Perfect Matcha by Erin McLellan

PERFECT MATCHA was such a great read and since I’m a sucker for friends to lovers it hit all the right spots. Cam and Theo have been friends for a long time but Cam is afraid to admit his feelings because he doesn’t want to lose Theo’s friendship if the relationship doesn’t work out. These two have so much pining and longing and I just wanted everything to work out for them because I loved them so much. Theo is especially precious and needs to be protected at all costs because he’s just too good for this world. He's a bit awkward and lacks some self-confidence but he's just the sweetest. In contrast, Cam is outgoing and extroverted but they balance each other out well. I also adored all the little ways Cam cared for Theo and understood him and loved him even when Cam wasn’t admitting it out loud.

Of course their friendship takes an unexpected turn when Theo asks Cam to set him up with someone and Cam suggests his boss, Hawk, who owns the local sex toy shop. Theo is immediately intimidated because of his lack of experience with sex toys and what starts out as a generous gift of toys from Cam turns into some very sexy phone calls and hands on lessons. These two had so much chemistry and I loved watching Theo discover his own interests in the bedroom. I do wish they had figured things out between them a little sooner but that's only because my heart was breaking for Cam and how much he quietly loved Theo.

One of the best things about Erin McLellan’s books is the way she normalizes sex toys and how they can be great for singles and for couples. I’m never disappointed with her books.
