Can Frostwick Harbor support two very different coffee shops? And can the owners work together for the upcoming town festival competition while falling in love?
From the blurb:
Caleb arrives in Frostwick Harbor determined to make Cloud Nine Coffee a success. His café is full of seasonal drinks, mismatched tables, and chatty customers. Caleb gets along with everyone, and he can’t understand why the gorgeous, sharp-tongued man at Frost + Foam refuses to speak to him.
When the Harvest Festival committee pressures them into collaborating on a signature fall drink, Rhys reluctantly agrees. He knows working side by side with Caleb will be torture. Not because they disagree on everything about coffee, but because Rhys finds Caleb far too hot and intriguing. Caleb’s warmth slips past Rhys’s defenses, and Rhys gives up control of more than just lattes.
But Caleb wants a relationship lived openly, while Rhys has spent his whole life avoiding scrutiny and small-town gossip. Falling for Caleb means embracing attention, vulnerability, and the terrifying possibility of being truly seen.
As autumn settles over Frostwick Harbor, Rhys must choose between protecting the ordered life he's always known and taking a chance on the man who makes him want more
Harvest Heat is a cozy MM romance with plenty of spice featuring grumpy/sunshine dynamics, opposites attract, small-town charm, a neurodivergent hero, and plenty of fall vibes.
SNik's review:
First in series (Frostwick Harbor). Small town. Grumpy/sunshine. Neurodivergent representation. Dual POV.
Caleb is new to town and bringing flavorful coffee creations with him, but Rhys is worried another coffee shop in Frostwick Harbor will be competition. The attraction is mutual, but Rhys doesn’t want to face the scrutiny of the town gossip, but Caleb isn’t willing to have their budding relationship stay a secret.
This story has a cute premise with possible rival coffee shop owners risking the chance it will fall apart and they will have to remain friendly in a small town versus finding love. Rhys sends all kinds of mixed signals to Caleb, but it is part of his personality and the fact that Caleb continues to wait patiently as Rhys struggles was really admirable and sweet. The supportive cast of characters were really nice as they root for Caleb and Rhys and the culmination of the town festival and declaring their relationship to the town was fun to read. Overall, a nice and cozy romance with some back and forth for two guys that get their well-deserved HEA.
