Pass me a cold brew because Georgia Cates has me downing and devouring her newest release that is on tap, STOUT. Ms. Cates has perfectly crafted a romance that was brewing with lots of raw emotions, steam, second chances, new beginnings and of course passion. You can definitely say that STOUT was a perfect blend of romance done right to have you drunk on Oliver Thorn.

“Three years ago, if a man like Oliver waltzed into my life, I wouldn’t have been this confident. This . . . determined. But Oliver has awakened something within me that had been dormant. It’s as if only he can bring that part of me alive again. I need it. I want him.”

Stout aka Oliver Thorn may have a talent in crafting beer but in this second installment of the Lovibond Series, Georgia Cates has crafted a story where two people with a broken past found a love that was all-consuming, blinding, and utterly beautiful where the past and present collided forcing two lovers to make a choice. To walk away or begin anew?



Oliver Thorn didn’t have the best childhood growing up until his sister and him were adopted into the Thorn family. And so when, Oliver finally made a name for himself and found a thriving career, he bought a house. What Oliver didn’t expect when he bought the house was to be intrigued by the sexy red-head neighbor, Adelyn Maxwell.

Adelyn and Oliver’s relationship is the kind of love where you know that these two belonged to each other as they were able to understand the broken pieces of their past. And with that common thread and understanding, they soon found themselves painting a vibrant love story filled with honesty, compassion, forgiveness, respect and love.

“Oliver is already proving to be a take-control kind of lover. It’s what I like. What I crave. What I need to be satisfied. A complete alpha. Nothing less will fulfill me and my needs.”

Unlike the first book, TAP, I found STOUT to be more emotionally charged, raw, and vulnerable than the first book. Oliver and Adelyn’s story was a second chance love story that gripped readers from the start. Both have a past. Both have scars. And together, both Oliver and Adelyn found the closure, love, and healing that they were looking for. I applaud Ms. Cates for writing a love story that brings awareness that the heart can heal, forgive, and love again. So if you are looking for a book where the author has brewed the right amount of hops, raw emotions, sexuality, forgiveness, love, and new beginnings then this book is for you. I absolutely adore this book because it had the perfect combination of raw emotions and steam!!! As always, Ms. Cates seduces her readers with her sinfully sexy prose while still maintaining a consuming love story that will warm our hearts. So if you are looking for a book, that will have you drunk on love then I highly recommend you to read STOUT by Georgia Cates. And trust me when I say that you would want to be drunk on Oliver Thorn and his alpha ways.
