Her: Unstoppable, workaholic, driven force of nature. Him: The exact opposite of that. Phebe Stark needs a punching bag. No, on second thought, she needs a donut. No, on third thought, she needs to escape into a dark bar with a strong drink. She’s just been harassed, for the umpteenth time, by the slimy supervisor standing between her and a shattered glass ceiling at her high-pressure Atlanta … high-pressure Atlanta firm. But then a tall, bearded, sexy lumberjack of a bartender saunters over, and suddenly Phebe knows she doesn’t need gin . . . she needs him.
Brody Cantrell didn’t exactly intend to become a bartender. He planned to help out at his ailing uncle’s bar for a year, then get an advanced degree and rise to the top of his field. Instead, he got a Ph.D. in Real Life from his customers. Brody thinks he’s seen everything—until he meets Phebe Stark. And when he gets a load of her fearless sexting skills, he just has to see what’s under that power suit. Brody’s certain they’ll have a good time or two—nothing serious. Then again, all these steamy messages and breathless trysts have him seriously considering . . . Why not?
This ebook includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

You will really like Brody’s character. He has the makings of being a well grounded man. He is simple, easy going, but also honest, direct, a fighter, responsible, very observant, kind, understanding, humble, sexy and intense. With so much description you can see I liked him LOL. The character I didn’t like was Phebe. But that is OK, it is actually needed because she is so closed off to life’s joy that him entering her life is like a much needed eye opener. This story has good supporting characters and good lessons to be learned. Both of them at some point end up applying what they have learned from the other to make major changes in their lives. And it is good that their obstacles are not overcome the easy way, even if it took them a bit long to get there. Their story shows you that what your mind is set up to have almost certainly will not be what you will need. And too much focus can cause you to miss new and better opportunities.
Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) I dislike giving bad reviews but I have to with this one. This book was booooorrrriiing, and too slow, I tried a couple of times but then gave up. I didn’t like the main character Phebe, and that is sad because if you can’t deal with them than it is hard to muddle thru. Brody not so bad actually I even liked him but even he couldn’t save the story, sorry folks but just can’t. New author for me, but definitely will not add to my read pile. Save yourself time, don’t do it.
