Review: Delivered Fast by Annabeth Albert
SYNOPSIS:
Portland, Oregon, aka Hotlandia, where the coffee shops, restaurants, and bakeries are ready to serve everything piping hot, fresh, and ready to go—like the hard-working, hard-bodied men behind the counters—with no reservations…
Sure, Chris O’Neal has problems. His restaurant is still co-owned by his ex. His flannel-and-tattoos style is making him accidentally trendy. He can’t remember the last time he went out and had fun. But he’s not lonely, he’s driven. And the hot bakery delivery boy is not his problem, no matter how sweet his buns.
Chris is old enough to know Lance Degrassi’s sculpted good looks and clever double entendres spell nothing but trouble. Lance is still in college—he should be hitting the clubs and the books, chasing guys his own age, not pursuing some gruff motorcycle-riding workaholic. Especially when he’ll be leaving for grad school in a few months. But Lance keeps hanging around, lending a hand, charming Chris to distraction. Maybe some steaming hot no-strings indulgence won’t hurt.
Then again, maybe it will…
REVIEW:
Another quick, sweet, sexy, age-gap romance from Annabeth Albert. I really loved the contrast between Chris and Lance. They had fantastic chemistry but as their relationship progresses, its clear that they develop into so much more. And while Chris sees himself and his past regrets in Lance. But Lance proves himself to be the headstrong, fire-cracker who is endearingly determined and wise beyond his years.
There were definitely moments where I wanted to yell at Chris but luckily Lance has a big heart and is able to forgive. Once Chris and Lance have it out, they finally nail down the whole transparent communication thing and the ending, it was so cute and sweet I found myself swooning. It was just a delightful, light-hearted romance that was the perfect quick read and left me with a smile on my face.
