About this ebook

First in the gay romance series that delivers passion in Portland. “Tremendously charming and sexy, Served Hot is a knockout!” —RT Book Reviews 

In Portland, Oregon, the only thing hotter than the coffee shops, restaurants, and bakeries are the hard-working men who serve it up—hot, fresh, and ready to go—with no reservations . . .

Robby is a self-employed barista with a busy coffee cart, a warm smile, and a major crush on one of his customers. David is a handsome finance director who works nearby, eats lunch by himself, and expects nothing but “the usual”—small vanilla latte—from the cute guy in the cart. But when David shows up for his first Portland Pride festival, Robby works up the nerve to take their slow-brewing relationship to the next level. David, however, is newly out and single, still grieving the loss of his longtime lover, and unsure if he’s ready to date again. Yet with every fresh latte, sweet exchange—and near hook-up—David and Robby go from simmering to steaming to piping hot. The question is: Will someone get burned?

Ratings and reviews

Served Hot is a quick, often lighthearted, beautifully romantic story of two very different men who find love to eclipse their somewhat similar pasts. Now if only I could get my hands on the next book in say…the next five minutes? ***FicCentral received this book from Kensington Books (via NetGalley) for free in exchange for an honest review.

Good Read These may be Novela size reads, but they pack a wallop... They are full of all of the emotional feels you could want on a book...

Great read...believeable characters...easy to get yourself into their lives.
