Cold Pressed (Seacroft #2) by Allison Temple







Blurb

No strings attached is all Oliver can offer. He's hiding a broken heart that holds him back from diving into a new relationship, but he'll go on a blind date to make his family happy. Just one date, though; he doesn't have time for love to derail his plans.

Divorced and demoted to the night shift, Nick has his own problems. He's got an ex-wife who needs him and a kid with one foot in juvie. The last thing Nick needs is to butt heads - or other body parts - with a tempting hipster who wears a sad smile on their blind date.

Their chemistry can't be denied, though, in an argument or in bed. No strings sex is uncomplicated and that's what Nick and Oliver need. But getting into bed together is one thing. Staying out of each other's hearts soon becomes so much more complicated than either one imagined.

Cold Pressed is an 81k contemporary MM romance. It features a smoldering bisexual single dad, a broken-hearted hipster with a thing for beet juice, and a friends-with-benefits arrangement that blooms into the HEA you've been looking for.


Review 
My Rating - 5 Stars!


Allison's Cold Pressed is a fantastic addition to her Seacroft series. 

Although he's extremely attracted to Oliver, Nick's life is too messy to try for more than a hook up. Oliver, meanwhile is trying to move on after all his plans have changed.

These are two flawed men, full of realistic issues. They are both so damn likeable and you'll find yourself falling for them. They start a no strings attached arrangement, which brings them together, and thus starts the meat of the tale, as they quickly find the lines blurring. This is so darn enjoyable, as I love the pace and manner in which things develop.


They have to deal with facing challenges as well as some town snobs. There's a plethora of issues with Nick's ex wife and troubled son. I love the small town charm, the wonderful friends, and the strong support. Hell, I love it all. The angst/family issues are well done. As a mom, the issues with Nick's son made my heart hurt.

Overall, I can't recommend Cold Pressed enough. It's the perfect feel-good romance. Just snuggle up with a blanket and enjoy.
