Served Hot

** 3.5 **
This was a sweet, slow burn romance between a still grieving and previously closeted David and Robbie and outwardly easy going barista who is yearning for a real relationship after having been kept a secret by his prior boyfriend.

There is no kink, Alphas or super heroes here, just two everyday flawed people trying to cope with past experiences yet recognizing and reaching for love, plain & ordinary love when it's within grasp.

“Since David had come into my life I'd learned a lot more about hope. It looks like ivory sheets and stacks of paint cans and two pairs of shoes next to the bed. It sounds like rustling bed covers and murmured endearments. Hope tastes like skin and soap and victory and coffee.”

A sweet read for an afternoon, maybe with a nice mug of coffee too.
