On the island where they first met two lovers from opposite sides of the tracks are reunited. Now jaded and broken, Alex and Matt still can't deny their sizzling connection or the memories of one perfect, uninhibited year together.
At twenty-two, Matt Tarrington is rich, good-looking and destined to be powerful, but behind that confident exterior lurks a man who resents the life his family thrust upon him. Wanting an escape, Matt heads to Mirabella Island off the coast of Florida for a year of relaxation and a few wild nights with vacationing party-girls.
Matt never expected to find real passion in the arms of Alex Hunter, a handsome, laid-back local. Alex is gay, but closeted. Knowing Matt should be off limits, Alex finds the deeply-in-denial rich boy too tempting to ignore. Especially when a bet has them working together, fighting the heat in the rundown, beachside cafe where Alex sweats for every dollar.
Their love felt inevitable until youth left them vulnerable to hatred and greed. After six years of hating the lies they live to make others happy, they will have to risk it all for the second chance they both desperately need.

4.5 stars!Note to self, no more reading Kele Moon while in public.
I picked up this book because of a Goodreads genre recommendation. I was shocked I enjoyed this so much because Goodreads the website isn't a very good recommender. But I also have book friends who love Kele so I decided to give it a shot.
So Starfish and Coffee is the MM romance story of Alex and Matt. Alex is an islander in the south with no career aspirations other than to relax on the beach and fish. Matt is the rich boy from the main land who is taking a year off before running his family company. Both of these guys are something to swoon over.
Alex knows he's gay but has been deeply in the closet due to the small town life he lives. Matt finds himself attracted to Alex, but before him Matt always went for girls. What ensues is a really hot love affair with all of the forbidden boxes check marked along the way.
This was a wonderfully angsty read and being the angst whore I am, I ate it up. I like that the flash back happened all at once instead of back and forth, because that can be really annoying. We got the full story up front and it was refreshing in a second chance romance. I liked how blunt Matt was, and I liked Alex's carefree attitude. Both guys make great MC's.
So all of you MM lovers out there, this is the book for you. I'm just surprised it took me so long to hear of it, let alone read it. I will definitely be checking out more of Kele Moon's books after this one.

Starfish and Coffee Kele Moon 9781623001759 Books Reviews
So much emotion from the get go. Immediately you feel the connection and spark between Alex and Matt, so much so that it makes you wish for that strong passion for yourself. The acceptance that each of them has for the other shows that opposites really do attract and love is possible no matter what.
I'm usually not a fan of a female support character in m/m romances but Holly makes you feel like she's part of the glue that holds everyone together. Her understanding, love and support for Alex is awe inspiring, and her acceptance for Matt is what friendship is really about, everyone should have a best friend like her.
In the you end see how important communication is in a relationship and without that it can lead to a miserable existence. An emotional ride showing how difficult it can make to do what you think is right for the love of your life, even if it's completely wrong for both parties. I just didn't want it to end, I wanted more about their HEA.
This was a beautifully written, bittersweet story of two men who typically wouldn't be friends but turn into so much more.
The book begins in the present with Alex's nightmare of regret having lost Matt from his life. For six years he's been trudging through life without him. Out of the blue Matt shows up at Alex's work and conjures up all of the old memories and emotions. He's come back to the beach, and to Alex, to find out what happened all those years ago. At this, we're transported back to where their story began.
Matt is an upper-class rich kid, taking a year off of college to live and work on the beach. Once his year is over, he's to go back to school, get his degree and take over the family business.
Alex is a local beach bum, for better or worse. He works in a run down restaurant, helps as a caretaker for tourist beach shack rentals and lives a carefree life. His biggest worry in life is which swim trunks to wear that day.
Alex has known of Matt since elementary school as that's when Matt's family bought a summer home on the beach, but they've never really met. When Matt takes a job at the restaurant Alex works at, the two bond over their misery. One night, one thing leads to another and the two have a very intimate moment on the beach. From there Matt shares his attraction to men and Alex shares his closeted lifestyle.
What ensues is an emotional love affair. During the day every stolen moment, hand touch and secret glance is felt. Their nights are filled with shared dreams and passionate lovemaking. Escapes on a boat for deep sea fishing and swimming allows the two to have the sun shine on their love. Both are living in the moment and the uncertainty of what may come after their year is up.
Outside influences play a large role in their relationship and ultimately, the two must decide what's more important....career, family or each other?
I loved Matt and Alex. Alex's carefree lifestyle and Matt's lack of filter at times played out great. The setting of the book felt like another character, and it would certainly have a different feel to it if the location was somewhere else. I could practically smell the saltwater while reading.
This would have easily been a five star read for me if it weren't for a few things
1. Matt's cherry popping was a bit sudden for me. Call me a prude, but I would have liked a bit of anticipation leading up to it.
2. I didn't understand the side story with Holly and Will. Didn't quite feel necessary to the plot and then any type of conclusion was rushed at the end. Almost as an afterthought to just give them some sort of closure. Unless they're going to be getting their own book down the road.....which I'd definitely be on board with.
3. I didn't understand all of Holly's nudity and her VERY close relationship with Alex. I get it, he's gay...nothing will every happen. But they sleep naked, shower and change around each other, skinny dip together with her wrapping all her junk around him. Again, this may just boil down to what appears to be my prudish tendencies.
As you can see by my rating, even my few quirks didn't severely affect my enjoyment of the book. So, if you're a fan of beautifully written, emotional and hot MM books, then I highly recommend this one.
I've read a lot of books lately that have been super subpar, so when this one crossed my path my expectations weren't very high. Well...I was pleasantly, actually more than pleasantly surprised. A lot of M/M books are pretty predictable. Two man fall in love, they are dealt a crappy hand by homophobic people, drama and tension ensue, but then ultimately they live happily ever after. Basically Starfish and Coffee fit that to a T. BUT...it was sooooo much more! The characters, the story, the steam, it was all so on point. Alex and Matt are both beautiful, successful (in their own rite), sexy, and strong. And yet that last characteristic was basically my only gripe with the book. So strong with everyone in their lives, but total weak sauce when it came to each other. Like really guys, who gives up that easy? Six excruciatingly painful years go by without a word? Uggg, COME ON! But I suppose that drama made for a really good read so I'll let it slide. 😉 It truly was a sweet story about second chances.
4.5 stars!
