Lucky Break by Aria Kane
Four years ago, chef Derek Chase
walked out of Andrea Rivera’s life after a tragedy neither of them were
prepared to deal with. When she’s called to the Brazen Head to repair a
dishwasher, old sparks ignite buried feelings.
Review
Four years ago Derek left Andrea because he felt like he was
honoring his best friend’s last wishes, even though it tore him apart to do
so. Andrea never got over Derek. She had been in love with him for as long as
she could remember, but he ripped her heart out when he left without a
word. When a repairman is called to fix
the dishwasher where he is the chef, the last person he expects to walk in the
door is Andrea. They are both thrown for
a loop as they are forced to face their past.
Derek can’t help but want to be with her, she is the only person he has
ever wanted. Andrea would love answers
about why he left and had not contacted her in four years.
As
the night wears on, they can’t help but feel the pull between them. Soon they are making out in a cramped hallway
in the back of the bar. Is Andrea ready
to forgive him and move forward in their lives together? Is Derek ready to follow his heart and claim
the only woman he has ever loved? This
is a wonderful story about coming to terms with your past and getting a second
chance at love. I felt so sorry for
Derek and all the agony he was going through regarding the death of Andrea’s
brother, but knew he needed to forgive himself and move on. Will they get their HEA? You will need to read the story to find out!

Lexi’s Chance by Constance
Phillips
As a bartender, Sean Whelan meets
all kinds of women every night, but none turn his head the way that Lexi has.
She’s been playing cat and mouse with him for weeks. Tonight, Sean’s determined
to get Lexi to quit teasing and take a real chance on him.
Review
Sean never has a shortage of women trying to get his
attention and trying to get him his bed.
After all, he is a hot bartender in his family’s pub. However, the only one that he wants to get
close too is always just out of his reach.
But tonight, he plans to make his feelings toward Lexi known and get her
to take a chance on him.
Lexi has been
coming into the pub every Friday night just to see Sean. While she doesn’t belive his flirting is
genuine, she has no shame in enjoying it.
She just wishes she knew if his flirting was real or just another tool
of the trade.
When she starts
to see different pieces of the real Sean, she can’t help but fall farther under
his spell. He is such a sweet, caring
man but be doesn’t let people see that side of him. When he finally confesses how he feels, she
is totally blown away. She wants nothing
more than to fall into his waiting arms, but she is scared to take a chance on
him. Will Sean be able to get through to
her heart and claim it as his own? Will
Lexi tell him about her past and risk he may change his mind? In order to find out, you will need to read
the story.
After
reading the other three stories, I really wanted to know more about Sean. He seemed like such a sweet guy, but you
could tell he was holding back. When you
finally see how tender he is with Lexi, you can’t help but fall for him. I love how he handled the news about her past
and convinced her to let go and move on.
It truly is a sweet story about moving on and learning to live each day
to the fullest.
Drink or Dare by Melinda
Dozier
A bachelorette party Drink or Dare
game pairs paramedic students, Rachel Robertson and Killian Whelan, in a
flirting match. Soon, the dares threaten to turn their academic rivalry into
something much more.
Review
This was such a sweet, fun story to read. Rachel is out with her friends for a bachelorette
party and just happens to start their pub crawl at The Brazen Head. The last person she expects to find there working
is fellow paramedic student, Killian.
She has always found him attractive, but when she sees him in a tight
shirt and kilt, she is done for.
Killian has had a
crush on Rachel for a while, but was too scared to act on his feelings. Even with their bickering at school, he can’t
help but fall for her. She is the only
girl he has wanted since coming back from visiting his parents in Ireland.
As
the night wears on and Rachel is drinking more and more, the game of drink and
dare is started. Rachel is dared to not
only flash Killian, but kiss him as well.
When her lips meet his, lets just say the bar heats up a few
degrees!! There is no denying their
attraction to one another. The only
question is to whether or not they will take a chance on finding love. Will they finally give in to their
feelings? Will they get their HEA? You will need to read the story to find
out. I promise you will not be
disappointed. It was a great story to
end the book on and I really liked Rachel and Killian together. All I can say is HOT, HOT, HOT!! Don’t just take my word for it, make sure you
get your copy of this book today!
