Fair Trade by Cate Ashwood
4.0
Fair Trade is the seventh book in the Bold Brew series and, whilst there's only a couple of visits to the coffee shop, there's also a little bit of kink to link it to the series too.
Nick has just moved back to town and Callum is not looking forward to working with a new rookie when they both take a night away from the stresses of everything and have a random hookup together a few miles outside of town. When it comes to meet their new colleagues at the station, it turns out Callum's new partner is none other than Nick.
It shouldn't be a problem to just say no to anything more between them but things got hot and heavy very quickly for the two men and an intense attraction keeps them coming back for more. Callum is the one turning Nick down as there's no fraternization at work but there's clearly something between them, from how well they match in the bedroom to how well they get along out of it, even working well together pretty much straight away. They are quite sweet together as there's a little bit of a push/pull going on with one wanting to go full steam ahead whilst the other is pulling. I enjoyed that part of the relationship and how things develop for them across the story. There's not a huge amount of angst which is good considering it's a shorter story but the story unfolds quickly enough and is moved through time at a speed that feels like it's a natural progression for the two men.
Another good addition to the series. It's light on the kink, with some dom/sub tendencies, and an enjoyable story overall.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.
