How do you screw up your life in three steps? Easy. Step one: Graduate from college with no prospective jobs lined up. Step two: Move back home with your parents because no job unfortunately equals no money. Step three: Forget to Facebook stalk the guy who broke your heart before accepting a job in a town that has a smaller population than a frat party on a Wednesday night. I could quit but … night.
I could quit but living with my parents forever didn’t seem like a solid life plan.
Jase Hale was the golden boy. Our boss thought he was beyond talented. The receptionist sent him more flirty smiles and baked goods than was considered normal for a woman old enough to be his mom.
I tried to avoid him and his undeniable charm at all costs.
He did everything he could to get under my skin.
Every encounter left me reeling.
Every smirk made my stomach flip.
I assumed he was playing with me, just pushing my buttons like always, but when he lifted me onto my desk and shut me up with his lips on mine, I was more confused than ever.
It didn’t matter that he was trying to prove me wrong. Having my heart broken by the same jerk twice in one lifetime wasn’t an option.
He only got one shot with me and he sure as hell didn’t order a double.

This was an entertaining read! I liked the characters and the storyline. It’s a good one to check out if you’re just in the mood for a fun, contemporary romance.
Enemies to lovers is my favorite genre. I have to admit these two tried to be enemies but there was no denying their chemistry. Total off the charts hot. An office romance that I just couldn’t get enough of and toss in a brother’s bestfriend it’s heaven in a book. Double Shot was such a great read, and I really enjoyed the pace of the book it was planned to perfection. There was just the right amount of angst to balance out the steamy romance and keep you on your toes. I can’t wait to read more from Holly in the future.
4.5 stars
After reading Bottoms Up I couldn’t wait for Jase and Sophie’s book and it definitely didn’t disappoint.
Sophie and Jase have a history. As Sophie’s brother Tucker’s best friend, they’ve obviously grown up around each other but one night changed all that and they’ve spent the following years trying to hate each other. Thrown back together when Sophie goes for a job at Jases company, the sexual chemistry between these two just gets hotter and hotter the more time they spend together.
Both main characters are easy to like and it’s easy to see these two are perfect for each other. They have a genuine connection, the banter between them is fantastic, flirty and funny, and I loved every single word of their story. Another great book from Holly Renee.
Sometimes you just need a good enemies to lovers story. I started reading Holly’s books when I came across her Good Girls series on Amazon one day. After I binge read those books, I became a fan. She is a great writer and I thoroughly enjoy her work. This book had some of my favorite things that I love; banter, humor, and angst. Sophie and Jase were absolutely electric together. Some of these scenes were H.O.T. I loved these two, and I thought they were perfect for each other. This book was a fast-paced treat that I binge read one afternoon. Holly’s writing flows and you just get swept up in her stories. I look forward to more from her.
I really, really enjoyed this story quite a lot! I completely fell in love with Jase and Sophie so much. Shes his best friends little sister and they have both had feelings for each other for a good while. She wants to hate him but just cant seem to do it. I was hooked from page one and absolutely could not put down!
What a fun read! Office romance is one of my favorite genre 🙂 Jase and Sophie had me spinning with lots of laughter.. sexy encounter…Double Shot was fresh, hillarious and full with charm.
This book is amazing. I love the enemies to lovers stories and this one didn’t disappoint.
The chemistry between Jase and Sophie was undeniably incredible. The office moments between them where scorching HOT!!!
This book consumes you and It leaves you wanting more. Is a beautiful romance that can be read over and over again.
Holly Renee did an amazing job in this book and made me fall more in love with her writing.
I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED AN ARC COPY OF THIS BOOK.
4.5 “Make it a Double” Stars!!!
When I tell you the excitement is real, its because THE EXCITEMENT IS REAL. I’ve wanted Jase and Sophie’s book even before I was done reading Bottoms Up. As soon as Jase was introduced I NEEDED his story. He intrigued me and I needed more of his good-natured attitude. It was evident that there was “something” between him and Sophie and I desperately needed to know what that “something” was exactly. And I most definitely was not disappointed.
You know what one of my favorite tropes is? Brother’s best friend. You know what trope Double Shot is? Yep, you guessed it. This romance hit all the points. It had humor, undeniable chemistry, a punch of emotion, and hot-hot-hot sexy moments. It had me turning the pages at record speed, but also trying to take my time since I didn’t want the ending to come too soon. I was a giddy mess and couldn’t stop smiling.
You know what I couldn’t get enough of? Jase and Sophie’s flirty banter. It was oh-so irresistible as well as hilarious. What’s apparent is their underlying feelings. They’re trying their hardest to deny those feelings which makes the anticipation intense and also impossible to resist.
It’s no denying Jase and Sophie have a physical attraction, but there’s so much more than just that. The emotional aspect was just as intense as their physical one. The progression of their feelings was just the right pace and beautiful. These two left me wanting and needing more.
Double Shot left me swooning, smiling, fanning myself and just plain happy. It was a fast-paced and enjoyable read. I couldn’t get enough of these characters or this series. Another winner by Holly.
Oh swoon my heart!!! Double Shot by Holly Renee is a 5 star read that I totally see myself reading again and again! She writes the best characters that are so easy to fall for and want to know in real life! This low angst, high feels read hits all the right marks with a contemporary read! Pack with feisty humor, emotions and chemistry, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!
Sophie and Jace are so easy to love that you never want to see them go. Sophie is full of fire and Jace is just a good all around guy’s guy. Their history is long (Jace is Sophie’s bother’s best friend) and the journey to their future is de-li-ocious!!! I mean, ma’am – well done!!!
The way Holly develops not only her characters but the world they reside in is addictive and A+ that you want to live in it also! Each read is like coming home meeting new friends and catching up with old ones. And her words and how she always makes me feel. I’m all in with all the highs, lows, steam and heartache. That I’m my opinion is the sign of a great book and writer.
If you haven’t figured it by now I’m telling you that you can’t miss this read! It’s just as amazing as all of her other ones and will not disappoint!

This was one of my favorite romance themes “Brother’s best-friend/We shouldn’t be together”, so I knew I would like it. This story, like Holly’s others, was easy to get involved in quickly. The story was great, characters were fun too. Jase and Sophie had an attraction back in high school, but Jase is best friends with Sophie’s brother. They are both afraid of how her brother would feel about them as a couple. Once several years have passed and Sophie ends up working for Jase, the sparks fly between them again. Even with all the heat between them, It does not take long to see that they have something very real. All in all, this was a quick and entertaining read.
Double Shot was such a fantastic story and I absolutely loved it. I loved all of the characters in this story but of course, Sophie and Jase were my favorites. They had that undeniable chemistry and attraction from the very beginning and I knew their story would be one that would not disappoint. I absolutely enjoyed their back and forth banter and their Missy Elliot singing moments. There were sweet, steamy and funny moments throughout this story but there was also a bit of drama. Sophie’s mom was a trip and she is just one of the characters that had me laughing out loud. I devoured this book in one sitting and I’m so excited to read more books from this author. I will be recommending this book to family and friends looking for a fantastic brother’s best friend and office romance story. This story is one that is definitely worth reading.
