On The Rocks: Book One of The Bartending Trilogy
One Woman desperate for a job. Four Mafia Men with a newfound obsession.
When I walked into that bar, desperate for a job, I never expected to meet four men who would change my life forever.
Their hot and cold attitudes leave me reeling, but I can't stay away.
Atlas, Theo, Dawson and Andros have cast a spell on me, and I see the good that is buried deep inside their rugged exteriors.
I know I should run, especially when they tell me they rule the Italian mafia.
But something about them has me determined to stay.
And I love a good challenge...
Read the first published novel by Kate Elizabeth. It's filled with classically toxic men, who will steal your heart and make you angry all in one comment. This reverse harem romance novel is jam-packed with sarcasm, smut and laughable moments, all designed to capture your attention and steal you away from reality.

Five stars all the way.
My most anticipated read of 2025 has been read and I was not disappointed at all. Kate did absolutely amazing writing this and knowing I was there and helping her write it is crazy to me.
The writing style for all the characters was just amazing. I’m glad that none of the characters have the exact same backgrounds. It makes it more fun to read.
Hazel is probably one of my FAVORITE female main characters of all time. Her brattiness is literally what I wish to have in life. She’s that icon that everyone wants to be.
Atlas is probably the one that took me a while to love—in both the versions I’ve read. I love him so much but oh my god this dude is stubborn as fuck.
Theo oh my god the hardest one to crack. He was amazing but whoa—this dude was darker than Atlas. He’s the one I would smile at when he got mentioned just because he’s amazing.
Dawson oh my god this dude and his little spitfire 🤭 he was so fun to read about and his comments got me giggling
And Andros omg. He should call himself an angel because this dude is compared to the other LMFAO! no but genuinely he’s my favorite after Theo and I’ll never change that.
Wait no scratch that Alessia is my favorite (probably spelled that wrong but I’m half asleep) she’s so cute and oh my god I want to give her the biggest hug ever after reading that ending 🙁 she’s just a little girl she didn’t ask to be born into this.
Overall this book was amazing and I’m so excited for With A Twist!!

DNF 11%
It's the wild wild west of grammar, punctuation and sentence structure in this book. At 11% in, I reported thirty-five errors to Amazon.
There are some basic rules the author doesn't understand: First, any number under 100 is typed out (exceptions exist). Second, the author doesn't understand how to format terms of endearment correctly. And third, this author hasn't met a comma splice that she doesn't love.
And don't even get me started on the very stupid nicknames that the MMC's give the FMC after only being in her presence for like two minutes. I've started to realize that the less mature authors use nicknames as crutches and this book further solidifies that point.
The places, people, and city weren't developed. I didn't feel like I was seeing London from the FMC's eyes. While the FMC was working, I didn't feel like I was with her. There was a lack of depth, imagery, and maturity in the writing.
Oh, and within thirty seconds of meeting the FMC, one of the MMC's threatens sexual punishment against her.
As a new author, Elizabeth fell into the trap of not knowing how to move the plot forward without rewinding the chapter. For example, if we read a scene from the FMC's POV, we had to relive that scene from one of the MMC's POVs. It was unnecessary.

This book has everything. Mafia men, reverse harem, obsessive/possessive men, strong female lead, and most importantly delicious smut.
