Second in the Last Call series, Gin & Sin follows Kit and Stewart. These are older MCs with Stewart navigating his way through exploring his sexuality following a divorce. This is a low angst high hear bi awakening story.
From the blurb:
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.
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 is book two in Last Call, a contemporary series set in the New Onyx universe. You can expect a guy bored with his current dating options, a handsome, recently divorced professor ready to embrace his sexuality, two opposites attracting, a detached bear turning puppy dog for the right guy, one fell first, the other fell harder, a casual friends with benefits becoming way more, an awesome group of friends, a quirky gay bar setting, and all the steam.
Rogue's review:
- Series
- Older MCs
- Awakening/Discovery
This is the second in the Last Call series, it's a different couple so can be read standalone, although I do highly recommend the first book. This is Kit and Stewart's story. Stewart is a Professor who's recently divorced after being married to a woman for a long time, and is discovering his attraction to men and wants to explore that. Kit is part owner of a bar with his friends, and is bored of the hooking up scene with younger guys. The attraction between the two is instant, and I loved how open Stewart was to exploring everything, and Kit was such a safe space for him to do that. I really liked these two together right from the start, and I was hooked into following their story and hoping there wasn't going to be a big event taking them away from each other.
I needn't have worried, this is relatively low angst - even though Stewart is new to dating men, he's teaching LGBTQ+ studies so is aware of everything, pretty much. It's hot too, the chemistry between the two is intense, not just in the bedroom, but I also loved how they took the time to become friends too. This is such a satisfying read, and while there's very little bumps in the road, the story isn't boring and kept me invested until the end. I really enjoyed this.
Lowen and Oakley next, please?
Molly Otto's review:
A well-balanced bi awakening low angst love story. As the second installment in the Last Call series, you get to see more of the core friends' relationships and how they support one another even when they don't always understand each other choices. Stewart & Kit is great in helping others find what it's like to be in a healthy relationship, allowing the other to grow but not judging. This is another great addition to this series, and I am looking forward to seeing how it is next up.

Heather's Review:
I really like where this Last Call series is going and book 2 was even better than the first one for me... I adore that these two mature men found each other and explored new sides of themselves... Stewart is exploring his queer side for the first time and Kit is exploring what it's like to be in a relationship. What begins as a more benefits style relationship grows over time... and it's lovely to watch both men as they come to their new truths. This story is well balanced and the plot moves in just the right way - you don't feel any part of the story is rushed or glossed over and I love how the communication between the two men is key. I can't wait to see where this series goes next.
