“You’ve heard it before but you haven’t yet seen how Cassie and Harry do it…” The classic tale of sobbing one’s heart out to a bartender gets its own twist. What happens when a sexy as hell bartender, tropical location, and a disheartened young woman all come together? Trouble, and that’s just the beginning. Cassie finds herself revealing far too much to Harry, the hot local bartender, on the first night of her friend’s destination bachelorette party. Harry is no stranger to heartache, he’s had enough of his share to go around. Being an expert, of sorts, with broken hearts and women, it’s obvious that Cassie’s fiancé back home doesn’t deserve a woman like her. It takes one to know one when it comes to a player, Harry figures. But that’s just it– Harry’s playing days might just be over, he knows every manipulative move Cassie’s fiancé , Evan, makes and more. With just a short week to get to know Cassie, can Harry prove that one–Evan is all wrong for her? Two– that Harry, himself is done with his own games, and finally– does a man such as himself even deserve Cassie?Harry’s not sure, but one thing is certain–a man like Evan does not. Harry lays all on the line for what he can only explain away as love at first sight. A gut feeling and so much more. If only he can convince Cassie to take a chance on him, Harry just might have a shot at changing his reputation as the island’s most eligible bachelor and ending his own tales of heartache at his local tiki bar.

Help Me Harry (Collection: Sun, Sand & A Ring On My Hand Book #2) is a fun insta-love romance by Mya O'Malley.
Cassie when a trip to Key West for her friends bachelorette party where a chance meeting with a hunky bartender at the local tiki bar has her re-evaluating her life.
Harry works as a bartender at the tiki bar, who came to Key West to escape his painful memories and to get a fresh start. He has earned himself a bit of a player reputation with no real intention of changing, until Cassie turns up with the bachelorette group. He is drawn to her right away- now he just has to convince her to give him a chance. One small problem- she’s engaged….
A fun read- although it did seem a little rushed towards the end. I am looking forward to seeing what Ms. O’Malley has in store for us next.

When you think you have the most perfect life but when a trip away ignites something inside you that makes you think do you act on it or keep the peace.

Cassie is planning to go away with her best friends on a bachelorette party, can Cassie enjoy the trip away without thinking about work, her book and her fiance. After arriving at the resort they wonder down to the pool bar where she meets Harry.

Harry is getting over his divorce and has a love and leave them attitude for his relationships but there is just something about Cassie that has peaked his interest and want to discover what will happen but there's one problem she is engaged.

As the story goes through the relationship of Harry and Cassie you understand that Cassie is second guessing her love for Evan and is he the guy she wants for the rest of her life, but when news devastates Cassie will Harry be there to pick up the pieces.

I loved this story, Cassie's character was great and flawed, the relationship she had with Harry was lovely and they became we suited opposites. I thought the story was well written and an easy read, I was routing for them from the beginning and enjoyed every word.

This is not the first book I have read by this author and I recommend this book for a quick, easy read and if you love a happy ever after this is for you.

I enjoyed this contemporary romance by Mya O’Malley, it’s book two in the ‘Sun, Sand & A Ring On My Hand’ collection of standalone novellas. During her friends tropical destination bachelorette party and after a few too many drinks Cassie finds herself talking to the sexy bartender Harry. Listening to Cassie about her fiancé Evan, Harry thinks Evan is a ‘player’ and does not deserve Cassie. Harry had been a bit of a heartbreaker himself in the past and had also had his heart broken but he feels an instant attraction to Cassie. Cassie had been feeling more and more unsure about her relationship with Evan, finding him manipulative and finds the bartender very easy to talk too but is wary of his reputation. With only a week to prove to Cassie that Evan is not the man for her and that he is, Harry has to convince her to act on her own feelings after all love at first sight is to rare to ignore. I loved the characters, Harry and Cassie were both likeable and realistic and their instant attraction came through thanks to the authors wonderful narrative. The storyline had me hooked and moved along at a swift pace which kept me fully immersed in the romance. I was hoping Harry and Cassie would get a happy ever after, no spoilers as I recommend you pick this book up as a great summer read.

Help Me Harry
By Mya O’Malley
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book Help Me Harry by Mya O’Malley. It’s a story that pulled me in from the beginning. I loved reading about the characters of Cassie and Harry. From the minutes that they meet Harry feels a connection to Cassie that he hasn’t felt in a long time. The past has taught him a lot about broken hearts. How is it that Cassie makes him feel so differently than others? Cassie is a young woman who is intelligent and works hard. When she meets and talks to Harry, she starts to feel a connection to him. She has a fiancé. When situations occur will she find out the Evan, her fiancé, is a player? Harry wants to put aside his reputation and convince Cassie that she should take a chance with him. What does the future hold for Cassie and Harry? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I grew to care what happened to Cassie and Harry and hoped that they would find happiness. Can heartaches from the past be left behind? Is love at first sight possible? Don’t miss out on an amazing romance story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

I enjoyed this hot romance story. This author continues to impress me with her attention to details that make her stories pop and her imagination to create great stories. This book ranks right up there as one of my favorites by her. This story is no different. It is a well written story that kept me engaged to the end. The plot pulled me in right from the first page. This is a story about love at first site and taking a chance. Cassie and Harry meet one night at a bar. Harry is the bartender that listens to Cassie and her troubles. There are a few problems. Cassie is engaged to a man who doesn’t deserve her. Harry is known as a player but is he willing to stop his ways for Cassie? Is he good enough for her? Will she take a chance on him? This is a great romance story that has a lot going on yet not so much that it becomes confusing. These are great characters that I had no problem connecting with and they really did make the story for me. I highly recommend reading this book and this author.

This was such a cute story full of love drama to the brim! I would love to go to a beach weekend with my closest girlfriends, especially after this book!
The characters are so well written I felt like I could call Cassie up and say, “listen girl, get it together!” And Harry, the bartender!

There were scenes in this book that had me thinking about booking a trip, downtown dancing to live music, art galleries, and the few other places that were mentioned had me longing to plan a trip to this place. That along with the girls hanging out on the beach with strangers, sleeping in, day drinking, all the things that happen on a weekend out of town I suppose.

Feeling a connection and finding out some horrible things while you are away is never a good thing and having to make some hard choices when you have to get back to reality, is tough. Mya did a great job with this story, it was full of drama, love, friendship, and some tips to help with self care! Now I want to read the other 2 books!!

Help Me, Harry
By Mya O’Malley
5 stars

I love this author so much, I love that whatever she writes is just wonderful to read. She plans her characters so well and makes them so connectable to the reader. Her writing is so easy to read, I just know when I pick up one of her books I am going to enjoy it and I definitely enjoyed Help Me, Harry. As soon as I started reading about Cassie and Harry I fell in love, they were both genuine characters that I couldn’t help but care about and want the best for them. The first meeting between the two of them I could feel the connection that they had, it did seem really honest and genuine. I thought that they would be perfect for each other. I could tell Harry desperately wanted to shake his player past to convince and show Cassie that he could be the man for her!
A wonderful romance read that I thoroughly enjoyed! As always I look forward to more from this talented author!

I have yet to find a Mya O’Malley novel that I didn’t enjoy, and Help Me, Harry is no exception to the rule. I thought this was a nice and spicy departure though from the others that I have read by her previously. This sucker had me reaching for the fan as I read at times and I loved every second of this story. I found myself way way too late into the night finishing it and feeling a bit saddened to be done with the story. I can only hope to get my hands on more of Mya’s romances soon!

Help Me, Harry is such a fun read. We meet Cassie and of course Harry. Cassie is sinking her sorrows and sharing a bit of them with the sexy bartender Harry. These two have some pretty obvious sparks right away but both of them have pasts that will promise to get in the way. Will they be able to work through them and find a much deserved happily ever after in each other’s arms? I can’t say enough good about their story!

Help Me Harry (Collection: Sun, Sand & A Ring On My Hand Book 2) by Mya O'Malley was a great 5 star read.

Cassie isn’t really excited about going to Key West with her friends for a bachelorette party but she goes at the encouragement of her fiance.

Harry moved to Key West to start over after a bad marriage. Harry is a bartender at the tiki bar where the bachelorette group ends up for drinks. Harry has gotten pretty good at reading people and he can tell there is something different about Cassie. He is drawn to Cassie, there is a connection there between them.

When Cassie starts to question her feelings about Harry things get interesting. Can Harry convince her to give him a chance?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. I really liked all of the characters, Cassie and Harry were made for each other. If you're looking for a great read this will be the series for you. Each book can be read as a stand alone. 1-click and get started today.

Help Me Harry is the second book in the Sun, Sand, And A Ring On My Hand collection by Mya O’Malley. This book is a romantic novella that had me hooked from the start. The author makes the characters so relatable. You may think this is just your typical girl on vacation and hot bartender story, but there is so much more than that. Cassie isn’t sure her fiance is “the” one for her, and as she spills her guts to the sexy bartender on the first night of her girlfriend's tropical bachelorette party, the bartender realizes the same thing. Harry knows the player ways of Cassie’s fiance because he is that kind of guy, or is he? Maybe Harry could change for Cassie. This story is about Harry trying to convince Cassie, and in some ways himself, to take a chance on him because she deserves so much better than Evan. This was such a heartwarming book to read that I look forward to reading others in the collection.

Help Me, Harry by Mya O’Malley

5 Stars

I really enjoyed this story. I love this author anyway and knew I had to read this. It was super quick and the flow was easy. Watching these two dance around each other was fun, and although the ending was somewhat predictable it was exactly what it needed to be.

I wasn't completely crazy about going back in time the few times it did but it did not take away from the complete enjoyment of what was going on in the Keys. I'll admit I wanted to slap Cassie more than once, but I could also feel the turmoil that was messing with her head.

Harry was a dream, I loved him from the first pretzel and he was my favorite character in this story.

I highly recommend anything by this author, this was a great story, fun to read, fun to imagine being right there with this whole group.

Awesome!!

Help Me Harry by Mya O’Malley is the second book in the Collection: Sun, Sand and A Ring On My Hand series. This is a nice quick, fun read that will have you engaging with the characters the whole way through. The book is entertaining with a great storyline. I liked that the characters weren’t perfect. The way the author has written makes them feel more real.
This is not the first book that I have read by this author but it does reinforce the view even more that she is definitely someone I want to read more of. I enjoyed this book from start to finish and would definitely recommend it.

Help Me Harry by Mya O'Malley is one of those romance books that buries its self into your heart. Its one of those crazy roller coaster rides of emotions. Miss O'Malley has a way of writing characters that are completely relatable and you cannot help but fall in love with them from the start. I loved reading about Cassie and Harry and their hesitations towards relationships due to past hurt and how they overcame personal obstacles to reach their HEA. I love Miss O'Malley's writing and I cannot wait for more!

This book definitely pulls at your heartstrings. You want the best for Cassie when she’s putting her heart on the table for Harry. You can’t help but fall in love with Harry as he pulls out all of the stops to capture Cassie and get her away from Evan who means her no good. You can’t help but stay hooked from the first chapter to the end to see which direction she chooses to go down with either guy. I love that it’s a realistic love story to quickly read. Surprisingly sweet and enjoyable book.

I loved this book! I felt like I flew through this book and didn't want it to end so that's a sign of a good story.
I really felt like I was in this story as a friend watching all of this happen and unfold and I will be reading the rest of this series. The characters are relatable, and actually felt human and not a story character who makes a living selling pencils living in a mansion lol. This series are all standalones but still will be reading them all.

Great story. Loved the story from two points of view. I enjoyed the explanation of how manifesting and gratitude can help you. I have been using this recently and has truly helped me. That struck as strong feeling with me and it is a great law of attraction book. It is a happy ever after book with a intriguing story line that I couldn’t put down. Loved the characters and the deep understanding of emotions. So relaxed story.

This book resonated loudly with me starting from the first page. I loved the characters and found them extremely realistic and flawed and wonderful. The storyline had a good steady pace. I enjoyed the banter and sarcastic quips. I love these types of stories where love seems wrong but finds a way to shine through in the end. Another winner from O’Malley.

Help Me, Harry is a great quick read romance by Mya O’Malley. I had read some of this author’s work before, having read the Maggie Trilogy and was already a fan. I really enjoyed Help Me, Harry and devoured it in a couple of hours.
Cassie and Harry’s story is a very enjoyable read. I loved both characters. I loved how Cassie is quite introverted and can be a bit of a loner, very much like myself. It was great to read a leading character like this.
Harry is also an adorable character. He’s very sweet and an all-round very lovely guy. He senses immediately that Cassie is not happy with her life, in particular her fiancé, and tries to be a shoulder for her to lean on.
I also enjoyed reading Cassie and Harry’s adventures as they spent time together, visiting different locations and exploring the area.
This may be a short read but the author manages to fit quite a lot of content into the story and it’s a story that keeps the reader engaged and wanting to keep reading to see what happens next.

I liked this story. It is shorter and sweet with a few bumps in the road. The story flowed nicely. Although the ending seemed a bit abrupt. The characters are lively and easily drew me in. Each of these two have a little issue. One a fiancée the other can’t seem to forget and forgive his past. I felt the story has a bit of cheating element. So that made me not care for Jules. She seemed to think it’s okay for her to act a certain way (and her married friends) but not Cassie. Bachelor/ette parties are difficult because they are “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” deals.

Overall it’s a good story that kept my Interest. I did read it fairly quickly. I did enjoy Harry and his ideals and thoughts. It’s nice to see him (a bartender at a resort) as a person, not just a guy who flirts with a new girl every day/week.
