A Guy Walks Into My Bar by Lauren Blakely

5.0

Description: Fitz, a 27 year old American NHL star is in London for a few days and meets Dean, a 31 year old British bartender/bar owner. Neither wants anything serious, but there is an instant connection/draw to every part of each other. 

Tropes: vacation fling, instalove despite both characters fighting it, passionate lovers/whirlwind romance, HEA 

Quote: 
“Flings are supposed to be wildly intoxicating. They’re meant to consume you for a few days, like a star that burns twice as bright, but half as long. You can bathe in the intensity for a few days, drape it over you, roll around in it. You can drink it up and swallow it down, savoring every drop, knowing it’ll be gone soon enough.”

Notes: 
-not a sports romance
-audiobook is duet narration by Joe Arden and Shane East with a full supporting cast  (5/5)
-both MCs are gay and out

Spice Rating: 4.5 🌶️  /5
Spicy Tags: lovemaking, top/bottom preference but a couple versatile scenes, topping from the bottom, mirror sex
Spicy Quote:
“Pleasure roars through me, intense wave after wave, and I want to just fuck into blissful oblivion, till we are drowning in orgasms. But Dean set the bar high earlier, and I am not going to fail. I am not going to come too soon. I rise up so I’m kneeling, grab his hips, and slam him hard on my cock. Which doesn’t help matters. But that’s okay. I know what I’m doing. I know how to slow down. And that’s what I do, stealing control back from him. I downshift like the music, like the low pulse of the playlist. I slow-fuck him like this, with long, leisurely thrusts, taking my sweet time, driving into him, then pulling out, almost, almost all the way, but not quite.”
