Vanilla Steamer (Bold Brew #4) by Crystal Lacy

 



Amazon Link   - Available in KU  





Our barista likes some spice in his vanilla—and it turns out the customer he’s crushing on might as well.

Vann enjoys his barista job. He enjoys it even more when Landon becomes an early morning regular. Vann can't resist flirting with the quiet doctor, even though he’s about eighty percent sure Landon is vanilla. That other twenty percent keeps him pushing at Landon’s buttons every time he comes in.

Things such as rope and impact play have never been on Landon’s radar. That changes after he develops an unrelenting crush on the barista who works at the local coffee shop. When he spends more time with Vann, Landon begins to realize his desires are anything but vanilla.

As the two explore Landon’s limits together, shadows of the past materialize to test them. Can Vann and Landon meet those challenges and strengthen their new relationship?

Vanilla Steamer is a stand-alone novel in the multi-author Bold Brew shared universe centered around an inclusive coffee shop set in a fictional small city. Each steaming hot coffee shop romance can be enjoyed alone, but collect all ten for the most fun! This steamy 53,000 word story has themes of new explorations and hurt/comfort, and is relatively low-angst, with a much-deserved happy ending.






My Rating - 4 Stars!


Crystal Lacy's Vanilla Steamer is anything but vanilla! This is Crystal's contribution to the multi-author Bold Brew series, with each book able to be read as a standalone. 

Vann and Landon's journey is all about the kink. The emotions are felt throughout, especially jumping off the pages during the sex scenes. 

And, oh my, when Landon asks Vann to help him forget. Wow! Just a wonderful scene. 

There are a lot of issues for the men to deal with. Vann's past includes a lot of rope play, but something left him unable to do so anymore. It has definitely left a part of him broken. 

Their story includes sexual exploration including power exchange. The heat level is off the charts and the romance is definitely present.

Written in alternating pov, both characters are easy to understand and both are likable. Even better yet, the emotions of each touch, each look, and each moment are fully felt by the reader. 

If you enjoy kink and heat, Vanilla Steamer is a must read. This Crystal Lacy tale is a great combo of both.
