Blurb(s):

In Portland, Oregon, the only thing hotter than the coffee shops, restaurants, and bakeries are the hard-working men who serve it up—hot, fresh, and ready to go—with no reservations…

Robby is a self-employed barista with a busy coffee cart, a warm smile, and a major crush on one of his customers. David is a handsome finance director who works nearby, eats lunch by himself, and expects nothing but “the usual”—small vanilla latte—from the cute guy in the cart. But when David shows up for his first Portland Pride festival, Robby works up the nerve to take their slow-brewing relationship to the next level. David, however, is newly out and single, still grieving the loss of his longtime lover, and unsure if he’s ready to date again. Yet with every fresh latte, sweet exchange—and near hook-up—David and Robby go from simmering to steaming to piping hot. The question is: Will someone get burned?

First in the new Portland Heat series!

Excerpt:

A little idea niggled at my brain—like an evil elf had tapped me on the shoulder. “You know, if you give me your card, I could call you if you leave your wallet behind again.”

There. His cheeks went dusky pink. I finally got a blush out of him, but hell if I could decipher what it meant. I could predict people’s taste in coffee, down to preferred syrup flavor, but I still sucked at decoding anything as complex as human emotions.

“Ah. Um.” He did the nervous cough thing again.

“Never mind.” I wiped my hands on my apron. “I’d better get back.”

“Wait.” He opened the wallet, plucked out a white card with a blue logo, and offered it to me. His broad fingers brushed mine again as he handed it over. Another barely there touch, but I felt the charge all the way down my spine, like I’d chugged a triple shot.

My breath tripped with wishing he’d add a “call me anytime.” Brian would have. But David just stood there silently. Straighter than the Fremont Bridge and denser than a concrete pylon.

Christina’s Review:
Served Hot (Portland Heat, #1)Served Hot by Annabeth Albert

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

i’ve really come to like ms. albert’s writing. novellas are usually hard for me usually…i never feel like a get enough and then it’s done. i felt like this was pretty complete with character and story development. i did think robby was a bit wishy-washy too long. he knew he’d have to be the more aggressive of the two in the relationship based on david’s past but he seemed to take too long to just say what he wanted. david was a bit naive if his ‘relationship’ with craig went of for 12 years and he didn’t see it for what it was. he showed signs of strength at times just to let it fade away with uncertainty. there were several sweet ‘aw’ moments (like the very last paragraph) and overall i liked david and robby. i will definitely be reading book 2!
