This was a great short story! It was original. Lily meets Gerritt at a bar while he is bartending. They start flirting with each other and she ends up leaving the bar with him. They have a night full of sex. But Lily insists it be their last because she tells him she is bad news. What Lily doesn’t tell him at that time is her ex-husband kidnapped her son, Nolan, and she has no idea where he is. So she is not capable of anything resembling love right now. But then she finds out that her ex-husband died in a car accident and Nolan was not in the car. She goes to the only place she feels comfortable…Gerritt’s. She tells him everything and tells him why she thinks she is responsible for the accident. Gerritt and Lily go to the scene of the accident and start doing their own investigating. What they find out will be shocking. But one thing is for sure…they are in this together.
Lily is trouble with a capital T and usually what Gerritt stayed away from. However there was something about her that drew him to her. Lily told herself it was a one night thing but she kept turning back to Gerritt and then and was blabbing her story to him. Gerritt wanted to help Lily but didn’t know how.

This was different than the other stories because it had just a tad little darkness in Lily. But you couldn’t blame her and it only made Gerritt want her more. Sexy, dark, and love!

She pushes away her best friend one night and decides to give herself a break for one night. She meets Geritt the bartender. Great short story with a happy ever after outcome to an old abusive relationship.

His Voodoo Lily by Alexis Adaire a five-star read that will have you booking tickets to Hell. This is such a surprise, its like two amazing stories wrapped up in one amazing novella, the first will take you on a journey through New Orleans, giving us a glimpse into Mardi Gras in the best way possible. Then it becomes so much more, I have enjoyed reading Alexis Adaire in the flirt club collections, but this one has me desperate to read the rest of her writing, I can’t wait to see what else she has written. This novella took me away and made me desperate to go visit.
Lily has had a rough time, divorcing her abusive ex, was a step in the right direction. Then everything in her life falls apart. Gerrit is a bartender who see Lily, and decides he wants her. Flirty commences, though it is low key. One hot night was all Lily would give, but Gerrit knew it wasn’t enough! There was some seious hot times between the sheets, on a float……. but there was some danger and criminal stuff too. I really enjoyed this story!
Mardi Gras, a bartender and a voodoo lily.
Lily is in a bad place. She’s had a three year dry spell and on Mardi Gras, remedies that with Gerrit, the bartender she hooks up with.
Gerrit is a bartender with out much, except mad skills in bed and a decent sort.
Only, it’s more than just a hook up, because Lily is looking for her son Nolan.
Drama, New Orleans style.

A bit of Voodoo magic in NOLA
Oh my Wow! Voodoo Lily is amazing. I loved the storyline. The perfect amount of steam. On my list of great reads. Lily has had a rough time of things. She’s in a local bar and just wants to try to forget for awhile. When she sees Gerrit she knows he could help her forget, at least numb the pain for awhile. Gerrit is under Lily’s spell. Her aggressiveness makes him want her more. They share an amazing time but that’s all Lily wants it to be. She doesn’t want to bring Gerrit into her troubles but the pull is there and Gerrit is the one that can help her if she just lets him in.
What a fantastic story!
This story is quite unique in its storyline and I loved it. Lily is going through a rough time in her life, her best friend decides she’s had enough and leaves her at a bar by herself. Lily sees the very handsome bartender, Gerrit and she plans to use him as a distraction. Gerrit seems to want more but with what Lily is going through she just can’t give it to him. Grab this wonderful book today and find out if Gerrit can convince Lily to take a chance on him. This is a great read and I highly recommend it!
