One of Portland’s hottest
young baristas, Brady is famous for his java-topping flair, turning a
regular cup of joe into a work of art. Every Wednesday—aka “Knit
Night”—hordes of women and their needles descend on the coffeehouse, and
Brady’s feeling the heat. Into the fray walks a tall, dark, and
distractingly handsome stranger from New York. His name is Evren, and
he’s the sexy nephew of Brady’s sweetest customer, the owner of the yarn
shop down the street. He’s also got a killer smile, confident air, and
masculine charm that’s tying Brady’s stomach in knots. The smitten
barista can’t wait to see him at the next week’s gathering. But when he
tries to ask Evren out, his plans unravel faster than an unfinished
edge. If Brady hopes to warm up more than Evren’s coffee, he’ll have to
find a way to untangle their feelings, get out of the friend zone, and
form a close-knit bond that’s bound to last a lifetime…
I had a tough time with this book. I loved Brady's character! He seemed like a good guy and a person I would enjoy hanging out with. Evren, however, was narrow-minded, uncompromising, uptight and a bigot. I could not understand why someone like Brady would even entertain the thought of dating Evren. Not only did Evren have unconventional kinks and aversions to pretty normal things, he also had a very bigoted view of bisexuality. I understand he'd been hurt in the past, but his sweeping generalizations and inability to see others' points of view was troubling. Because of that, it was difficult for me to believe that these two men were in love and that their love would last.
