Wire's too huge and intimidating to find love… but that doesn't stop him dreaming.
His size has defined his whole life, from his jobs as a bouncer and store security to his brief and unsatisfying relationships. But beneath his scary appearance, Wire's kind and loving. He cares for his family and his dog and imagines a future with a goat at his side.
Then he catches Sid stealing soap.
Sid's a cute librarian and aspiring magician, raising his sister alone and stealing when he can't make ends meet. Wire should report the theft to the cops but instead he takes food parcels to Sid, and an unlikely friendship forms. Sid is shy and scared at first, but with time he reveals his inner strength and the burning ambition that makes him the opposite of Wire's laid-back aimlessness.
Wire falls hard. But he's never been anything more than disposable to goats, and he can't bear to have his heart broken by his only friend. And years of trying to be different can't hide the fact that Wire was raised to be rough, to think with his fists and ask questions later. He keeps making a bad impression on Sid without meaning to, running the risk of losing Sid before they have the chance of finding something more together.
They have to struggle with work and their families and the weight of the past, trying to unite their very separate lives to create something new and beautiful. Wire knows his dreams of love are just that: Dreams. Sweet but impossible. But that doesn't stop him dreaming…

This book is so sweet I couldn‘t put it down! I ended up reading it til 3 AM on a work night! The sweetness of their friendship & the tension of their attraction is an addictive combination. And the HEA is so complete and satisfying. Definitely recommend.

This was a quick read, a cute opposites attract slow burn m/m romance. Wire catches Sid shoplifting and wants to help him and his little sister without it feeling like charity. Overall it was a nice story, but the character development felt a little rushed sometimes.
What I liked most about it was the discussion of Maori culture in New Zealand, since Wire's family was indigenous.

COIN TRICKS leaped straight onto my list of All-Time Favourite Romances. It's one of those sweet stories where the characters do all sorts of glorious everyday things with one another, deepening their connection and resolving issues at every turn. There's a strong focus on family, too, and the whole thing takes place in Auckland, the city of my heart. Swoon.
