Publisher's summary

This cinnamon roll has plenty of bite!

Maxime Demers has had an eye on Tom Cedric for a while, watching him flit from one awful man to another. So when Tom pins an ad to the community cork board at Bold Brew, Max can’t resist reading it. Tom’s looking for a play partner - someone who’s not a jerk - and Max knows he could give Tom what he needs. But first he’ll have to get the man to talk to him.

Tom Cedric thinks Max is way out of his league. He’s handsome, intelligent, speaks a billion languages, and can make a person kneel with a single look - too damn good for someone like Tom. But he can’t resist the temptation to talk to the man he’s had a crush on since the moment he laid eyes on him.

The connection between them is immediate, hot, and tempting, and when Max needs a replacement helper for an impact demo he’s giving, Tom jumps at the chance. A demo should be safe, right? A few hours. Clothing on. No stakes. Neither man is prepared when that spark ignites, and Tom is absolutely unprepared to discover the sweet man behind those dominating looks.

Cinnamon Roll is a stand-alone novel in the Bold Brew shared universe, centered around an inclusive coffee shop in a fictional small city. Each steaming-hot coffee-shop romance can be enjoyed alone, but collect all 10 for the most fun!

This twist on a second-chance romance is a cup of steaming-hot scenes, a dusting of angst, plenty of fluff, and a guaranteed happy ending!

Lovely story

This really was as sweet as a cinnamon roll. Maxime has had an eye on Tom for a few years but never took a chance until Tom posted an ad looking for a Dom that he needed for a scene. A sweet and kinky relationship starts as Tom learns what a Dom/sub dynamic should truly be. Maxime is gentle and patient with Tom. And he bakes for him too, swoon! A lovely story brought to life by the amazingly talented Micheal Ferraiuolo. I could listen to him all day long

love this book

this is one of the best book i have listened to this year, i love the two mc in this book and the road they take to build there relationship with a little kink throw in this is a must listen to and michael did a great job like always

Yes this is a BDSM book but…

It’s really more about Tom Cedric and his exploration of his own love language. He advertises for a Play partner in Bold Brew and wants someone with no strings attached who is not an ass. He is aromantic and as a divorce lawyer this is expected.

Along comes Maxine Demers the sexiest Dom he’s been crushing on for years and as luck would have it Max is available. They negotiate how Max can fill that role but problem is Max is a Dom and a true romantic.

So now Tom is wondering maybe he’s had this all wrong. Maybe he isn’t really a sub but a masochist maybe he’s not aromantic but demi. You get the idea. Lots of self discovery and exploration and one of the reasons categories can be so limiting.

Great scene play in this book and I learned a lot. I was surprised that Tom was 36 and had so little self esteem around the power of his sexual self. But alls well that ends well and I thought it was well written
