Puppuccino by Allison Temple

4.0

Puppucino is a sweet, fairly low angst, light kink romance between puppy dad, Charlie, and dog trainer, Mason.
My heart went out to Charlie within the first few pages of the book with the absolute chaos that his dog, Athena, manages to create. At his breaking point he contacts Mason for help. Mason was going to turn down Charlie but once he meets the man, he can't get him off of his mind knowing he is perfectly submissive, beautifully attractive and just wants help to train his dog. The two definitely have chemistry but Charlie's recent ex has caused him a lot of internal struggle with trusting himself and others. Mason's determined to put in the work though, knowing the outcome will be worth it.
I love these two together, Mason really knows how to handle/talk to Charlie that gets him out of his own head, something he desperately needs. This is a new development for Mason though as he'd much rather be around dogs than people. The bulk of the book focuses on the MC's, and their adorable dogs, with occasional input from other characters, the main one being Gavin, Charlie's sleazy ex.
A great addition to the Bold Brew series, which we only encounter as a visitor this time, and I'm looking forward to more from other authors.
I received an ARC and am happily giving a review.
