Double Shot (Bold Brew Book 10)

I haven't yet read a series quite like this one. All centered in the same fictional-universe, all interconnected manuscripts, all editions by different authors. The Bold Brew series is a ten book installment by ten different fabulous people. The tenth and final book is titled: "Double Shot" (by #gwenmartin)

["Coffee, with a double shot of desire....

West is still floundering three years after a failed relationship spun his life out of control, and forced him to move back to his hometown. When he meets Rhys at Bold Brew, his curiosity sparks, and he wonders if the alluring photographer could be his shot at embracing the inner Little he suppressed in the past. Rhys's photos are a passionate exploration and call to West's needs and desires. 

Rhys loves to guide and nurture partners—then send them on their way. But something about West is different. The quiet man responds to Rhys's Daddy dominance in beautiful ways. And the camera loves him, too. 

When West agrees to a photoshoot, their chemistry ignites. Rhys and West are a perfect complement to one another's cravings. But can this double shot at love last as long as one of Rhys’s photographs, or will they drink their fill and move on?"]

West was first mentioned in book two (Puppuccino), as he's friends with Mason. And Rhys's best friend is Nick (from book seven, Fair Trade), but mentioned multiple other times throughout the series (like you expect me to remember each and ever one).

This book was a hard read only because they were both going through so damn much and emotionally struggling individually. But together? They brought the calm out after (and before) the storm.

Trigger warning: alcoholism/addiction (no relapse depicted on the page)

Also, a heads up (if you didn't catch it in the blurb), this series is very kink-friendly/forward (in a very, very healthy and communicative way). The Bold Brew coffee shop (the centering aspect of the series) is a LGBT and kink-friendly hub of the community. Just FYI, if you're not into that kind of thing.
