Nolan isn’t too old for me, no matter what he says … I started coming to the coffee shop to work on my novel, but I keep coming back to watch Nolan, the hot as hell alpha who owns the place. So what if he’s a few─okay several─years older than me? I know that I belong in his bed and in his life.
Nolan’s been hurt by young omegas before and I need to convince him that we could be the real thing. He gets me like no one ever has and I yearn to be his.
But when a post on my blog sparks controversy, I’m suddenly in danger and Nolan thinks it’s all my fault. Are we really over before we begin? Or can Nolan and I find a way to overcome the threats and take our chance at love?
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Once I started I could not put the book down from start to finish you just could not get enough with twists and turns hot and steamy like a rollercoaster ride of emotions that makes you want more of Theo and Nolans story. Nolan having a hard time trusting people but Theo does not care about age or anything. Can they get it together or do they part ways. Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

I loved the build up of this book. Nolan and Theo dance around each other for the first half of this book. So when they finally come together it’s amazing. But there is definitely obstacles in their way to their happy ending. And they are definitely not good. They will have to fight for the love, their beliefs and their lives. But in the end they get their super sweet HEA. Highly recommend this book and everything else from this author!

Nolan and Theo have both been hurt in relationships before, Nolan by one particular young omega he was very serious about who was cheating on him with multiple other partners and made of him about it when he found out. Theo came home one day and found his alpha with another omega. Each man dealt with it in exactly opposite ways. Nolan shut down and stopped having relationships at all, Theo by going on lots of dates but never getting serious. However, when they meet in Nolan's coffeeshop sparks fly. Theo is a popular blogger about dating, sex, alpha/omega issues, etc. and Nolan has been a fan even before they met. At first, Nolan shuts down any emotions attached to Theo (or tries to) but Theo is a strong, serious omega who goes after what he wants and he want Nolan. Once they have a long talk and sort through their pasts, the relationship heats up very quickly. One complication in their happy world is the fact that Theo has a stalker. This provides a nice mystery subplot, but also allows the author to quite naturally introduce three aspects to the story: 1) it allows us to see that Theo is a capable young omega who can take care of himself but 2) it allows Nolan's alpha protective instincts to come out in a logical way and 3) we get to see them negotiate how they will handle power and independence in their relationship. Then, however, things get much more dangerous and serious. Stalking doesn't begin to cover what happens. After incident one, words are said between Nolan and Theo that end their relationship. Incident two separates them not just emotionally but into different cities and finally, the third and most dangerous incident allows for Nolan to face his true feelings, find the book Theo has been working on and makes everything right. The stalker plot is rather hurriedly wrapped up at the end, but that does not detract from enjoying the book and the Epilogue puts the perfect icing on their happy even after cake.
A sweet, enjoyable, second-chance MM romance with a well-written, intriguing plot filled with some complex situations. The unique characters have likable personalities & are quite interesting although the alpha was inclined to alternate between warm & welcoming to cold & standoffish. There is good support from the secondary characters. There is: a young male omega (Theo) & blogger for “TheoSpeaks” goes to a coffee shop (Brewed Delights) & becomes attracted to the owner (a older alpha male, Nolan) but does not seem very interested in Theo but over time they become closer then the situation changes when problems start to occur, friendship, drama, intrigue, secrets, a stalker, threats, danger, violence, site hacking, judgmental attitudes, confrontations, insults, anger, attempted arson, attacks, attractions, frustration, verbal banter, fantasies, memories, flirting, jealousy, verbal conflict, misunderstandings, regrets, worry, apologies, compromises, some steam & a satisfying conclusion.
I love this book from beginning to end. It's an emotional story with all the feels. I love age gap stories and this one has an outspoken omega, Theo, who isn't going to be bullied. He enjoys speaking his mind and discussing topics on his web videos. And alpha, Nolan, who's just trying to live his life as a coffee shop owner and getting over his past relationships. Little does Nolan know that Theo is going to turn his world upside down and inside out, in the best possible way. They are so sweet together and I'm really glad they found each other. The end is a new beginning for them. In the end I'm glad Nolan decided to help Jonas out. His kindness can be an example for all of us. Jonas was a good kid and just needed someone to care about him and help him make better decisions for himself. I highly recommend this book and this wonderful series.

I really enjoyed this book and the twists and turns that it gave the readers. I liked reading about the characters and what they had to go through in order for them to be together, showing that the feelings that they have for each other are truly genuine. Reading this book allows the readers to experience the characters happy and sad moments and to go through the emotional turmoil right along with the characters. Reading about how Nolan's trust has been broken before by someone with similar characteristics to Theo, and how he must get over these issues if he truly wishes to have a relationship with Theo goes to show you that sometimes you have to trust someone, no matter how much you wish you didn't. I am glad that I got the opportunity to read this book and look forward to reading more books by the author in the future.

Theo frequents a coffee shop not only for their great coffee but to ogle the hot alpha who owns the place Nolan. Theo thought he felt a spark between himself and Nolan but Nolan won’t give him the time of day so he starts to think it was all in his imagination.
Nolan has been hurt by countless younger omegas. He knows there’s a spark between Theo and himself but he’s reluctant to get involved with such a younger omega.
Theo is persistent and Nolan finds he can’t resist him. He gives them a chance and everything is going perfectly until Theo posts a blog that inadvertently puts them both in danger. Things can be over between them before they even begin.
I loved the chemistry between Theo and Nolan. Theo has a great fun personality and I enjoyed reading about his antics. Nolan and Theo balanced each other out perfectly. Another great read in this series.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
This is the amazing story of Theo and Nolan. Theo is an internet star, with his own channel and he's had his eye on Nolan. Nolan is the owner of a local coffee shop, he settled here to get away from a heartbreaking past and has sworn off younger omegas. He recognizes Theo right away the first time he sees him in his coffee shop and catches himself to hide his instant attraction. He will not fall for another young omega. Theo's crush on Nolan is growing every day and he can't resist to flirt and see if he can get a reaction from Nolan. Will Nolan be able to resist him? The characters have great backstories, complexity to their personality and set in their ways. The storyline has it all! Suspense, intrigue, twists and turns, passion, you can help but be hooked and keep reading. A fabulous read!

This really was a wonderful alpha/omega book. Nolan an older alpha has been burned in the past by younger omegas and really is hesitant about getting involved again. Theo (the younger omega) is a serial dater and a social butterfly. He notices the big burly alpha and is instantly attracted. The two slowly get to know one another and their romance grows. They know the attraction (very steamy) is there but both want to make sure its real. Their love is tested by an awful act of violence but they were able to overcome and get back on track. After they cleared up all the misunderstandings their HEA was truly lovely. I can't say how much I loved this story. It was sweet and certain parts had me tearing up a bit. I highly recommend this author and his wonderful stories. I'm truly a fan.

This was a really good story from start to finish about letting one’s past dictate future behavior. Nolan owned a coffee shop and noticed the brash omega, Theo, when he started coming in regularly. But Nolan let his past experience with omegas keep him skeptical about another such relationship. Fortunately, the stubborn Theo would not give up and walk away. Will Theo’s persistence pay off and make Nolan take another look at a new relationship? Or will alpha stubbornness win out and make them both lose their chance for a HEA?
The characters are great in this book. The story line is intriguing, made so by the dynamic between the alpha and the omega, their personalities and experiences. Even a stalker is thrown in for added suspense! Grab your copy and see if the energetic Theo can change Nolan’s mind. After all, Nolan was already one of his fans!
You're never too old to fall in love. Nolan, owner of Brewed Delights dedicated himself to his business while avoiding entanglements with Omegas. Sam, an ex really put him though it and left him with supersized baggage. Theo, a free spirit blogger and waiting for his muse to nudge him is a sweet Omega hoping his 'one' will show up soon. When they first met, they each felt the 'moment'. Theo wanted to pursue it, Nolan shut it down. They danced around each other for a time, then with a little help from their friends took a few steps. Nice story, a bit slow but it plods through. Theo and Nolan were absolutely delightfule and all their friends were nice guys. Will Nolan let Theo in? Will Theo be patient with Nolan? I am sad this is the end, it would be fun to hear about his brother and his doctor friend. I received an ARC from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is an mm omegaverse story and if you have ever read this all author that's pretty much all he writes and sometimes it's the perfect read when I'm looking for some super sweet with a little angst. I really enjoyed all his books so far and this was a little slow going but I really enjoyed it. It was super cute and sweet with a little bit of heartbreaking moments where there were misunderstandings between the characters.Both characters had their own insecurities they needed to work on and I enjoyed all the character growth throughout the story.The story was enjoyable and so were th characters and I got through this one pretty quickly. I recieved an Arc copy of this one in exchange for an honest review.
Theo is enthralled by Nolan the owner of Brewed Delights where he goes for coffees. Brewed Delights is where Omega Theo Hudson goes when he wants a coffee, to meet friends and to ogle the owner Alpha Nolan Morris who he wants but who refuses to respond to any of Theo's attempts to engage his interest. Theo has his own video show where he gives his outspoken views and has a large following but also some haters.When he finds out that Nolan is one of his followers he wonders if he does like him but is holding back. Nolan is an older man who has been burnt by younger men before and by one very badly so that although drawn to Theo he resists for fear of getting hurt.

Nolan and Theo are not so secretly attracted to each other but Nolan has been burned by a younger omega before and is leery of taking a chance and Theo is a bit self conscious about how outspoken he is. Their journey is off to a slow start but although they have doubts, their chemistry is undeniable and they soon learn they have a lot in common. This story is well written with fully developed characters that connect well and are full of passion, there are great friends that enrich the story, some threats, danger, violence, laughs, tears, and more that leads to a genuine love and a satisfyingly sweet HEA.

Theo and his videos are very popular. His on point commentaries about living your truth and standing for who you are and what you believe draw the ire of a creepy dude or two.
Nolan is an older guy, business owner, and he has had his heart broken by a younger guy more than once.
Together these two could be an amazing combo, if they can face their fears, and survive the destructive efforts of small minded creeps.
Motivating story that is also a hot m/m romance

How does one make his heart throb see the writing etched on his heart? Taylor wants more than anything to belong to Nolan but Nolan just can't see or acknowledge those desires from such a younger omega. After all Nolan has bee hurt in the past and just can't bring himself to deal with all that emotional turmoil. But, if anything, Taylor is persistent. It's only when Taylor is the victim of an obsessed (is there any other kind) stalker does Nolan step up with his heart and physical presence. An enjoyable December/May read and one that I'm writing an ARC review of honestly and voluntarily via the ARC I received from theLesCourt ARC team.
Theo is an unusual omega. He is outspoken and does not like to conform. He runs a Vlog, called THEO SPEAKS. One of the things he really does enjoy in life is a good mocha and a cafe nearby has the perfect one, That it also has an owner with a strong sex appeal, is a bonus.. When someone goes beyond trolling the Vlog, things get out of hand. A second chance at love for both, the coffeeshop owner, Nolan, and for Theo. Both had been burnt before... A typical Austin Bates story. Taking the risk, breaking apart and finally back together again, Despite the predictability a good read with lovable characters.

A really sweet story about being your authentic self and not letting your fears rule your life. Theo was an absolute sweetheart and Nolan had been deeply hurt so he had absolutely no intention of letting Theo get anywhere with his flirting, not to mention he felt he was way too old for him. The slow-burn run of their relationship was really sweet to see unfolding, and when Theo faced a threat that pulled Nolan in, he didn't have the best reaction because of his fears and insecurities concerning Theo. Things ended on a sour note until an almost tragic incident caused Nolan to reassess his priorities and fix their relationship.
A stubborn Alpha (Nolan) lets the past effect his present is attracted to an Omega (Theo) who has fallen for him. Nolan is a fan of Theo's but doesn't know that the Theo that comes into the shop is THAT Theo, initially. This story was a delight to read, it certainly was entertaining to read about an Omega running after an Alpha , and it seems that the omega likes to push boundaries.
There is danger, hurt feelings, intrigue and of course drama that pulls you in and keeps you hooked until the end. I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This alpha/omega story follows Theo & Nolan. I love when books show both sides of the characters instead of one point of view. it allows you to see you how they both think and helps the reader understand them more.
Nolan has had trouble in the past with younger omegas but that doesn’t stop Theo. Even when trouble arises they stick together and this story has its HEA.
The characters, storyline, romance, intrigue, and drama is great in this book. You’ll need to pick it up and read it yourself to find why people love this author so much!
Theo has his eye on really handsome coffee store owner Nolan, Nolan is scared to starts something with someone who is younger since being burned in the pass but with small glances and flirty winks things are brewing (pun intended) between them until someone is trying to hurt Theo.
This is part 6 of the second chance series each book is a standalone book you do see some of the characters come in from previous books. I enjoyed the book different from the normal Alpha and omega books this time it’s the omega who is pursuing the alpha. Recommend it.
Here we're back at Brewed Delights where The o starts to turn up daily to write his book & to drool over Manager/Owner Nolan. Where we saw them at the end of Competing For His Heart, when Hunter wanted his delightful decaf coffee. So it's here we see them become closer as 'friends' which slowly becomes closer until things spills from Theo's personal site into Nolan's café disastrously. I found this episode was quite slow moving though found myself having tears pouring down during a period of time.
Theo and Nolan had hard life when small kids. Theo would make videos and post them online he would talk about anything that he was passionate about. Nolan was from Texas where he moved to open a coffee shop after problems in Texas. Theo would go there for coffee and bug Nolan since he wanted and cared about him. They had some problems with a stalker and got everything worked out and got their very happy ending! Another great book by Austin Bates!
This is a sweet, sweet story about a really stubborn Alpha Nolan and sassy Omega Theo, this is an age gap story and trust issues is a big theme, which might mean they are over before they begin.
I like this book a lot, the characters are good and supportive, the chemistry between the pair even when they argue is so great. Theo is unique and has a really likeable personality which makes him a character you root for, there is a satisfying ending and is a enjoyable read.
This was a beautiful, amazing, grab-you-by-the-feels, poignant, heartfelt, fantastic, emotionally charged, powerful, sexy, delightful, and totally awesome second chance romance. Filled with a stubborn Alpha, a determined Omega, misunderstandings, and a bumpy road to a HEA ending, it's a definitely different take on your usual May/December and Alpha/Omega storylines. I would recommend getting this gem immediately.
Another great story from Austin Bates. I loved the May/December age gap between Logan and Theo. Theo saw and immediately wanted Nolan. Constantly flirting and trying to tempt him, but Nolan has been very hurt and is standing strong against his attraction to Theo. Until he can no longer resist him.
