As the third of the Bold Brew series, Perfect Matcha was a fun read that matched the overall tone set by other two books. It was light and digestible. An easy read. Erin McLellan's writing style was definitely more accustomed to my tastes. Her descriptions and use of imagery felt a step up from those of the previous authors. I also loved her seamless inclusion of consent into the sex scenes. Theo and Camden were so considerate and careful not to take advantage of each other during their bouts of lust, never assuming consent but always waiting for consent to be explicitly expressed. That being said, this book did fall a bit flat for me.

While I have been enjoying the Bold Brew series, I'm getting rather tired of the general sameness of the books. Theo and Camden were different characters, but like the previous couples, they have explosive chemistry and awesome sex only to fail to admit their love for each other until the very end. Now this general plot is fine. I have no problems with it. But when it is used for the third time in the same series and in the same short-length format as the previous books, it fails to bring anything new to the table. Though the friends-to-lovers trope had not been used before, the conflict of misunderstanding and refusing to confess one's true feelings was the exact same. The reason I'm relating this problem with book length is because I do not think I would have noticed this similarity if all of the novels had expanded their stories and fleshed out each of their couples more.

Nonetheless, the Bold Brew series is quite fun and perhaps I'll return to it sometime later. But right now, I need a break. The similarities I noticed were perhaps the fault of me reading each book one after the next. While the series is easy to binge, I recommend not going down that path for a better reading experience.
