Dark and brooding, Dr. Robert Wyatt, seems to have his life completely under control. #1 He’s Chicago’s top billionaire bachelor. #2 He saves lives every day as a pediatric surgeon. His life is orderly and, for the most part, emotionless.
Jeannie Kaufmann thought she finally had her life on track. She’s a bartender with a goal of having her own bar someday. Her sister is having a baby, and she is planning on helping her as much as she can. She’s intrigued by Dr. Wyatt, who frequently visits the bar, doesn’t say much, and only wants her perfectly made Manhattan.
When Jeannie doesn’t show up for work one day, all hell breaks loose! We see just how near Robert is to losing control and just how overwhelmed Jeannie is. Even though they are from two completely different worlds, they may be just what the other needs.
This was an intense story with an immediate attraction between Robert and Jeannie. Of course, it’s romantic for Robert to play the white knight and want to fix everything in Jeannie’s life, but I loved how Jeannie carefully brought Robert out of his shell and opened him up to love. There are some dark issues in Robert’s past, and I thought there was a satisfying resolution to his family issues.
Sarah M. Anderson is at the top of her game with her brand new release! I’ve read a lot of category romance through the thirty plus years that I’ve been a romance reader, and this is by far the most tortured hero that I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching evolve in the short span of this size of book. To be able to take such an emotionally stunted man and redeem him this quickly and so well took a tremendous amount of talent. Kudos Ms. Anderson!
When a family issue leaves bartender Jeannie Kaufman having to take a few days away from Trenton’s bar, she knows her favorite customer isn’t going to be happy. She’s the only one he wants to approach him, the only one who can make his drink correctly, the only one he talks to. Every weekday, at the exact same time of day, no exceptions.
Doctor Robert Wyatt needs Jeannie. When she doesn’t return to the bar the night she promised him she would, he knows something must be wrong. He tracks her down and finds that she’s unexpectedly been made the guardian of her brand new niece and sets out to help her when he sees how overwhelmed she is. It doesn’t take long for their attraction to flare into more as they work side by side, but he has a dangerous secret past that she knows nothing about. Can he bring himself to be honest with her and open her up to the ugly sins of his family?
This was a wonderful love-story which read like a fairy tale. I loved the boldness and daring side of Jeannie, the bartender, towards her billionaire. At first, reading the first chapters, it seemed she was like a damsel in distress, but that was her grieving and beyond exhausted. Later on, a very daring and embracing life person had entered the story, challenging her billionaire and comforting him in the same time so he could open his heart. I loved this story in which goodness overwins all.
