So I have read all the books in this series, love love love all these books. The writing sucks you in and next thing you know you might just be sitting at the bar with this fun group of intelligent people.
I was introduced to Staci Hart with the book 'With a Twist' when it was either free or .99, the cover got me. Have I mentioned I am a sucker for a great cover. Some of them you just cant walk away from. It's so easy to follow her stories, not a lot of drama and it doesn't take a lot to get to the point.
So Rose and Patrick were once an item and now are not. They decided to have a thing without a title and when it got too much for the other then it would end. However when it ended hearts were broken because by then feelings were in it for the long haul, just there was ZERO communication and neither person would man up.
Rose is a hard ass, stubborn and sticks it to ya. She tells ya what she thinks, but I think being a bartender it should probably be in her blood because she deals with the public and those poor me stories all the time. Although I have to say, I would have probably done the same thing if someone broke up with me then rubbed a new girl in my face less than a minute.
Patrick, bless his heart, has been miserable since telling Rose he wanted to end it. He knew it was wrong but his father and past have his head all weird and have him thinking he's not worth the love of someone special.
These two go round and round until they end up together. Its not easy and a lot happens and Patrick's past comes back to bite him in the ass but after a lot of holding my breath they are happy.
Once Rose Fisher makes a decision, that’s it. End of story.
Like when her ex, Patrick, dumped her out of the blue, then showed up with a super hot, tatted up sex kitten on his arm. Then it was over for good. The end. Poof. Dead to her. Except he was everywhere — down the hall, at the bar with their friends, worming his way into her dreams.
But with their friends paired off, they’re left alone more and more. Rose is determined to keep him friendzoned — doesn’t matter that he stares at her with a smolder that drops all panties in a ten foot radius. She’s over him, and she’ll prove it by getting back into the dating game, Patrick be damned.
Patrick Evans is no stranger to consequences. When your mother walks out, your dad drifts away. When you leave home, you’re on your own. And when you run away from the girl you love, you lose her. He finally has an opportunity to rebuild the bridge he burned, and it’s not one he’ll take for granted. But he’ll have to fight for her, even if it hurts. Even if it means he’ll walk away brokenhearted. Because deep down, he knows that she’s it for him.
The trick will be to get her to admit she feels it too.
