Craft beer and the sexy men who brew it.
My employee’s daughter. The tomboy. The kid who once did odd jobs around the brewery. That’s all she was… until three years passed and she walked into my office for an interview.
Frankee Dawson is no longer that girl I once called Kiddo. She’s grown into a beautiful, sexy, desirable woman. Very desirable. And that’s a problem. She’s my employee’s daughter. Lovibond family. And too young for me. Too innocent.
I want to feel her respond to my kiss.
I want her body to tremble as she anticipates my touch.
I want to learn all the places that bring her pleasure.
But mostly I want her to know that she’s never truly been loved by a man until me.
Frankee is my intern and under me for the summer. Literally. It’s a difficult secret to maintain when you can’t keep your hands off each other.
This was supposed to be a hot summer fling. Sex and fun without commitment. That’s what we called it. But we were wrong. This is more. I’ve never felt this way about a woman. Never cared more about someone else’s happiness more than my own.
I love her. And I’m happy, so damn happy… until a terrible mistake from my past springs forward and threatens to rip us apart.
There are a million reasons for her to leave me. And trust me, she should. But all I really need is one good reason for her to stay.

REVIEW: PORTER is the third and final installment in Georgia Cates’ contemporary, adult LOVIBOND erotic, romance series focusing on three friends –Lucas ‘Tap’ Broussard, Oliver ‘Stout’ Thorn, and William ‘Porter ‘ Beckman of Lovibond Brewery. This is Lovibond co-owner Porter Beckman, and graphic designer Frankee Dawson’s story line. PORTER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person points of view (Porter and Frankee) PORTER follows the forbidden relationship between thirty year old Lovibond co-owner Porter Beckman, and his new intern, daughter of his warehouse manager, twenty one year old graphic designer Frankee Dawson. Five years earlier Frankee Dawson worked as a student sweeping the warehouse and doing odd jobs, but the Frankee that has returned is no longer the gangly teen, but a beautiful woman that has caught the boss’s eye. Applying for the twelve week summer intern position, Frankee comes face to face with the man that has starred in all of her fantasies for close to five years, and the man with whom Frankee will fall in love. What ensues is the building but secret relationship between Frankee and Porter, and the potential fall out when Porter’s past reveals some damaging news.
Frankee Dawson has had a crush on Porter Beckman since the day he hired her father five years earlier. Now a graphic designer, Frankee hopes to impress the boss with more than her artwork, but with her body as well. Porter Beckman knows that to get involved with Frankee Dawson could threaten his relationship with her father, his warehouse manager, but Porter’s attraction to Frankee is palpable; his desire for Frankee grows quickly, and has our story line hero considering a possible future-together. But someone from Porter’s past is making life difficult for our story line couple, and in the end, Frankee must make a decision whether to stay, or move forward without the man that she loves. With the twelve week deadline looming, Frankee thought for sure she new what she wanted but a surprise announcements halts everyone in their tracks.
The relationship between Porter and Frankee is one of immediate attraction; a forbidden romance between boss and intern, but a relationship that is fated for our story line couple. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense. Our heroine was a virgin until Porter Beckman offered Frankee more than a one-night stand.
All of the previous couples and characters play secondary and supporting roles including Tap and Lawry, Stout and Adelyn, as well as Frankee’s parents, Scott and Tara Dawson; Porter’s parents Kit and Gabe Beckman, as well as Porter’s office manager Molly who sees past their friendly facade, and Frankee’s besties Dillyn and Ava. It was nice catching up with Tap and Stout, with a glimpse into the future for all three series’ couples.
PORTER is a fun and flirty story line; a sexy and sassy couple whose attraction to one another wars with their sense of right and wrong- a forbidden romance that sees two people find their happily ever after but not before facing sins of the past. The premise is impassioned; the characters are spirited and realistic; the romance is provocative and seductive. PORTER is a playful and delightful read that will having you asking for more.

I’ve never seen anyone wear anything like that. Sure, I’ve watched porn and seen it on those women, but never on a real-life woman. And never one in my bed.
Frankee is like my very own porno princess.
I gave her six orgasms last night—one an hour. I’ve never done that before. Not that I don’t have the ability. I’ve just never been inclined to.
“Frankee.”
She doesn’t stir. Not even a little. I shake her shoulder this time. “Frankee. Wake up, baby. I have to go.”
She rolls to her back and slowly opens her eyes. “Someone fucked me into next week. You’ll have to check back with me when it comes around to see if I can wake up.”
“You don’t have to get up, but I do have to go.”
“No. Don’t go. Staaaay.” She has no idea how badly I want to.
At some point during the night, Frankee washed off her makeup, and I’m seeing her for the first time without cosmetics. It’s confirmed. She’s a natural beauty and doesn’t need that garbage on her face.
“I wish I could stay in this bed with you all day, but I promised Stout I’d help him move his stuff to his new house today. I was supposed to be there already, but I couldn’t bear to leave when you looked so beautiful in my bed.”
I already know he’s going to give me shit for being late.
“Wait a minute… before you go.”
Frankee dashes to the bathroom, still wearing her porno princess attire from last night. That is one convenient getup. I hope she has more of those.
She returns from the bathroom with her hair twisted into a topknot. I don’t know what it is that makes that so damn sexy.
She wraps her arms around my shoulders and lowers herself to straddle me on the bed. “Kiss me before you go.”
Her mouth is minty. And hungry, based on the way she devours my mouth and neck. “Is this your plan for tempting me to stay?”
Her hands are working to undo the button and zipper on my jeans. “No. This is.”
