Gruff Touch by R. Cayden

5.0

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book so much! The last couple of weeks I have been in a bit of a reading slump and this book snapped me out of it. Both Caesar and Drew surprised me so much. Neither of them is the typical nerd or older tattoo artist I was expecting. Drew is a lot more self assured and confident in himself while Ceasar isn't as dominating and a lot more shy and introverted than I thought.
More often than not I'm not a huge fan of big age gaps because there is always the danger of a severe power imbalance, especially if the older partner has a dominating personality. Luckily this is not the case here. It's obvious that Drew and Ceasar are on equal footing and they respect each other.
I haven't read the complete series, just the second book, which I did like, but I loved this one even more.
Highly recommend if you like a short, steamy romance.
