BLURB:

One too many…
Doctor Quinn Strauss is beloved by his small-town patients. He almost never drinks, especially not alone on a weeknight. But he’s heartbroken over an unexpected reminder of exactly how much his bad breakup has cost him. And the sexy ginger bartender keeps making him special drinks that go down a little too easy.

Take a drunk doc home…
Bartender Adam Ringer can tell when someone’s hurting, and the heroic local doctor is practically radiating pain. Adam’s a natural caretaker and can’t help but spring to Quinn’s rescue. And when the drunk and rambling Quinn reveals a mutual sexy interest, Adam’s other instincts are intrigued. He can’t wait for Quinn to sober up.

All mixed up…
When Adam offers Quinn a chance to explore secret desires he’s long repressed, Quinn finds himself saying yes to a summer fling with the younger Daddy bear. Falling in love isn’t part of the plan, but amid all their steamy encounters and intimate exchanges, a deep, emotional bond is forged. Summer is nearly over. Real life pressures are mounting. Can they grow enough to find a way to forever?

Hope on the Rocks is a brand-new, full-length Rainbow Cove novel featuring a younger Daddy and a doctor convinced he’s too old to follow his secret desires. Contains a lot of sexy exploration, opposites attract, loads of feels, and a guaranteed happy ending. No age play or cliffhangers! 

REVIEW:

Yay! We finally got to return to Rainbow Cove and got our bartender’s sweet and sassy story!

Adam is just a bartender, nothing special…at least in his own mind. He tends to undervalue himself. He discounts that he is part owner of the Rainbow Tavern. And he is always there for those he loves, even at the expense of his own health and private time. But he has a very secret side that most never see. You see, deep down inside he’s a true daddy. He loves to nurture and care for his boy. When Quinn comes in to get toasted he can’t help but take seriously how wasted he got so fast. And how wonderful that felt for both men no matter how lousy and embarrassed Quinn felt the next morning. But would the handsome new doctor be willing to have a summer fling and explore his true needs?

Let’s face it…I have fallen for all these guys and their kinky partners in this series and Annabeth may just have saved the best for last! I truly fell for both these guys and just needed for them to work out. From Quinn and his lack of willingness to try for something that he not only wants but truly needs because he feels he’s too old and that ship has sailed. And Adam worried that because he’s younger he might not be accepted as Quinn’s daddy. The truth is they are the perfect blend for each other to really stop and experience life in the moment.

I did love that Adam’s mom and sister were not only supportive of their relationship but encouraged Adam and Quinn. They saw that these two guys were really special together.

The only thing that I hated about this story is that I have to say goodbye to my guys and their partners at Rainbow Tavern. I absolutely loved all their stories and don’t want to go. Not only is it set in one of the most beautiful, scenic and serene parts of the country that I love but it was such an accepting and welcoming community. I really hope that we will get a follow up novella that includes all the relationships and how they are doing someday.
