A review by acanuckreader
Imperial Stout by Layla Reyne
3.0
Received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
My Thoughts:
This book probably would’ve been a little bit easier for me to understand if I had previously read the series which it had spun off of.
Since I did not, I was in for a tiiiiny bit of confusion. And when I say tiny I mean that there was a few times where I actually found myself re-reading things, and whole chapters to make sure I understood what the heck was going on.
That being said, the banter, camraderie and teamwork between almost all of the characters in this novel kind of made it for me.
Cam and Nic made up the rest. They were interesting enough to keep me looking, and trying to imagine the scenarios they found themselves in. The backstory was there just enough to keep me from putting down the book and wondering if I should read the whole other series first.
It was refreshing in a way to have there be two characters who were within the LGBTQIA+ family and not have it be the end of the world for other characters, like some huge big thing. Because frankly it shouldn’t be. The two characters were accepted, without argument. It was nice. I enjoyed it.
I think before I do read the second one I will give Reyne’s other series a lookie-loo so that I fully understand what is going on this time around 🙂
