"Kele Moon dishes up the perfect blend of sweetness, sand and seduction!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Starfish and Coffee
Kele Moon

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan
Posted December 18, 2012

LGBTQ Romance

Kele Moon travels back into Alex and Matt's past in a series of flashbacks that helps build the relationship between Matt and Alex. Seeing these glimpses further cemented their passion for one another. However, years later, Alex and Matt find themselves face to face once again, recalling those repressed memories that leave a bitter taste. There were two things I loved about STARFISH AND COFFEE. I love the way Moon was able to create two distinct heroes that were different in social class and personality and still have them complement each other nicely when they are together. I loved how cocky Alex was, yet he was so readily able to admit that he has fallen in love. I also enjoyed how Matt was seen as a polished gentleman but wasn't afraid to voice his beliefs. Overall, I found that Moon created likeable characters that readers can't help but be interested in. The other thing is that STARFISH AND COFFEE has a small town feel to it. I love small town Contemporary romances, but it's nice to see an M/M romance that shares those attributes as well. The overall tone felt inviting and relaxing and paired with some hot sex and likeable characters, and you've got the perfect weekend read! Kele Moon dishes up the perfect blend of sweetness, sand and seduction!

SUMMARY

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. Wanting an escape, Matt heads to Mirabella Island off the coast of Florida for a year of relaxation and a few 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. Knowing Matt should be off limits, 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
