Double Shot (Bold Brew #10) by Gwen Martin

 


Amazon Link   - Available in KU  





Coffee, with a double shot of desire....

West is still floundering three years after a failed relationship spun his life out of control, and forced him to move back to his hometown. When he meets Rhys at Bold Brew, his curiosity sparks, and he wonders if the alluring photographer could be his shot at embracing the inner Little he suppressed in the past. Rhys's photos are a passionate exploration and call to West's needs and desires. 

Rhys loves to guide and nurture partners—then send them on their way. But something about West is different. The quiet man responds to Rhys's Daddy dominance in beautiful ways. And the camera loves him, too. 

When West agrees to a photoshoot, their chemistry ignites. Rhys and West are a perfect complement to one another's cravings. But can this double shot at love last as long as one of Rhys’s photographs, or will they drink their fill and move on?

Double Shot 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!

Potential Trigger Warning for a character discussing issues with alocholism. There is no replase on page.





My Rating - 3.5 Stars!


Double Shot is a good BDSM romance by Gwen Martin. The tenth book in the multi-author Bold Brew series, each book is a standalone. 

Wes and Rhys make for an interesting duo. The two start with some sexy photo shoots that include plenty of heat, and end up as Daddy and little. 

The Daddy aspect is a lot of fun, with it developing naturally.

The age play aspect is there, but isn't very developed. As a fan of age play, I enjoy the little ways that Rhys helps Wes to accept and be calmed by his regression. But, as a fan of age play, I really want more. Just more of these scenes. 

One of the men struggles with alcohol and it's a large part of his character. I enjoy the way it's all handled. 

My favorite part of this story is the erotic feelings evoked during the photo shoots. These scenes help the men give into their feelings and are just freaking hot. And, damn, I enjoy all of the photography element.

In the end, this is a story with some healing. If you enjoy hurt/comfort reads, you'll enjoy that aspect of the tale.

Unfortunately, I also felt disconnected at times. I would have preferred to have connected to the men more, with less description. Thus the lower rating, as my mind wandered from time to time.

Double Shot is a decent addition to the Bold Brew series.
