Love After Midnight #1
Rum and Notes
My life was boring until I met him.
Painfully tedious, pathetically lonely, and I absolutely hated it.
But I was too scared to do anything about it. Too scared to change . . . at least until I met Kace.
I should have been terrified of him—scared of his size (he towered over my short, curvy self), freaked out by the fierce tats covering his arms and torso (they even crawled up his neck), and definitely frightened by the angry scowl he unleashed on anyone who dared to disrupt him (though this happened rarely, it still did happen).
Except, Kace seemed to like me—shy, boring, socially inept me. He couldn’t change the tats or the towering, but he rarely unleashed his trademark scowl on me.
Okay, so maybe it was more like he tolerated me, but regardless, Kace didn’t seem to care that I hung around the bar he worked at, putting my night owl tendencies to work as I wrote.
See, my work was the only place I explored. My safe place to write as dirty and steamy and kinky of books as I wanted.
My readers loved them—loved the hot sex, the tough alphas, the guaranteed happy endings. As thus, I made good money, only somewhat because I was a decent writer, but mostly because my imagination was very active, beyond active . . . some might even say too active.
As for me personally? I’d never experienced anything close to the types of things I wrote.
But I’d decided it was time to change that.
With scowly, sexy, terrifying Kace.

4 stars.⭐⭐⭐⭐
I really...really liked this book. An honest to goodness... real and feel-good romance.
It was short, sweet and lots of fun...Brooke and Kace were not the obvious choice for each other but I loved this matchup ...sweet alpha male and shy, nerdy romance writer.
Elise Faber has really became one of those authors for me... that when I pick up her books I am sucked into the storyline fairly quickly and all her characters have an original, fresh and interesting feel...I like her writing style.
I was also thrilled to pick this up as a freebie on Amazon....so win-win. What more can I say!!!

I love Brooke
. That’s it.
Okay, maybe I should expand LOL but there’s not much detail I can give you. The story is pretty short(ish) but delicious in all the right ways! It made me happy to read about shy Brooke and alpha Kace. They made a fun couple. An odd pairing that worked ridiculously well!
I’m loving Elise Faber more and more with each story I read. I’m beginning to turn to her more and more when I need a quick, well written story and that makes me happy! If you read like I do, you need quite a few go-to authors and she’s made it on that list!

Brooke has caught Kace's eye and she has no idea. She's just been working on her writing while at his bar, using him as her muse, making him into the heroes in all her romances. Little does the shy writer know, but Kace has been crushing on her since she first started coming in. Now all he has to do, is find the right time to make his move.
This is such a sweet, sexy story. I love the contrast between shy Brooke and alpha sweetheart Kace. Their connection is really strong, and their chemistry is hot. You can't ask for more in a good romance.

Babe....lol
I liked this one, my first by this author. It was short and sweet. Brooke was awkward and quirky, Kace was sweet alpha. I look forward to Brent getting his HEA in the next one.

I loved Brooke! Insecure, kind of nerdy and a romance writer, she’s spent every night of the last six months at the neighborhood bar, where sexy bartender Kace inspires her to write sexy, tatted heroes.
Their conversations are always superficial, but Kace has been cataloging everything he can about Brooke. When Kace sees what is on her laptop one day and makes the connection to him, he makes his move... and refuses to back down until he makes Brooke his.
This was such a feel-good story, and I read it in a single sitting, a little more than an hour. Kace and Brooke both have hurt in their pasts, and their broken souls find each other in a lovely way. She always feels like she’s not good enough to be with a hunk like him, and he can’t believe that someone so good and pure cares enough for him to do a simple thing like bake banana bread. All the feels!

Brooke is an author who creates romances from her fantasies rather than from personal experience. She finds that she is most creative when she writes at the local pub as the sexy bartender certainly gets her creative juices flowing even though she knows that he is out of her league.
From the moment that Kace saw Brooke he was enchanted by her but doesn’t think he is the type of man that she would be interested in. Appearances can be deceiving and when he finds out her secret it becomes a game changer.
Sweet and sexy these two couldn’t be more perfect for each other.

Brooke and Kace both have an unfair history but end up finding each other which is unfair for the people around them. Cute story, insta-love, and an easy read.

Laugh-out-loud funny and panty-melting hot!!! The heroine is quirky and smart while the hero is a good balance of alpha and sweet. The story is good with great plot twists and some depth to the characters. This is a great read!!! 4.5 stars!

I have to say, Elise Faber is becoming one of my top authors. It’s crazy how she is able to easily captivate, and pull me into the story so fast. She leaves me wanting more from start to finish. Rum and Notes is a significantly outstanding book that I couldn’t put down. It’s fun, quick, and I wanted to read every single story of the characters I meet in this book.
Brooke is a writer for steamy romance books, and writes at a bar called Bobby’s. Kace is the extremely sexy tattooed bartender, who has been secretly pining for her. Brooke believes she isn’t beautiful enough for someone as hot as Kace. She think’s that she’s too shy, quiet, and awkward, but that’s exactly why Kace wants her. He becomes the perfect fit for her, and helps her realize how beautiful she truly is.
Kace is my favorite type of book boyfriend. He’s patient, puts Brooke first, supportive in her career, and is protective. Many times, Kace backed off until he knew she was ready. He knew under her armor was something worth waiting for. I love the way Brooke and Kace were able to open up to each other. There was absolutely no judgement, and they understood each other in ways most wouldn’t.
This is a fast paced plot that kept me intrigued the entire time. The only con I had was that it was a short read. I loved the style of writing, and wanted more of this fantastic love story. I’m definitely looking forward to the other books in this series. There is just something truly special about sweet love that this book was able to show case.

This was a fun quick read about an overly shy author and the alpha man she falls in love with. It definitely wasn't what I thought it would be but I still really enjoyed it. I liked Harper a whole lot. She reminds me of myself to a point, but also of so many women I know. She had lost so much in her past and hadn't pushed past the pain. She didn't believe she was good enough or even beautiful enough for a man as "hot" as Kace. But she was all that and more, especially when she finally started to shine. Now let's talk about Kace. I liked him a lot. He was sweet, kind, and all the women thought he was hot. He had his own past which defined him but he came alive with Harper. Their relationship was fast paced but I kind of have to agree with Kace when he said that they already had 6 months of foreplay.
Now there were two parts of this story that I wasn't sure about. I wasn't so sure about the Tabatha part. I'm sure the author wanted to add a bit of drama but honestly the story could have easily survived without it. Then there was Steven. That was just stupid. I'm sorry, it's been 10 years. He had no right to step in there and cause drama and he was stupid for thinking that he did.
Other than those few moment I thought this book was pretty decent and am looking forward to the next book already. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*

Since discovering Elise Faber, I’ve found my happy place reading her books. “Rum and Notes” her latest release is a deliciously sweet, slow burn romance that will leave you smiling from page 1. Brooke is a thirty something, stuck in the eighties, curvaceous redheaded, romance writer. Needing a place to write she takes up residence at a bar not to far from her apartment. The bar provides her with the perfect spot to work and it provides inspiration for her alpha main characters. Kace - sexy bartender extraordinaire, has no problem getting attention from the ladies, except it would seem, from the one woman he’s been pining after for the last six months. Patient to a fault, he waits to strike. When the opportunity presents itself, he takes advantage of it. Brooke writes romance but has never experienced it first hand, until Kace. Kace has never had a family or a woman who cares for him, until Brooke. Together they become what the other needs, wants, craves, deserves - a match made in romance writing heaven. TBR this fantastic book and fall in love with Brooke and Kace. (I read an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.)

I’m a fan of all Elise Faber’s Books so was excited for a new series.
This is a story of a shy author who spends her evenings tucked in the corner of a neighborhood bar writing romance novels. Much of her inspiration comes from the sexy bartender who serves her Diet Coke throughout the night, though she hasn’t spoken to him outside of her drink order for six months.
One night he snatches her laptop to see what she is working in and realizes her hero is based on him, good looking, well built and covered with tattoos. This sets things in motion as He has been watching her just as much in the past six months.
While Brooke is shy for the most part, Kace brings out a boldness in her that is sweet and surprising. Despite his appearance, we find Kace is a a sweet and protective guy. The two together make for a light and enjoyable romance that reminds us that things aren’t always as they appear and beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
I’m looking for more of this series as we got a glimpse of Brent in the epilogue!!

I received a complimentary ARC - early release copy of this book in Kindle format from the author for review purposes.
This is a novella size romance between a romance author, Brooke and the bartender, Kace where she writes and hangs out every night. It was a sweet and HOT romance and I really enjoyed it and loved the characters. It has a military aspect to it, so if you like a good military romance you will enjoy it as well.
Brooke is an author and to escape a noisy neighbor she finds a bar where she can write her book, a romance and its very erotic and the star is her bartender, Kace. She has a major thing for him but she thinks he is just polite to her, until he discovers her hot imagination and he wants her to go out with him.
She thinks he is too sexy for her, but what she doesn't know if that Kace wants more. He wants someone and he wants that to be Brooke. But can he make her see that? Brooke is pretty alone as well, as her military brother died and they were both orphans. So she is looking for something as well.

Brooke is anything but boring!
Author Brooke McAlister needed to find a place that was open late and allowed her to write for hours on her laptop and she found it at her local bar which helped because she was night owl. Brooke never showed anybody her writing but when the bartender opened up her laptop he found out that she was using him as inspiration in her writing. Kace was interested in Brooke and reading her writing allowed him an opportunity to actually ask her out. Brooke thought she was boring and didn’t think gorgeous guys would like her but talking to Kace for six months was a way of getting to know each other before dating.
Rum & Notes is a very good contemporary by Elise Faber that everyone needs to read because it’s a good story about Brooke finding out that Kace wants to ask her out.
I would give it 4 ½ stars if I could!

I've read a few other Elise Faber books, and I know that I can generally count on her books to fun, funny, interesting and one-sit reads.
Rum and Notes is the start of a new series - Love After Midnight. It follows Brooke, a shy, quiet romance writer, and her unwitting muse, Kace, a hot, tattoed, thoughtful bartender that works at the bar in which she writes her novels.
Brooke sees herself as a shy plain Jane, but Kace sees her as beautiful and intriguing. While Brooke has been using Kace as inspiration for the leading men in her books, Kace has been harboring a crush on Brooke.
The connection between Brooke and Kace was evident from the first chapter, and it was great to see how their relationship unfolds. Kace is a sexy, protective, sweet alpha male that wants only to take care of Brooke and teach her how beautiful she is.
It's a bit of a slow burn, but it's also relatively short, so it's not that slow of a burn. Well-written, clever and addicting.

This is the 1st in a new series and what a fantastic introduction this is! Brooke is shy and quiet and is an author who goes to a local bar to write, where sexy barman Kace is her inspiration although he does not know that. Kace can have any woman he wants but his eye is set on Brooke, and when he gets the opportunity, he goes for it. No spoilers: this is an absolute must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a beautifully written tale which is a slow burn romance, as well as being a fun, entertaining and steamy read. I was captivated throughout this riveting story, and I cannot wait to read more from this gifted author whose work I highly recommend for all readers.

Rum and Notes is book 1 in the new series
Love after Midnight series by Elise Faber. It is about a shy romance author named Brooke McAlister who spends her nights writing her book at a bar and the bartender at the bar named Kace is her inspiration for her heroes in her stories.
This is a really good yet short story. It's steamy, sweet, cute and just delicious. Kace and Brooke are made for each other! The feels are huge in this story. I will say that I do wish that we had more time with the main characters to get more time together with them; otherwise, good read.
My Rating: 4.4 stars *******

Rum and Notes is a fun read. It begins with a erotica writer who does her best writing at a bar getting inspiration from the bartender Kace. Little does Brooke know the months she has spent watching him and writing at the corner of his bar he's been watching and wanting her too. That is until the day she decides to be brave.
I really liked Brooke and Kace and they both had flaws but were awesome. As different as they seemed they were perfect for each other.
I recommend Rum and Notes if you are looking for a good and spicy read.

I forgot how much I love this author
I read a bunch of the hockey series earlier this year after a Facebook ad hooked me with the first book free, ordered the rest of the series, got distracted by life, and occasionally noticed them in my library.
Had the chance to earn free coins by checking out 3 chapters of this book on one of those reading apps.
Next thing I know, I hopped over to Kindle and finished this book for free.
Now I’m off to read the rest of this series 🎉
Quirky heroine, sweet alpha male, steamy chemistry, and just a twinge of drama, with a fabulous HEA, and a hook into the next story.

Rum and Notes is a fantastic start to this new series. I loved every moment of this quick read. You will not want to put it down because it is so hot. Brooke is a bit shy but you will love her so much. Then there is Kace the hot bartender but yet so much more. He maybe Brooke's muse for her books but he doesn't disappoint when those two are together. There is just this sweetness about Kace and Brooke that you will just love. By the time you finish this one you will have a big smile on your face. I can't wait for more.

I adored this delightful romance. Brooke and Kace's story was incredibly fun, sweet, steamy and cute. I think that this is a book that was really crafted with romance readers in mind and as such it was very easy to connect with and fall for. This is a shorter length read but a very satisfying one. Sure, I would have loved to spend more time with this wonderful couple but I never felt cheated or let down because this story didn't deliver because that was just not the case. This is my elective, candid review.

I gobbled this book right up. It was a fast read for me and I finished in one day. I really couldn't put it down. I loved Brooke and Kace. Their banter was one of my favorite parts of the book.

I highly recommend taking a ride of their journey. You won't be disappointed! I also like the set up for the next book. It has me already eagerly awaiting it!

Can she get the star of her fantasies to bring her wild side into the light? Faber steps out of her comfort zone to rock the hearts of her die hard fans.

I absolutely loved this hot, sexy story! It captured me from the first page! I couldn’t put it down! I loved Brooke and Kace! She’s a shy romance writer and he’s a hot, sexy bartender that she uses as her muse.
When he finds out her hero is based on him all bets are off! He’s going to make her his! I loved this story! This series is off to a great start! I can’t wait for the next book in the Love After Midnight series!

A quick, sweet romance with a little spice and a lot of heart. I loved the premise and connection between the characters. Their chemistry and willingness to seize happiness was heartwarming and healing. Although complicated pasts and personal complexities were mentioned, the story lacked depth in addressing these. While I would have gladly read a full-sized novel of their story, I still enjoyed this!
