Hope on the Rocks (Rainbow Cove #4) [Adam & Quinn] by Annabeth Albert

This one was extremely sweet! Really happy Annabeth decided to give us this (final?) installment. While I don't really remember having a significant thought about Adam I ADORED all previous installments so I was really excited where she's going to take this one. Adam and Quinn were perfect for each other. While the "Daddy" kink was at times a bit OTT for me, I did understand where it was coming from for Quinn as well as why it was something that appealed to Adam from his side. 

Adam Ringer works as a bartender in the Tavern he and his two other partners own. He enjoys his job but it's not the only thing he has on his plate. There's also his mother's business he helps in quite a bit as well as his sister and her kid (though they are away to Alaska till the end of summer). His days are long and exhausting so it's no wonder he has no interest in a relationship at the moment. 

Doctor Quinn Strauss has moves to Rainbow Cove not that long ago. He likes the small town and its residents and though he doesn't have a social life he still manages to fill his life with things he enjoys. Yet we start the book when he is at his lowest, sitting at the bar in front of Adam looking to get drunk and forget his sorrows. While Adam enjoys seeing this side of the more reserved Quinn he also can't let anything happen to him so when the night is over he offers his a ride home. 

Lumber Jacked (Rainbow Cove, #3) [Johnny & Cam] by Annabeth Albert

Oh, I LOVED this one. What a sweet kinky little novella. Though frankly it felt like so much more somehow. I also really appreciated the bonus chapter we get in the newer version. This started out as a free read and now it's up on Amazon for 99 cents with a real bonus treat! Highly recommend you get this newer version even if - like me - you already got the free shorter one.

We've met Johnny briefly in the previous installment. Curtis "warned" Logan he wouldn't be his type and hinted to bondage. As it seems that's exactly Johnny''s thing, and he has made a sexy hobby out of it, one new in town vlogger Cam is intrigued to try.

Tender with a Twist (Rainbow Cove #2) [Curtis & Logan] by Annabeth Albert

This book was special. It's not my go-to read, and I had my issues with it because I wasn't sure Logan's need to dominate "worked" for me, but in the end, it didn't really matter, because a relationship isn't built solely on the sexual interaction. Sure, it's important but it's not everything. Curtis and Logan, on the outside, seem total opposite yet somehow they each brought into the other's life exactly what they needed. Not because they were perfect, no, it was their imperfection and their need to be there for the other even when their future didn't feel like possible. So even if you're not into kink (pain\bondage) there is SO MUCH more to this story and I ask you to give it a go.

We've already met both Curtis and Logan in the previous installment. Logan Rosner is one of the three owners of the new tavern in Rainbow Cove. Logan had a comfortable life in Portland, but he wanted something different. He wanted freedom, a place to express the person he really is, and not the one people expect him to be. Being the Chef of the tavern, getting to make and decide on the menu makes him happy like nothing in the past did. Yeah they might be struggling but he hopes and believes they can overcome it. This town has totally captured his heart and he doesn't want just the tavern to succeed he wants the town itself to do better as well.

The few times Curtis Hunt came to the tavern with his long time friend Nash (the MC in the previous installment) he was his usual self - grumpy. He has changed the last two years after losing the love of his life. He had it all, a partner he adored, a future together, true happiness. But he lost it all and now, besides his work as a chainsaw wood carver, nothing truly brings him joy, including the shy kid who makes THE best vegan food (even though he won't admit that to ANYONE). 

Trust with a Chaser (Rainbow Cove #1) [Mason & Nash] by Annabeth Albert

OUTSTANDING. This book was simply a TREAT to read. I loved everything about this book. My only complaint would be - life getting in the way of my reading and it's HARDLY Annabeth's fault now is it? Clearly when I plan on reading one of her books I should know better than read it in a busy weekend ;) Mason and Nash have very complicated lives even if on paper they are basically doing great. Yet they are both lonely and have a hard time dealing with what life and mostly other people expect them to do or even BE.

Nash Flint is the chief of Police in Rainbow Cove like his deceased father and though he is proud of his work and is basically married to the job he is grumpy and lonely. It's hard being gay and not allowing yourself to even be in a relationship because he doesn't want the gossip but mostly because he doesn't want to disappoint said dead father and mother (who isn't even living in Rainbow Cove anymore..). He knows what to do about his job but he sure doesn't know what to do with his personal life, especially when Mason Hanks returns to town. Exactly the WRONG guy to be tangled with. He might be the white sheep in the VERY black sheep family of Hanks but it's still not a good idea.
