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.

While I enjoyed Flash Rip by Keira
Andrews, there were also some things that rubbed me the wrong way. As
always, my review is solely my opinion.
An age gap story on the beaches of Australia, I
sometimes felt I needed a translator in order to understand the lingo. That
aside, the descriptors Ms. Andrews wrote, transported me to the white
beaches and swims in the ocean.
Cody was out and proud, a Canadian transplant,
his love of the beach fit well for the Australian life guard life style. Liam,
older by numerous years was a conflicted ex sports phenom who was buried so
deep in the closet, the deadbolt and padlock were fixed in place.
Cody was immediately attracted to the older man,
and although Liam also felt the pull he traversed a line between desire and
despair. Once the men got together, the sex was off the charts and they learned
to live with secrets. This was were I was pulled out of the story. Liam’s constant
lamenting about being discovered was more of a whiney child who wanted
everything his way. Cody’s placating him got old very quickly, and I wanted
Liam to be outed- he was one way- although his profession of caring for Cody
and the need for secrecy ran rampant.
Liam’s parents were obnoxiously annoying and a
man well into his thirties should not care so much what bigoted mommy and daddy
think, and should be able to stand on his own two feet.
I found the secondary characters (the other life
guards) engaging and delightful, adding to the storyline.
Unfortunately, not even the HEA kept this reader
satisfied, as I was already annoyed with Liam.
