it was hard to get into for me. but i liked it. it was fine. i really liked that each chapter had some drink.

Remi James expected, when she got called into work early, to hear she had finally gotten a promotion.

Nope.

Instead her boss has brought in a co-bartender she will now have to work with. AND compete with for a bonus she desperately needs.

Maya has come back to Seattle to finish her Nursing degree, but she's short on cash for tuition. So, like Remi, she needs that bonus.

(Minor gripe: I sort of wish we got the boss' pov, because Gabriella LOOKS like a asshole, but it's hard to say since we just have two staff povs. And the later bit... yeah, she REALLY ends up looking like a flaming asshole. No spoilers, but WOW. I know it's not a main plot bit, but yeah that bugged me. I dunno if i would rewrite, but it landed pretty badly.)

Decent slow burn.... frankly not as good as her first book. It's PRETTY GOOD, but definately not great.

I am seriously in love with Dana Hawkins and her books! She creates a world where love is accepted with all its forms. Her characters struggle with all of the usual romance story issues of course, but it’s nice to see stories where the usual hate is missing. Hopefully one day this fictional world can become reality!
