Starfish and Coffee by Kele Moon

 

Book Blurb:

 On the island where they first met two lovers from opposite sides of the tracks are reunited. Now jaded and broken, Alex and Matt still can’t deny their sizzling connection or the memories of one perfect, uninhibited year together.

At twenty-two, Matt Tarrington is rich, good-looking and destined to be powerful, but behind that confident exterior lurks a man who resents the life his family thrust upon him. Desperate for an escape, Matt heads to Mirabella Island off the coast of Florida for a year of relaxation and some wild nights with vacationing party-girls.

Matt never expected to find real passion in the arms of Alex Hunter, a handsome, laid-back local.

Alex is gay, but closeted. Matt should be completely off limits, but Alex finds the deeply in denial rich boy too tempting to ignore. Especially when a bet has them working together, fighting the heat in the rundown, beachside cafe where Alex sweats for every dollar.

Their love felt inevitable until youth left them vulnerable to hatred and greed. Now after six years of hating the lives they live, Alex and Matt will have to risk it all for the second chance they both desperately need

Angie J's Review:

I bought this book because my friend and fellow Blogger Denise was going on and on and on and on and on about this book so I said "If Denise likes, I will as well".  We have very similar book tastes.  Man oh man am I glad I met her.  She NEVER steers me wrong with book advise.  WOW! HAWT! SEXY! DELICIOUS! and GESH I need to reread that like NOW!

I have to say before I even begin my review....I love love love books where people fall in love.  The sex can be M/M, F/F, M/F, M/F/M, or annnny other way to make a relationship work.  I love people falling in love.  I love the fact that I can read a story about different relationships other then "traditional" M/F .  If you are not as "open" as I am with my "Free Love" thinking, this book is prolly not for you.  Matt and Alex have some steamy...strike that......FRIGGING HAWT, burn you up and leave you panting sex.  *Wipes my forehead and gulps down my sweet tea*

I have to say my favorite scene in this book is when Alex and Matt have their first "encounter" on the beach.  Matt is really pushing Alex to admit he and Holly are just friends and not an item like the town believes.  I love how Matt and Alex can be steamy and sexy with each other and then joking and totally giving each other crap like friends.  I feel bad that the town Alex lives in and Matt is visiting is so close minded to homosexuality.  It is very sad that they have to hide their love for each other.  i have always been open and supportive so I feel for anyone who can't be open about who they care for like I can be.....ok off my soap box........

Well lets just say Alex and Matt part ways due to lies told by another person.  They spend the 6 years trying to make it a go of life but knowing their soul mate is not near...life sucks.  Matt decided to visit and SPARKS FLY!!!  The couple try to re-create what they had but will it stick or is this the closure they both need?????  Guess you better read and find out then huh!!!

A freckle-faced redhead born and raised in Hawaii, Kele Moon has always been a bit of a sore thumb and has come to enjoy the novelty of it. She thrives on pushing the envelope and finding ways to make the impossible work in her story telling. With a mad passion for romance, she adores the art of falling in love. The only rules she believes in is that, in love, there are no rules and true love knows no bounds.

So obsessed is she with the beauty of romance and the novelty of creating it, she’s lost in her own wonder world most of the time. Thankfully she married her own dark, handsome, brooding hero who has infinite patience for her airy ways and attempts to keep her grounded. When she leaves her keys in the refrigerator or her cell phone in the oven, he’s usually there to save her from herself. The two of them now reside in Florida with their three beautiful children, who make their lives both fun and challenging in equal parts—they wouldn’t have it any other way.
