My best friend’s sister.A tiny white lie to get a loan.A fake fiance?And Clarissa wants more than just free drinks.Good thing I’m the guy who can give her what she wants….as long as her brother doesn’t find out what we’re up to.It was just a teeny tiny lie we told the loan officer.“Together? Yes, we’re together.”Now, Clarissa and I have to play like we’re engaged.She’s doing me a huge favor—the … engaged.
She’s doing me a huge favor—the bank won’t loan to me unless I have a partner.
Clarissa’s got her own requirements for holding up her end of the bargain, though.
She wants benefits.
And I mean more than just free Margarita’s on Saturday nights.
She’s heard about my ‘special ability,’ and not the fact that I make the best Martini in town.
So we make an agreement: No feelings, just sex.
Really really hot sex.
Did I mention this was during our very public, very fake engagement?
This is about to wrong in all the ways it can go wrong.
Luckily, I know a guy who makes a hell of a stiff cocktail.
I have a feeling I’m going to need one before this rollar coaster ride is over.

I know many fans of the Blackwell After Dark series have been eagerly awaiting Mason and Clarissa’s story, ever since Clarissa’s brother Cole first appeared with the inaugural Blackwell book, Professor with Benefits. I have to say, Mr. Miller does not disappoint. Mason and Clarissa have wanted each other for so long but have to hide their attraction because Mason has two golden rules: 1. Don’t get involved with coworkers, 2. Don’t get involved with friend’s sisters. Clarissa becomes both after she returns to Blackwell after university to see her mother and gets a job hostessing at The Watering Hole. Then Clarissa encourages Mason to try to open his own bar and things snowball from there, with both of them committing to a fake relationship to secure the bank loan because the bank was reluctant to lend the money to just Mason alone, or even to both Mason and Clarissa, were they not seriously involved with each other. Can they survive the bar opening as well as overcome the incident from their past that both binds them together and tears them apart?
I found myself laughing out loud a lot during this book, more than with any other previous book in the series, so it’s definitely got humor down but despite the humorous erotica tag, it’s really more of a rom-com with a best friend’s little sister, second chance romance all rolled into one. I really enjoyed this book, as I always do with books by this author and I look forward the next book in this series as well as any other books Mr. Miller has up his sleeves for us.
Mason, Mason, Mason!!!! Where do I even start with this??? This is Book 4 in the Blackwell series and I can honestly say it’s my FAVE!! Mason has a heart of gold, a great personality, he’s cocky, smart and drop dead gorgeous!! What’s not to love! And did I mention he’s also the best bartender around??
Clarissa is smart as hell, hot, and she also happens to be Mason’s best friends little sister.
So what happens when these two have a “Fake engagement”, and their real feelings start to come out? A lot of screw ups, tears, and Fireworks!!!
this story is so Hot!! It will have you on the edge of your seat!
I received this ARC and I’m voluntarily leaving a review!
I’m hooked on the the town of Blackwell and all those residing there. This is a great standalone in a series where you’re able to read each story in no particular order yet the characters all are intertwined within each other. Mason and Clarissa’s story is one that I adored, we’re given a sweet romance mixed with steaminess and of course a HEA. I loved reading the tale that Mason and Clarissa built and seeing it grow to more then they planned was entertaining. The storyline flowed smoothly and the pace was good. Definitely recommending this story as well as the entire Blackwell After Dark Series. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
This is one bartender who’ll get you drunk on him!
I loved Mason & Clarissa! I love their second chance. I love their ‘fake’ relationship. I love their sneaky-sneaky fwb relationship. I just loved it. I think Mason may be my favorite of the Blackwell men. Delicious!
Bartender with Benefits is a must read! Mason and have had an unrequited crush on each other for years. She the studious nerd and he the bad boy, but when they get together they spontaneously combust! Entertaining installment to the Blackwell series. Mason and Clarissa’s story is hot, emotional and funny. I enjoyed every minute of BwB and hope there will be more Blackwell books to follow.
Bartender With Benefits is a romance book that has a little bit of everything for everyone. From a second chance romance to best friend’s sister to a fake relationship. Mason and Clarissa’s story will keep surprising you at every turn as both their future and their past unfolds. As these two each make sacrifices for the other it might just take one giant leap to face what is actually in front of them. A story that will keep you enthralled from start to finish and leave you on a total high. If you are after a book that will take you on a ride of emotions and have you wanting to do body shots, then Bartender With Benefits should be your drink of choice for your next read.
Very hot and steamy!!!! Very well written and leaves you with a very vivid and wild images!
This series never fails to bring fun, likeable characters with off the charts hotness, and scenes between the couple that are always fresh and original, not to mention sexy as all get out!!! A blast to read, flirtatious, angsty in spots, the banter kept me glued, all in all a great read! I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!

Bartender with Benefits is my first experience reading anything by Mickey Miller. It absolutely is not be my last. After one book I’m hooked. Bartender with Benefits is funny and sexy and feisty and surprisingly full of feels.
I love the chemistry between the main characters and even the secondary characters are well developed. The way this story plays out had me reading it in one sitting. I could not put it down. Now I’m on a mission to read the other books by this author.
There were a few areas that could have used more proofreading /editing, but other than a quick blip, they didn’t interfere with my reading of the story.
Loved it
