Corked and Tapped is the name of the local neighborhood bar, though the patrons may argue it is far from ordinary. Be prepared for high heat and a whole new level when it comes to “one-night stands.”
Her blind date is a no-show. Disappointing, but the guy sitting at the bar is hot. Even better—he proposes filling in for “Mike.” No way will Aria turn him down. But how far is she willing to go with this stranger?
A dry martini, a noisy bar, and a sexy man on the stool next to her. Grace certainly needs some excitement in her boring life. His proposal sends a chill down her spine. She’s never had a one-night stand, but maybe tonight she should throw caution to the wind. Yeah, this is totally going to happen.
Her divorce is final. It’s time to put herself out there. Brooklyn’s been flirting with the bartender for months. Is he even interested? More importantly, will her heart survive a one-night stand?
Jade can’t believe her eyes. The two men she’s been in love with since high school just stepped into the bar. Coincidence? They’re acting strange. Are they together? And why are they both hitting on her?

Having read all of these stories individually when they came out, I can honestly say that this is probably one of the best compilation books you'll find. Each story is completely standalone, & yet familiar characters & setting provides a feeling of continuity. All of the characters & the situations they find themselves in are wonderfully individual. Each story is fun, quick & hot. What more do you want? Read separately, I rated each of these books no lower than a 4.
Nothing like signing up for dating sites and not finding a match. Giving a new site a chance, this one is different. No pictures on the premise that just maybe you could find someone based on what you really want in a partner.
Aria has played it safe this time too, she didn't jump into a date, they emailed and then texted for a couple of weeks before she agreed to meet him. The bar they are meeting at is called Corked and Tapped, a smallish but nice place. Aria is a bit early and when the waitress tells her to sit anywhere mentions she's meeting someone and told she could wait at the bar should she desire.
Looking around she waits for a bit, then decides to approach the one single man at the bar who could possibly be her date Mike. His response to her inquiry is in the blurb and had me giggling.
This 'date' rapidly heats up from here. The conversation alone is worthy of a prolonged encounter.
Kindle melting heat, with witty repartee and some interesting surprises!
Grace - Book 2
A normally straight-laced lawyer, Grace has given herself permission to let loose. She deserves to unwind and relax. She really works too hard, all the time. She decides on a neighborhood bar she's never been to and is delightfully surprised at the environment.
There's only one seat available, in the corner next to a gorgeous man.
After introductions, things start to heat up.
I loved the conversation as it gets hotter and hotter. The hemming and hawing that leads to decisions that Grace might not normally make.
While I expected some of the outcome, I definitely got surprised.
Plenty of build-up and extremely sensuous with sizzling heat.
Brooklyn - Book 3
I am love these Novellas, they are fun, amusing, sexy and kindle melting.
Brooklyn's divorce is finalized after a year of agonizing negotiations. She's looking forward to flirting with Owen, the bartender at Corked and Tapped. Owen has become a friend, listening to her ups and downs over the past year.
Little does she know, Owen has been waiting for this day as well. He doesn't flirt with married women, not even separated ones. Now that she's free, Owen definitely brings his A game.
Every one notices the heavy duty flirting going on, and Mike, the owner, warns Brooklyn that Owen is not an interim type boyfriend. Even Jade notices the intense heat and makes some comments.
I laughed, gasped and almost cried as this sexy little tale unfolds.
Jade - Book 4
Jade, one of the waitresses at Corked and Tapped, gets quite a surprise when two men from her past show up in her present. Not only are they even more handsome and buff they also deliberately sought her out.
Jade is conflicted, Brody was her boyfriend and Carter was their friend, she still has a problem, one she couldn't solve in the past and one she's not sure she can deal with now. She wants them both.
Brody convinces her to join them at Carter's apartment when she gets off work. Of course her boss Mike just encourages her to leave a bit early.
There are plenty of emotions as memories of the past collide with new and unfamiliar territory for Jade. However, before anything can be said, she needs to confess something she saw, the night she decided to sever all ties.
Oh the reactions were priceless and when they finally get her to listen and actually hear what they are saying, things heat up rapidly.
Let me just say, these novellas are getting hotter with every release. I think I melted along with my kindle with the sizzling heat coming off the pages.
Neighborhood bar. Magical barstool. Welcome to the Corked and Tapped. The drinks are fantastic, the atmosphere is excellent, and everybody's friendly. But prepare to have your fantasies come true. Specially if you're sitting on The Magic Barstool...
Love the characters. They are on fire for each other love Their hot 🔥 journey coming each other. Who knew a there is stool with the magical touch. Cant wait to read more
What a unique, intriguing concept with tons of passion and fun tossed into the mix. I enjoyed each of the stories separately and the book as a whole. Thank you, Becca Jameson, for another intense read that kept me reading through the night, lol.
Hot fun read. Excellent short stories with lots of twists. You enter a neighborhood bar and meet some very well developed characters with deeper stories than you expect.
This was exactly the book I needed right now. I’ve been reading a lot of dark stuff and I needed something sweet and very sexy. This definitely qualifies as both.
I found this collection discounted on Amazon via Bookbub; this is my honest review. #1 Aria 5 stars; #2 Grace 5 stars; #3 Brooklyn 4 stars; #4 Jade 4 stars -Ends completely unexpected. It's hot, steamy, romantic, full of chemistry, passion, fun - lots of fun considering the end. -Totally believable stories - it could happen to you too! -Highly recommend. Trying to get the other sets. -One thing that comes back in every story, multiple times, is that the ladies all came about "feeling a flush heat" somehow somewhere on their body.
