From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes an Enemies-to-Lovers Romantic Comedy.CAUTION: CONTAINS HOT COWBOY. Do not mix with wine. Avoid watching him do shirtless labor on hot days.SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE: Feeling of extreme temptation, excessive drooling over his abs, elevated heart rate, and loss of coherent thoughts when in his presence.My name is Camila Clark. And that sexy … presence.
My name is Camila Clark. And that sexy cowboy right there? The one with the devilish smile, twinkling brown eyes, and tattoos on his muscular arms? He’s Jed, the guy I turned down flat back in Texas. He just showed up here in Oregon at the winery where I work.
The question is why?
Not that it really matters. I have my reasons for staying away from all that manly temptation. Reasons he can’t possibly understand but seems determined to punish me for.
But the more I fight him, the more I learn about this mysterious, hot-as-hell cowboy. I just don’t know how much longer I can keep pretending to hate him.
The problem is, I’m technically engaged to a guy I’ve never met.

This is the perfect laugh out loud romance that everyone needs to read. This author is so versed in all her different genres she writes. She is absolutely fabulous. This is a series. You don’t need to read the previous books, but why wouldn’t you? The previous books are just as great. Another smash hit!
Once again Mimi has given me another book boyfriend I can’t help but love.
Jed in all his sexy cowboy hotness and such a strong moral compass.
Cami with her delightful, if be it inappropriate sailor mouth. But a heart of gold no the less.
The chemistry between these two is off the charts. The are the perfect fit.
The banter between these two is priceless and I was totally hooked from the start.
Perfect escape from reality during iso.
Another great read in the #HellNo series
I was given an ARC but voluntarily chose to review.
I laughed out loud and re-read the scene twice! This book is full of fun and romance. I could not put it down until it was the end. Mimi never disappoints with her books! This one was no exception!
This Brilliant storyteller delivers a laugh out loud, sexy, heartwarming and flat out fun time once again…. Really love this sexy yet fun series and this latest adventure just tops them all. This engaging and exciting couple were both witty and their adventure was an emotional thrill ride. Loved it!
This is actually the first of this series of books, even though I have all the rest waiting in my kindle.
This was a great escape from the trials of our everyday life at the moment. Fun and games with a cute cowboy and his ‘good girl’. Jed was quite the gentleman but Cami couldn’t half make him blush. She’s a handful and Jed certainly knows what to do with his hands… full or not, lol.
They have chemistry for miles and miles, but are complete opposites and you know what they say about them. Welp, these two were like matchsticks and gunpowder. Put them together and watch the explosion.
I really enjoyed my introduction to this crazy, zany world and now I’m off to start at the beginning with Smart Ass which is available for free!!!
This is book #6 in the series. However, they can all be read as standalones.
In this book we have Camilla Clark. She grew up in Utah, in a strict religious household. Camilla lives in Oregon and works at a winery, one of her dad’s friends wineries. However, he just sold the winery, and Camilla finds out its an ex-associate of hers that has bought it.
We also have Jed. Camilla worked with Jed down in Austin, TX. Camilla left for the job in Oregon. She was rude and harsh to Jed down in Austin, and she thinks he is after her in the stalker sort of way. Jed says no that’s not true, that he doesn’t find her attractive. Of course it is true, he does like her. Will Jed’s smooth cowboy ways help him win Camilla?
Will Camilla be able to get away from Jed and show him there is no future as a ‘them’ couple? As her parent’s want her to marry a person within their faith?
Will Jed’s “Texan” ways be able to persuade her?
I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.
Yall this book. I seriously snort laughed my way through it. I had to re-read a lot of it because of the laughter. Ms. Pamfiloff has the greatest knack for off the wall, goofy, smile-inducing, tears of joy, and just a knack for sassy, snarky dialogue but this book is her best yet. Imagine your school librarian with a serious case of a sailor’s mouth. That is our heroine, Camila. If you are even the bit offended by cussing, then this book is not for you but trust me, the cussing makes sense and it’s hilarious. My own mother cusses like a sailor, too but nothing like Camila.
Cussing aside, this book has a very valid point to it. Acceptance. Never judge a book by its cover and tolerance. I’m probably one of the most tolerant people but unfortunately, there are people like Camila’s parents. Not to mention Milton, her intended. Tell you what, Milton shines in his final scene and I loved it. It’s heartfelt, emotional, and funny as heck. Poor Milton but it sets up a later scene with Camila. All Camila wants is to marry for love, what’s wrong with that? With a hot cowboy that has a lot of layers? Why not.
Jed is the type of hero that I tend to love right from the beginning. He’s sexy, funny, and at times, full of himself but it works. After being turned away from Camila and one of her cussing episodes, I couldn’t help but feel that fell in love with her right then and there. But he is more than just a pretty face and a hot body. He has feelings, reads books, and smart. He went through a lot growing up and doesn’t understand why Camila’s parents are the way there are. Between all the charades at the winery, we get to see a man that has the patience of a saint and a good heart.
Gisselle and Leland make appearances in the book and oh how I missed them. They had laughter and levity to the romance between Jed and Camila. I almost got really pissed off during this book in regard to them but I understand why Ms. Pamfiloff did what she did with them. Yes, I’m putting it out there Ms. Pamfiloff. You made me mad.
There is a line in the book that still makes me laugh regarding having the big smexy time in the book. Camila says it and I swear I scared my dog when I snorted so loud. It was perfect but then again, that is the dialogue that Ms. Pamlifoff is so wonderful with. Her characters actually talk to each other. Refreshing.
This series is one of the best that I have read. You do not have to read them in order because each stands alone. However, do yourself a favor and read them. They are funny, sexy and the characters are strong. No damsels in distress or men that are douchebags. Just great reads all the way around.
Wine Hard, Baby is book six in the OHellNo series by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff. With every book I read of Mimi’s, no matter the series, she never fails to surprise me, to venture somewhere completely new and unexplored. That’s exactly what she did in this book. We have a sexy cowboy with morals and a nerdy numbers girl trying to please her family. The result is a whole lot of crazy.
Camilla (Cami) Clark is twenty three years old. She grew up in Utah in a very loving, supportive home with very religious parents. As she reached adulthood, she was encouraged to go to college, get her education. But when it came to falling in love, her parents insisted she was required to only marry a man they chose for her, an arranged marriage to a man she hasn’t even met yet. How can the parents who raised her, loved her, not want her to fall in love and find happiness?
Jed Redford was raised dirt poor but came into money later on. He’s a cowboy through and through as well as ex-marine. When Jed first met Cami, he was immediately interested. But she shot him down in spectacular fashion. Cami is now working for a winery, The Grape Ranch, in Pine Cove, Oregon. She loves her life her and is trying to figure out how to please her parents without giving up her own dreams. They will completely cut her out of their lives if she doesn’t do as they wish. Then, to complicate everything, the hot cowboy that she turned down back in Texas shows up with all his swooniness, complicating everything.
Cami was hilarious. She swears like a sailor when she gets flustered. And she made so many crazy mistakes when it came to Jed. But under it all, she is a good, sweet woman who is torn between pleasing her family and following her own dreams.
“It’s my life. I refuse to waste it.”
Both Jed and Cami have some unresolved issues. Even with all the turmoil Cami is experiencing, I loved how she saw right through Jed and set him straight. Well, maybe not at first, but she did eventually. I think this book is about living your best life as honorably as possible, for yourself, not for anyone else. About looking forward, not backward. And about trusting in yourself, trusting your heart. And finding your very own Happy Ever After.
When I started reading I couldn’t put it down.Mimi Jean Pamfiloff is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can’t wait for the next book
This is a standalone so no fear if you haven’t read the series yet, there is some hints at others books and it’s funny to see the characters speaking about the author’s work but if it’s your first book by her you will be able to enjoy it without any trouble.
There is romance, lot of bad mouth , steamy scene and great characters.
honestly i don’t think i would be as courageous as Camilla, yes she cuss a lot ( too much) , yes she can act stupid and too childish but deep down she is a good woman and deserve to be happy.
Jed had a difficult life and he hasn’t come in peace with it yet even if he thinks so and when Camilla push him away he is both sad and determined to win that lead to some funny situation.
It was really a good book to put our mind out of the actual situation. it you love steamy funny romance and don’t mind cussing this is the book for you
OHellYes!!! Cami & Jed are hilarious, hot, & sweet!!
I love the OHellNo books!! Always a great break from the stress of reality.
And this one was no exception to that tradition! I sat down to read this tonight and I’m sure my neighbors wonder if I’d lost my mind (since they all know I live alone) and I was laughing hysterically most of the evening…and talking to my Kindle.
Cami is a good girl with a nerve induced potty mouth. My goodness, she’d make a sailor blush. Jed is one hot cowboy. And Cami finds him infuriating…and arousing.
Their sparks keep lighting fires but not the right ones. Instead we get some hilarious, and precarious, situations instead.
We also get some prior characters from the bookiverse…after all Cami & Jed know Giselle & Leland plus there’s a nutty hitman. Plus Cami’s boss Hector, her family, and more…so much fun!!!!
I Floved this!! Absotively, posilutely, fantabulous!!
I received a review copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Cami is a calculator collecting math nerd with a secret and she lusts after man she can’t have. Jed is a dive bar owner with secrets of his own. Part friends to enemies to lovers, part rom-com, part WTF – Wine Hard, Baby provides laugh out loud moments, face palm moments, melted panty moments, toss your device/book across the room moments (look, it is not a Mimi book if you don’t want to throw it at least once), and one or two “am I going to cry” moments. In other words, this one has it all.
Wine Hard, Baby can be read as a stand-alone just fine. That said, I highly recommend starting at the beginning of the series because you need the laughs right now.
3.5 stars
Wine Hard, Baby felt a little disjointed to me.
Jed and Cami’s early meetings end a little in disaster. Cami is instantly attracted to Jed (and he the same to her), but she’s such a people pleaser that she lies and insults Jed just to get him to back off. Her parents (who live in Utah…Mormon, much?) are very religious and have high expectations of Cami marrying and sharing their faith. And Jed doesn’t fit their mold.
They meet up again at the winery she works at in Oregon at her bff’s wedding then again when he shows up to work at said winery. Lies and hidden truths and secrets happen. And this is where my disconnect comes in.
Cami obviously has feelings for Jed, even if they act a bit like enemies at times. But Jed? He seems indifferent to Cami for most of the book. So while I enjoyed this quick read, I felt a little let down by their romance.
Regardless, still a fun addition to the series.
#Hot, sexy tattooed cowboy who seems unable to set down roots……..check
#Potty mouthed heroine who is avoiding family obligations and keeping a secret as to why she’s pushing said hot, sexy, tattooed cowboy away……..check
#Two people who do their upmost to convince the other they’re not interested to the point of wanting to knock their heads together……..check
Hilarious consequences in this well written, entertaining, sweet, funny, sassy, kind of enemies to lovers story, with an underlying theme about how happiness is your own to find if you’re brave enough to grab it on your own terms, no-one else’s.
I love Mimi Jean Pamfiloff’s books, they’re fun, sexy and easy to read, but have a good dose of angst and twisty drama too. They always put a smile on my face. A great addition to this lovely series.
4.25 stars
With this installment of this series, I was not sure what to expect at the beginning of Jed and Camilla’s story but I was definitely not disappointed with their journey. At the start, the pair had this push pull type attraction where there was a pull between the two characters as they were both pushing each other away for various reasons even when the chemistry between them was electric. Through a series of misunderstandings and mishaps the pair had some realizations about their real feelings for each other as well as what they wanted in a relationship for the long term.
I liked how the story progressed and the return of the characters from the previous book of this series with Leland and Giselle. I also enjoyed the sailor mouthed moments that Camilla had as well as the banter between her and Jed. I found this book to be quite the page turner and once I was able to break away from real life I wasn’t able to put it down once I started. Overall, I would recommend this book to others.
Mimi Jean never fails to deliver an entertaining story!
This one was laugh-out-loud hilarious at times and heartfelt in others. It was all perfectly blended to make a magnificent story with underlying themes I absolutely loved.
There is a line that truly grabbed hold of me near the end that I absolutely loved.
Look forward to her next book.
Wine Hard, Baby is book six in the OhHellNo series. Jed and Camilla ceased to amaze me. These two run hot and cold with each other but they never have up on one another. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
Omg … so friggin hilarious!!
I absolutely love every single thing that Mimi writes and this was no exception. Wine Hard, Baby brought so many emotions from me… but mostly laughter. Camilla and Jeds story was just what I needed. You first meet these two characters in My Pen is Huge and the chemistry was off the charts awesome. Since Camilla knows her family won’t approve of Jed, she says the meanest things just so he won’t tempt her anymore. She leaves Texas behind to work at a winery thinking she’ll never see him again. The only problem is that they are both in their friends wedding.
Camilla has so many different challenges that she has to face. First there’s what happens at the wedding rehearsal dinner, then finding out she had a new boss, and let’s not forget the $90,000 she accidentally lost the company…and the new boss seems like a complete tool. But of a course there’s always more than meets the eye. Jed is an amazing man and Camilla just can’t help but to fall more & more for him. Her family, though, is absolutely insane if they think and arranged marriage will ever work – LOL.
There were so many funny parts, but you’re gonna have to read it yourself so you can laugh as well at Camilla’s antics!!
I absolutely recommend this book!!
I recieved an ARC for my honest review.
Feelings get turned all the way up and set the roof on fire. Jed and Camila deliver more than a little spice. Pamfiloff thrives on the unpredictable and Wine Hard Baby has that quality in spades. Jed and Cami bring out the best in each other at the worst of times. She speaks her mind and follows her heart. He bides his time and always has a plan. Sparks fly, tempers ignite and hormones explode in the most savory of ways. You can’t go wrong when the three H’s (Humor, Heart and Heat) come out to play.
While this is an amazing stand alone story, it does contain characters we have met in a previous book. Camilla, best friend of Giselle from His Pen is Huge, agrees to do a favor and give her opinion of the value of a cowboy bar in Austin. The owner of the bar just happens to be a red hot cowboy and lust is in the air. Afraid of her own feelings, she says terrible things to him and runs! When we next find her, she has settled into a new job in a winery in Oregon. She loves the job but knows she can’t stay forever. She comes from a very religious family who believe in arranged marriages. Having already dodged one marriage, she knows it’s just a matter of time until they find her another. Her boss tells her that he has sold the winery so that he can retire. Oddly, the new suit who is introduced as the new owner but the other new employee is, of course, out hot cowboy. Feelings are all over the place. She wants him but because of her family, she knows she can’t have him and keep her family. He seems to not wasn’t her anymore. Will they? Won’t they? Lots of laughs and plot twists as always. Great read!
