Title: When the Walls Come Down (Hot Dam Homes #2)

Author: Harper Robson

Rating: 3.5/5

Date Finished: April 15, 2025

Review: This book follows Dylan, the owner of Hot Dam Homes and brother of Mason from the last book. He's autistic and it plays a pretty big role in this book. As someone with probably ADHD and possible autism, this was a... interesting read I guess.

His love interest is Reed, the doctor who helped Mason in the previous book, and in this book, he helps deliver Dylan's sister's baby. He's a recovering addict with a shitty past.

So when they meet up during the whole baby thing, their attraction flares up again and Dylan offers to help Reed with the renovations at his house and things just... progress from there.

We read a bit about the doubt Reed has of being "good enough" for Dylan, but no real explanation as to why he feels that way. I'm making the assumption that it's because he's an addict and was homeless at one point. But the man is literally a doctor at this point.

Overall this book was... okay. It was a book. Again, I didn't really feel the emotional connection with these characters. It felt very superficial. Even when they were talking about Reed's past of living on the streets and being addicted to opiates it felt very surface. Yeah, we hear about his shitty family, but you don't feel the emotions in it.

It often felt like this book was more about the autism than the romance, and I wasn't the hugest fan of that. I get that autism absolutely plays a huge part in any kind of relationship, platonic or romantic, but like... We saw more about the autism than we saw these two actually getting to know each other.

So yeah. Not sure I'd recommend this series or not. I'll finish up the last couple of books. I think the next one is a Christmas novella, which follows Case, the guy who helped Reed get clean, then the final book which follows Sam, who works at Hot Dam Homes and is Dylan and Mason's cousin/best friend.

After those, I'm reading Beth Bolden's newest book On Thin Ice from her Portland Evergreens hockey series, I know I'll enjoy that one. She's one of my favorite authors. I always read her shit as soon as it comes out.

Like two years ago, @turniptitaness said that my magnum opus (my words, not hers. I clearly have a Favorite Project and hold on tight to it lmao) gave off Heartstopper vibes so now— after a whole revised edition has been made and everything— I made it an official playlist :D So we thank supportive friends for feeding my ego! Woo-hoo!

I don’t know what the unofficial playlist would be but now it’s official! For whenever Netflix wants to sign me up for a series deal. Having anyone but Ryan Murphy direct it because I do not need him touching my very openly autistic child and my queer children with his retconning hands. Or his Freaky™️ hands because he sure does like making teenagers have sex (cough cough Glee cough cough The Politician. Emphasis on Glee actually because that show was insane. Ah good ol’ 2009! But my sister and I do have a mutual joke that it would be funny to cast somebody well loved like Ben Platt but give him a very minor role like a background teacher or somebody’s dad. Just have him so we can say “heyyy look who’s in our show!! :D” and give him twenty minutes of screen time that he’d probably be great at anyway. It’s funny in a weird way. To us. Anyway if you’ve read all this, enjoy the playlist if you wanna give it a listen!
