Mel is a bartender at one of NYC’s trendiest places. She’s excellent behind the bar, and even better at knowing what her customers need and want, sometimes even before they do. And while she’s seen her share of encounters ignite and fizzle out at the bar, she hasn’t thought about her own love life since her divorce.
All that changes when Bebe walks in. She’s shrewd, sexy, and seems to be interested in Mel—but it turns out she’s also happily married to her partner, Kade. However, since Bebe and Kade have an open marriage, she asks Mel out on a date. Once Mel gets over her initial trepidations, she’s all in for some no-strings-attached fun.
Of course, it’s not long before both start to catch feelings beyond the casual mood they agreed upon. But instead of ending things, everyone is fine with things getting more serious. And then Mel realizes that she and Kade are also attracted to one another, despite the fact that Mel always thought they hated her. Suddenly, two’s company—and three is even better!
Meanwhile, Mel finds the courage to enter a major cocktail competition, which if she wins, she could get the seed money to open her own place, where her own drinks could be on the menu. And while navigating polyamory is daunting at first, having Bebe and Kade by her side makes all the difference.
I honestly haven’t read many books which feature polyamory, and I found the chemistry Mel had with both Bebe and Kade was fascinating, as were the issues that cropped up for her. This is a very steamy, fun, and romantic read, which could totally be read over cocktails!
I’m a huge fan of TJ Alexander; you can’t go wrong picking up any of their books!
