This is the first story in the Haven's Cove/Beyond the Cove series that I have read, and aside from a LOT of character names and how they're all related to each other thrown at the reader at the beginning of the story, I found that it was very easy to jump into Zach and Drew's story. (However, I really enjoyed this one, so I'll be going back to the start of this series very soon to read more about these characters!)

Drew, aged 28, has been infatuated with his boss, Zach, aged 40. Drew now works at the bar that Zach owns, and is still trying to get Zach to admit that he's just as interested. I love me some age gap stories, and the chemistry between Drew and Zach was sexy and fun! I also kinda loved Drew's side job.

This story has some nice mystery wrapped up in it as well - someone is stalking Drew, and although he thinks it's harmless at first, the mystery stalker begins amping up their tactics. Zach, who is a bit too self-sacrificing and trying to be good at keeping Drew off-limits, takes it upon himself to rescue Drew, and this allows their relationship to really grow and deepen.

I never really guessed who the stalker was before the big reveal (although it also, like, didn't work for me? Maybe if I had read previous stories to know these characters better it would have more meaning). I really was here for the romance, and I really enjoyed reading about Zach and Drew falling from lust to love.

Can't wait for some of these other guys to get their story - I want to know more about Grant, Mason, and especially moody Sawyer! He must have a story!

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.
