Synopsis from Goodreads:
Layla Reyne spins off from her pulse-pounding Agents Irish and Whiskey books with Imperial Stout, the first installment in the Trouble Brewing series.
It’s a good thing assistant US attorney Dominic Price co-owns a brewery. He could use a cold one. Nic’s star witness has just been kidnapped, his joint operation with the FBI is in jeopardy, his father’s shady past is catching up with him and the hot new special agent in San Francisco is the kind of distraction best handled with a stiff drink.
Kidnap and rescue expert Cameron Byrne has his own ideas about how to handle Nic, but his skills are currently needed elsewhere. The by-the-book FBI agent goes deep undercover as a member of an infamous heist crew in order to save Nic’s witness, break up the crew and close the case before anyone else gets hurt. Nic in particular.
Things heat up when Cam falls for Nic, and the witness falls for Cam. As the crew’s suspicions grow, Cam must decide how far he’s willing to go—and how far into his own dark past he’s willing to dive—to get everyone out alive.
I've been looking forward to the start of this spin off series, and this book did not disappoint. I enjoyed this author's AI&W series, and she delivered again with another action packed story. The pace, the storyline, and the chemistry between Cameron and Dominic was spot on. The case they teamed up on provided good suspense and brought in a lot of characters from the previous series.
I enjoyed learning about Dominic and Cameron, and their back stories really left me wanting to know more about them! Their relationship was definitely a slow burn, but it was SO worth waiting for. I'm looking forward to seeing how their relationship progresses in the rest of the series.
Imperial Stout can be read as a standalone, but I feel that it would help if you’ve read the Agents Irish & Whiskey series so you aren't completely lost with the multiple characters and the previous goings on.
An advanced copy of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
My Rating: 4 Stars
