Banging the Bartender

by Mimi Kinley

Mara

It figures. I finally agree to go on a blind date, only to get stood up at the last minute by an actuary named Kevin. Kevin.

And to make matters worse, he doesn’t bother to tell me until I’m already sitting at the bar.

I would leave, but I didn’t squeeze my curves into this killer dress and put make-up on for nothing. I deserve to have some fun after working all day as a head chef.

And the sexy bearded ginger bartender who can’t take his eyes off my tits? He looks like a great place to start.


Sam

I’ve served thousands of women since I took over this bar and none of them had my dick as hard as the curvy goddess who keeps teasing me with her perfect tits.

I don’t make a habit of fucking my clientele, but there’s something about this woman that has ‘mine’ written all over her and I’m going to spend the whole night figuring out how to make it true.

Sam and Mara are the best couple. Two people who work hard with plans for the future find each other and don’t let go! Characters you root for. Wtty. Fun. Sexy. Hot! And a HEA you’ll love. I adored this book! (ps: I’ve already read it twice.)

Mimi Kinley's novelettes are always so hot!
A bar owner meets a chef who is ditched by her blind date, and their chemistry is immediate. I've never thought of a storage room at a bar would be a great location for a make-out sesh (or more); I will never be able to look at storage rooms the same way again.

I recommend this book if you are looking for a quick and super-steamy read.

An advance copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

If anyone tells me that they never imagined themselves in a story like this is lying! This was a HOT read. I love Mimi's novelettes...they are straight to the point and are have scenes that just light the fire.

Ummmm beards and bartenders - heck yes.

Steamy story that starts as a hookup and ends with an HEA. I am here for it!

Sexy, sweet novella!

A satisfyingly sweet, sexy novella with super hot scenes. If you love erotic, insta-love romance, you'll love Mara and Sam's story.

Another hot & spicy quick bite of a novella from Miss Mimi!! I am so behind on these but these are just like the perfect shot of adrenaline for a romance junkie like me! If you like your romance with a bit (okay a lot) of erotica, you can't go wrong with Mimi Kinley!

When a girl walks into a bad and gets stood up on a blind date, but ends up going home with the bartender and falling in love. Sweet chance meeting love story.

This was so so good! For a shorter read it still had an emotional connection and a sweet HEA. Loved it!
