Orderly Affair (Hearts and Health Book 6) Kindle Edition

by DJ Jamison (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 238 ratings
A hospital orderly explores his bisexuality with an adorably geeky lab tech, but can their sparks lead to love outside the closet?

When Ian Connolly installs a hookup app to explore his long-suppressed attraction to men, he doesn't expect to connect with anyone he knows, especially not lab tech Callum Price. But from their first scorching encounter, he's hooked.

Callum hasn't had the best luck with love, and he's suffocating under a pile of responsibilities. But when he sees an opportunity to blow off steam with Ian, he takes it. The man is smoking hot, big all over, and sweet as pie.

Their chemistry is off the charts, but a relationship is more challenging. Callum remains stubbornly self-reliant, while Ian tries too hard to be his rock. But if Ian can be honest with his family about loving a man, maybe Callum can admit his own truth: He wants a man he can count on, a man just like Ian.

    D J always does the slow burn. She makes you earn their love. Even if a little nibble is given initially, the cat and mouse game pulls you in. The same goes for Ian and Callum. Callum's may and Ian at this point newly divorced and bicurious, they meet through a hook up sit. Bonus points come from them working at the same hospital, but not knowing each other. After a brief hookup, Ian wants even more, but Callum is just looking for fun, having had his share of getting burned. Luckily for us they continue the game. Even though Ian is hooked, not coming out of the closet, plays havoc on both of them. Happily through a serious of issues, they find their way to the finish line. At first, I didn't like, Callum's mother, but in the end, she redeems herself. Sorry, no matter what, Doug was still a thorn to me.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018

    Ian is a hospital orderly. He loves his job, sees himself doing it forever. Recently divorced he has an eighteen year old son. He know he has always been attracted to men but has never done anything about it. He tries a new app on his phone and is surprised to find a guy in the same hospital.

    Callum is a lab tech also happy with his job but wanting to advance. He lives in a crappy home with his mom and an ex boyfriend who just won't go away. When he gets a message from his dating app he doesn't believe the guy in the picture is the same one he's talking to.

    They meet in a bathroom stall and are both really surprised by their attraction to each other. They decide that after the first explosive encounter that they want to pursue the feelings.

    Ian is firmly in the closet and has no plans on coming out anytime soon. Callum is ok with that because it's just a temporary thing. The issues start when they realize that they are falling in love. Problems multiply and they aren't that good at communicating outside the bedroom.

    Another good book in this series and the visits from past characters is welcome.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Can I Have Ian for Myself?
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2018

    I loved this book. Ian is the almost-ideal man, and he gets along with his ex-wife (mostly) and most of his family, is practical and forthright. And Callum changes, too, of course, from push-over to standing up for himself, even if it does take a big push to get there. There’s a engaging cast of supporting characters and they’re funny! What’s up with Ian’s brother Sean, anyway? Will he get his own book? I hope so!

    So glad I found this series!

    This is the third book I've read by this author, and I have generally enjoyed them all; they're well written, the characters are relatable and likeable, and the happy endings are sufficiently satisfying.

    This one feel a little flat for me, in terms of resolution. The "Big Climactic Scene" was short, and none of the "dealing with the impact after" was shown on page. Also, the (minor spoiler alert) whole confrontation with Matt felt odd to me, and the resolution of that situation was pretty unsatisfactory.

    Also, the author has had characters say negative and unnecessary mean things about redheads in multiple books, and it's really ticked me off. It's jarring, pointless, and as a lot of anti-redhead sentiment is rooted in antisemitism, deeply uncomfortable for this Jewish ginger.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun read, a little May/December, a little more
    Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2018
    This story is a little bit of a May/December story, with a little of opposites attract, and a first time gay. The cast of characters is a little of everything as well. There a moving on up ex-wife, unemployed deadbeat ex-boyfriend, a snarly teenage son, a less than loving disabled mom, and a whole clan of Connolly’s. Added to the mix, is the rest of the hospital gang we’ve met in the previous books. They all add their own element to the enjoyment of the book.

    Ian is a nurturer and a caregiver. He is also a big, burly divorced man, with an eighteen-year-old son. His ex-wife is getting re-married and so she no longer needs him. But now he’s got time to trying to figure out his bisexual side. That side has always been there, but yeah, the wife. So now he’s free to explore and to that end, he installs an app for that. It shows that there is a chance to meet with someone at the hospital. Whoever it is has agreed to meet him in the janitor’s closet.

    Callum is stuck in a rut. His life consists of working at a job he loves but won’t have any chance to get ahead in. And when he goes home, he gets to deal with his disabled mom and his ex-boyfriend, who won’t take the hint to move out. All the while hoping the house they all live in doesn’t fall on their heads. When his phone’s app shows him a chance to hookup, he jumps at the chance. He’s sure it’s a one and done, so he’s not sure why Ian keeps coming around. And when Ian starts his caregiver tendencies, Callum is eager to prove he can take care of himself…maybe.

    Loved this book, it was such a fun read. I loved watching, as Callum learns to grow a backbone, that sometimes you have to confront people and things in your life. Then there’s Ian, as he struggles with how to be open and honest about his sexuality to his son and the rest of his family. This is book six in the series, I think you could read this as a standalone and not get to lost with the secondary characters that show up in this story. But really, the others are so worth reading, you should get them all and read in order.

    Good read. I quite enjoyed Ian but I found Callum to be quite a big pushover who said he could "take care of himself" but who let everyone walk all over him. He finally started to grow a pair of balls towards the end of the book so that was nice.

    Orderly Ian and lab tech Callum hook up through an app as Ian looks to explore his bisexuality for the first time in his life. His previous experiences has all been with a woman. He is divorced with a son. He has been attracted to men in the past but never acted on his attraction until now. He is instantly attracted to Callum but Callum is only interested in hooking up at this point in his life. Or does he? Callum finds himself realising the more time he spends with Ian, the more he wants with him.

    Unfortunately, Callum's living arrangements aren't conducive to a relationship with an ex who refuses to move out and refuses to contribute anything to keeping the house and a mother who is in denial over his sexuality.

    Yep plenty that could and does go wrong. It was full of twists and turns along the way that has you running the gauntlet of emotions. I really, really enjoyed this read.
