character! I was so thrilled when I learned Danielle would be writing his story.
Alex Derring, known as Ringo, is a drag queen who runs one of the best Sunday brunches in Orlando. Ringo met the ladies of Iron Orchids when they attended his restaurant. In true Danielle Norman fashion, each Iron Orchid book has to have a character from the first responder field. Enter Cooper Dash, the handsome firefighter paramedic who responds to a call and meets Ringo.
Will Ringo and Dash overcome the ignorance and judgement of family, friends, and colleagues? Or will the archaic school of thought prevail?
Unbelievably divine story of a deep true love. This book is full of all the feels. I was shocked, terrified, excited, deeply moved and found myself cheering & applauding this wonderful Love duet. There is so much vivid reality in this book that can really open your eyes to the truth of life today. Such a wonderful love story. Everyone should read this book. It might change the world.
