Gin & Sin by Mia Monroe

Helping him explore his attraction to men was supposed to be no strings fun, not turn me into a whipped puppy dog, but here we are.

Gin & Sin, an all-new opposites attract, friends with benefits, M/M romance and the second book in the Last Call series from bestselling author Mia Monroe is now available!

The college twink scene is wearing on me. Sure, it works out for a no-commitment guy like myself, but the constant drama and nameless rotation of pretty boys in and out of my bed isn’t as exciting as it once was. Maybe watching one of my best friends find love is poking at me too.

That’s what was on my mind when someone new walked into Moby’s looking lost, nervous, and extremely biteable. It only seemed right that I offered to keep him company, and when he readily accepted, I was looking forward to trying someone older, mature, and not looking for anything serious. Just like me.

He’s inexperienced when it comes to dating men, and I’m more than happy to introduce him to what he’s been missing. What I didn’t expect was the instant addiction I developed to his shy smile, his needy moans, and the way his sweet eyes linger on me. There’s no way one night is gonna be enough.

Stewart is smart, sweet, and gorgeous, and like my favorite cocktail, he’s got layers I’m interested in tasting. He’s lived a buttoned-up existence until now, but I think it’s time he tasted a little Gin and Sin. We might be opposites, but hopefully the balance of our relationship will be more sweet than sour.

Gin & Sin by Mia Monroe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stewart, newly divorced, out to discover if his attraction to men is truly what he wants for his life. He loves being a teacher but knows there is more out there for him. He just needs to be brave enough to reach for it. Kit isn’t dissatisfied with his life exactly. He’s opened Moby’s, a gay bar with his best friends, has his choice of hot young men every night, but he’s pretty sure there has to be more. When Stewart enters the bar Kit is intrigued with the man looking to explore his sexuality. Their just friends with benefits is doomed for failure from the beginning.

I enjoyed this book. Stewart was too mature and Kit wasn’t mature enough but they leveled each other out and created a sweet romance. I thought the author did a nice job of showing their growth together. The story was a little slow in places though.

Also there was a lot of interesting tidbits that I wasn’t aware of pertaining to the LGBT aspect of the book. I appreciated the author tying these into the story in a natural manner.

This group of friends are perfect together. Each offers something to their continuing friendship. Looking forward to the next book.

“Here you go, birthday boy.”

Florian, Moby’s bartender, slides a gorgeous orange and pink layered drink in my direction while my friends gather around me.

The bar has been open for more than six months, and we’re about to weather our first major semester break. We’ll find out how business goes when most students are out of town.

Indy squeezes my shoulder. “You gonna drink it or stare at it?”

“Definitely gonna drink it, ass.”

Indy chuckles, leaning on the bar next to me. “It looks tasty.”

Florian is busy pouring more of the fruity concoction into shot glasses for the guys. Hip-hop music plays from the overhead speakers, just loud enough to create a vibe but still allow for conversation. I lift my glass and take a sip, surprised by the tangy, sweet taste exploding on my tongue. I told Florian that for my signature drink, I wanted something gin based and that would lift spirits in the winter, reminding us of warmer days to come. He nailed it.

“This is incredible, Florian.”

He beams and nods. “It’s called Gin and Sin.”

“Ooh sin, huh?” Salem says from beside Indy. “Perfect name for our resident bad boy.”

“Is that what I am?”

Salem nods. “It was Indy, but he’s off the market.”

“Hey,” Ridley complains. “I thought I was the bad boy?”

Salem shakes his head. “Nope. You’re the wild one.”

“Do I even want to know your nickname for me?” Bane asks, his face scrunched in mock nervousness.

Salem chuckles. “It’s not that bad. I call you and Jerryn the twins.”

Jerryn’s cheeks turn bright red, but he shakes his head with a smile on his face. “It could be worse.”

“Way worse,” Bane says. “We’ll take it.”

“These look yummy,” Lowen coos as he takes one of the shot glasses Florian prepared. “And dangerous.”

“The fruity drinks always are,” Indy agrees.

“That’ll be good for profits,” Salem says. “And it’s so pretty, it’ll attract everyone.”

“You like it though, Kit?” Florian asks.

I nod, smiling. “Definitely worthy of a signature drink. Thanks, man.”

Florian smiles before wiping down the countertop. A few months ago, Salem had suggested we have a rotating signature drink for some fun marketing. It’s pretty genius. So far, we have a whiskey cocktail for Indy and the infamous dirty martini for Lowen. Now I have mine too. Gin and Sin. Fitting. I’m always down for an evening of sinful pleasure.
