Sex on the Seats by Elise Faber

 

4 Star

Dominique didn't know why she was at the bar.  It's not her scene but she can't leave as the bartender is making her long for more in her life.  Archer stayed late because this woman enthralled him.  When she offers one night he can't say no.  One night isn't all he wants he just needs to talk her into more.

I really enjoyed this story.  In fact I got to the end and said wait that's all of it.  I got through it so fast it didn't feel like a long story.  I enjoyed seeing Dominique work through her issues and move to wanting more than a one night stand.  Everything just worked for me with this story.  You don't need to read the rest of the books in the series to read this one but it will help.  If you're looking for a quick light read this is a good book to pick up.

On the Rocks by Elise Faber

 

3 Star

Anabelle is the youngest child of all very successful people and she is just a bartender.  She's made a home for herself and is content to live her life the way she wants.  When a man shows up at her friends engagement she is there to protect them from the hurt they're feeling.  This is made difficult when it's the long lost brother Hayden.  Hayden has his reasons for disappearing and he will need to beg forgiveness.  Will he sway Anabelle and his friends and family to his side?

I wanted to like Anabelle and Hayden's story more than I did.  I just never got past Hayden abandoning his entire life and expecting everything to be perfect when he turns up YEARS later.  It was well written and I know some people loved the story.  I had a very hard time getting beyond him letting his family think he committed suicide so he could go deep undercover.  I liked Anabelle but even after finishing the book I still don't understand why her brother has so much hate for her.  Overall, it was an ok book.

This book hit all the feels.  I really enjoyed Brent and Iris.  You really are rooting for them to succeed as a couple.  They both had strife in their past and needed some happy.  The issues they had were very much a miscommunication and they eventually work it out.  The epilogue was a holy shit moment and you will want to go right into that book.

Rum and Notes by Elise Faber

 

4 Star

Romance writer has had some crap luck.  She lost her parents, then her brother, and then her boyfriend left her.  She moved and became inspired by a local bartender to write her books.  Kace had everything that revved her engine.  For six months she took her laptop to the bar and ignored everyone to write.  Kace finally worked up to asking her out and scared her off.  Will he be able to win her over and keep her?

I really enjoyed this book.  Kace was a pretty stereotypical male model these days for romance book.  Big, muscled, and tattooed and it was interesting to see how Brooke used that for her books.  It was also interesting to see how Kace won her over.  The only issue I really had was problems they had to overcome was not really something big so it was really just a straight romance.  This is fine as sometimes you just want that and this book is really good.
