One hot cop. One bar owner out for redemption. One smoking-hot summer fling destined to leave scorch marks… very stern chief of police who’s not so sure he’s on board with Mason’s big plans.
Nash Flint just wants to keep his community safe and enjoy the occasional burger in peace. He’s not big on change nor is he a fan of Mason’s troublemaking family, especially his rowdy older brothers. But Mason slowly wins him over with fantastic cooking and the sort of friendship Nash has been starving for.
When their unlikely friendship takes a turn for the sexy, both men try to steer clear of trouble. Nash believes he’s too set in his ways for Mason, and Mason worries that his family’s reputation will ruin any future with Nash. Burning up the sheets in secret is a surefire way to crash and burn, and discovery forces a heart-wrenching decision—is love worth the risk of losing everything?
Trust with a Chaser is a 75,000 word stand-alone gay romance with a May/December theme, a hot law-enforcement hero, opposites attract, plenty of sexy times, and one hard-fought, guaranteed happy ending with no cliffhangers.

This is a great sweet-hot read. There’s just enough conflict to add some spice but it’s mostly a feel-good story. Recommended for an easy summer read 🙂
Trust with a Chaser is the first book in the Rainbow Cove series by author Annabeth Albert. I loved this story, made me smile, cheer, and want more. This story is written in dual POV which really helps with the flow of this storyline.
Mason is responsible, co-owns a bar and grill in town. He has to live down his family’s bad boy image, but he is honest and hard-working. Family is everything to him.
Nash is a no-nonsense town, Sherriff. He thinks that Mason is too young for him but deep down he really wants the man.
I liked these two together. They both need to learn to trust each other, and they both need each other in their lives. They are the Ying and yang to each other. I love a good happily ever after and this one is just that. I cannot wait for more from this series in the future.
Five Shooting Stars
I’ve read this author before. I listened to the audio book. This is a mm contemporary story set in the USA. Main characters are Nash, the Police Chief and Mason the new cafe/restaurant owner. Enemies to lovers story line. I’ll read more from this author.
I loved this book so hard! Nash and Mason were perfect, the problems they faced were difficult, yet together they made it through the many storms. I loved their happily ever after as a family with Lilac. I highly recommend this book!
I loved this book. Nash is the sort of character I adore and I loved Mason too.
The small town community is well fleshed out but not too intrusive and I’ll definitely be heading back to Rainbow Cove for Logan and Curtis’ story.
This! This right here is why I love Annabeth Albert’s work. I got all the feels. Happy and sad tears, smiles and laughs, and some growls thrown in. Mason remembering being at his mom’s work reminded me of when I did the same thing. Only I got to seat people and bring their drinks. I think the vandalism aspect while I was upset it happened, really made the town come together. And how do you live in a place called Rainbow Cove and have a problem with Rainbow stickers. Really?!? See this is what I mean about Annabeth’s books. You get into them deep. I can’t wait to see what’s next. Will it be Adam, Curtis, Logan, Brock, or someone we haven’t met yet? I know that whoever they are I’m going to love it.
I really didn’t know what to expect with Nash, the Chief of Police in the Small Town of Rainbow Cove, being so far in the closet I really feared he’d never come out, but I guess he was just waiting for the right guy to come along and shake things up.
Mason and Nash wormed their way into my heart right from the beginning. They each brought something to the relationship, there was an equal give and take which was nice to see. Their families, were like the Hatfields and the McCoys, there was a true dislike for one another but luckily Nash and Mason both could see past their families squabbles and find their own happiness.
Trust with a Chaser was a great start to the Rainbow Cove series an I am looking forward to the next book Tender with a Twist.
