From New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal best-selling author of The Beauty Series comes The Lovibond Collection--a series of standalone novels.
Craft beer and the sexy men who brew it.
Tap: A Lovibond Novel 1
A faceless name. That's all she was when I agreed to play a part in deceiving her. But then the unplanned happened.
We met. And all I wanted from her was a dirty weekend . . . until that wasn't enough and I longed for so much more.
Lawrence Thorn suddenly means the world to me. And that's a problem. She's my business partner's sister. Forbidden fruit. Pursuing her can mean trouble for me at Lovibond Brewery. But I don't care.
I yearn for her skin against mine.
I crave her smell on my body.
I want to make her laugh and then hear her moan my name.
And she does for a brief moment in time.
But Lawrence wants more than I'm able to give. And it's a damn shame because there's no one on earth I want more than her.
An epic love.
A miserable ending.
Unless it's not.
Tap is the first book in a collection of Lovibond standalone novels.
Each novel will feature a different couple.
No cliffhangers.
****
Stout: A Lovibond Novel 2
A beautiful neighbor. A complete stranger. That's all she was when I moved in next door.
Adelyn Maxwell is my neighbor but she's no girl next door. The more I come to know her, the more I discover she's a good girl with a lovely dark side. And maybe I don't want her to stay on her side of the fence.
I want to disturb the rhythm of her pulse.
I want to see the way her hair spills on the bed when she lies beneath me.
I want her to teach me the dirty pretty things she desires behind closed doors. And she does.
But mostly I want to leave my mark on the most intimate, untouched part of her body. Her heart.
A seemingly insignificant intersection of our lives neither of us recalls suddenly becomes a pivotal moment in our future. We aren't strangers at all. And our paths aren't crossing for the first time.
These twists and turns of fate will become one of two things: a wrecking ball to tear us apart or the connection to bond us together forever.
Stout is the second book in a collection of Lovibond standalone novels.
Each novel will feature a different couple.
No cliffhangers.

Tap by Georgia Cates is the first book in the Men of Lovibond Series.
Lukas Broussard, Tap, is co-owner of a brewery. His partner is away and he has to text Oliver´s sister, Lawrence. Only that doesn´t work like the men thought. Lawry- Lawrence comes to visit her brother and everything comes to light.
Tap is a fun read , well written and the characters are great.
I give 4,5 stars.
Stout by Georgia Cates is the second book in the Men of Lovibond Series.
Oliver Thorn - Stout is one of thge founders of the Lovibond brewery. He´s had a hard upbringing and has issues and invisible scars to proove it.
Adelyn Maxwell is his new neighbor, a feisty redhead. They start to date, and things get kinky and scorching hot really fast. But these two have more in common than they know, yet. But then the bomb explodes in their faces. The ugly truth comes to light. And lets be real for one moment, I KNOW, with absolutely certainty, that this crime I would never forgive. No, sorry , so not sorry.
But because I´m not the heroine , Adelyn so does. First I really loved her, but now I think of her as weak. She rolls over and everything is peachy. But the book is well written and I give 4 stars.
Porter by Georgia Cates is the third and final book in the Lovibond Series.
Every book in the series can easily be read as a standalone. The other books are Tap, book one and Stout, book two.
Porter Beckman needs a new summer intern. And Frankee Dawson his employees daughter is more than qualified for the job. And she´s all grown up now.
Both have crazy chemistry and start a fling. Ha as if that will work. Porter is smitten by her and she can´t get him out of her head.
There are scorching hot NSFW sex scenes, drama, unexpected twists and turns. This book has it all.
Porter and Frankee´s story is a fairytale come true.
Porter and the other characters kept me well entertained. I give 4,5 sweet stars and say Thank You, Georgia Cates!

Most people enjoy binge-watching shows, I binge-read books. I used to be right there with them – back in the day when I watched TV. But now, put a device in my hands that has a full series on it and well, so long productivity or conversation. I am a toddler with an empty box, I will be entertained for hours. That’s exactly what happened when I started reading Georgia Cates’ Lovibond series. Each of these stories is uniquely different and standalone and within the first chapter of Tap, I was hooked.
So somehow, Lovibond is my very first time reading any of Georgia Cates’s books – how that is remains a completely mystery to me. Because again – LOVE. I absolutely adore what she has done here -- these stories span all manner of tropes and are each woven together so brilliantly. Add in the craft beer arc and not only do you almost have another character, but the reader gets a crash course in Beer Making 101.
But it is these characters that I am absolutely over the moon for. Tap and Lawrence, Stout and Adelyn, Porter and Frankee. On some level, each of their relationships is considered forbidden – the sister of a business partner - the neighbor - the younger woman. None of which matters to their hearts. For them falling in love is the easy part, it’s the outside forces that make the lives of these couple’s way too interesting. It’s in those moments that we get to feel the true strength of each of their bonds. It is true romance.
If you are in the need of a fabulous binge read, the Lovibond series is your answer. Looking just to read a book to read a book at time? This is for you too -- though I am not sure how you will resist the urge to binge after the first one. Enjoy!!!

Holds Your Attention!
Tap: I love the amazing H/h, Tap and Wren and their hot chemistry. Wren is a kind and loving free spirit, she does not conform or define herself by what others think or believe. She has a giving nature and is nonjudgmental. Tap is also non conforming, loves his family and friends. Both have demons from their past that has shaped how they view love and relationships. But, they are drawn to each other, after a few missteps, and being afraid to trust they finally able to heal and open their heart to love.
Stout: Stout a strong, protective big brother and a master craftsman. Addie is a cunning and successful woman with hidden secrets. With heat and steam that sizzle! Both compliment each other until her secret is revealed. Stout has endured pain and suffering at an early age, that haunts him. Addie suffered at the hands of someone who claimed to love her. I love how the story develops Stout and Addie's relationship. It played well when the secrets were revealed. But, love conquers to get their HEA.

Georgia Gates has always been a favorite of mine. So when I had the opportunity to read not one, not two but three of her novels. I couldn’t pass it up. Reading the synopsis only made me want it that much more. Realing me in right away. Seeing as this three books wrapped in one. I could t review without writing a novel of my own. So I decided to do this review a little differently. Straight and to the point. As always this author delivers. The chemistry was so palpable it was rolling off the pages. Leaving you anxiously waiting to see what would happen next. Even though it’s the middle of fall I felt like this was a Christmas present all wrapped up nice and pretty for me. - By Vanessa

An Awesome Read!
I absolutely loved reading The Lovibound Collection! First book is Tap, all about Lucas Broussard who is the money behind the Lovibond Brewery, he's also a partner with Oliver Thorn & Porter Beckmann who are the brewmasters. The weekend before the big Southern Taste Beer Festival Oliver gets arrested with a DUI, because of the nature of his business and his profession he checks himself into a thirty-day inpatient program. Which leaves Lucas/Tap & Porter extremely short handed. It also leaves Tap being responsible for texting with Oliver's sister Lawrence or Lawry/Law. You see she texts a lot with her brother, and since he has no plans to tell her about the DUI, Tap is expected to be the go between and pretend to be Stout. He reluctantly agrees but really has no idea how many texts his sister actually sends, and then expects witty replies to everything. When Law finally texts for the forty or fifty time, Tap turns the phone off. Read all about Tap & Law and see what kind of chemistry if any these two have! Included in this collection is Book two Stout all about partner Oliver Thorn who is one third of the partnership in Lovibond Brewieries and a Brewmaster. He's just moved into a beautiful house with a white picket fence in a friendly family neighborhood. On moving day, his sister Law is at the house cleaning the floors, before the furniture is delivered, when the next door neighbor shows up with a welcome to the neighborhood Basket. It's filled with all sorts of homemade muffins, bread, jam & cookies and introduces herself as Adelina Maxwell who is a Event Planner with her own business, and lives right next door. She's gorgeous with red hair a beautiful smile and legs that go on for days, Stout observes! Before she leaves for work, she has an appointment with Law planning the Bohemian Cider Company's grand opening on the third Saturday in June at B & A Warehouse & also a surprise birthday party for Ollie's thirtieth birthday on July 16 at Iron City. Read all about Stout & Addie and see how everything shakes out with them! The author Georgia Cates is an incredible writer, and just captures the readers attention, and holds it until the very end, in every story she writes! It's just amazing and I love reading everything she writes, because I know I will never be disappointed! So please read this collection, and just continue reading her stuff, you will never be disappointed!

Book one is better than two. Story felt a bit rushed in comparison to the Beauty series.

Great couple of books from this author, the stories of Tap and Stout were great and their search for love, which they found in the end

I have loved everything I've read by this author except this. I don't even feel this was written by the same person, the styles the characters were just not. :(

Sweet
I really like the idea of three guys running a brewery, I've never come across that in a book before. Both books were sweet and cute and now I can't wait for Porter.
