I love my job. Bartending is more than just serving drinks to customers at the hottest bar and restaurant in Stewart Grove. It’s the people I work with and those I meet along the way. I know how to have a good time. Just one flirty little grin and the ladies are like putty in my hands. But they know the score: I’m a one and done guy, not looking to ever fall into the trap of love.
Then, a sweet, gorgeous coworker needs help, and I find myself offering up more than I should.
With Cameron Wright temporarily living with me, pretending to be my girlfriend, the lines begin to blur fast. She’s in my space and I suddenly have free rein to hold and kiss her.
Helping her might very well be my downfall.
Cameron
I keep to myself. Despite working as a server at the popular gourmet burger joint, I make sure my eyes are always ahead, focused on the prize: make enough tips to pay off my debts. When you carry around this much guilt every day, the weight slowly starts to drag you down, but I’m determined. My past will not define me.
Until one day, that past returns and is ready to rekindle our old relationship.
Cocky playboy Kellen McGregor steps up, not only offering a place to stay, but also a way to put space between me and my ex. Problem is, in no time, I find I like being with him.
I just need to remember he’s not the forever kind of guy.
Don’t you just love the Burgers and Brew Crüe…. Lacey Black keeps hitting it out the park with this series.
We’ve met Kellen and Cameron earlier in the series and I liked them both.
Cameron had had trouble before thanks to her drug stealing boyfriend. Being in her own with not a lot of family support she lives her life quietly and keeps out of any kind of trouble. She’s become friends with Garrett and Reagan who look out for her. Things have been going well for her when her ex all of a sudden reappears in town and seems to be everywhere she turns.
Kellen is a player. He’s a really good person, cares about those he considers friends and family but dienst see himself getting seriously involved with anyone given his upbringing. He knows something happened with Cameron but doesn’t know the full story and doesn’t speculate as others do.
Things take an unexpected turn for the worse and Cameron needs somewhere to stay for a little while. Kellen is more than happy to help her out as he can accommodate and so things with them start to develop.
I liked how easy these two were with each other. Kellen made Cameron feel safe and she made his house feel less empty and lonely. Watching their relationship grow from colleagues to friends to more was great.
As ever we had the Crüe gang and their other halves, they really showed what being part of the bars ‘family’ meant. These folk are there when needed and are loyal to a fault!!!
I’m looking forward to the next book in the series and hope it’s the couple I’m thinking it might be.

My favourite genre is PNR - yep, more than happy to admit that I’m a bit of a #parawhores...... but small town is a very close second!!! In saying that, I’ll read and review a real mix of genres - from the better known authors to new-to-me authors and everything in between.
I hope you enjoy the posts and that they might lead you to some ‘new to you’ authors.
Thanks for stopping by.
