Tess has no interest in being Sean’s latest conquest. Not only has she heard the rumors, but she’s focused on making the jump from bartender to sportswriter. In exchange for an interview, she’s willing to give him the same in-depth advice she always gives brokenhearted guys across the bar. But date him? No way.
Sean claims he doesn’t want to date. Just hang out. Although for some reason, his definition of hanging out includes kissing. It’s fun, but Tess knows she needs to stay strong. Not just for her own sake, but maybe for the kicker’s, too.
MY REVIEW:
Tess Colby is a breath of fresh air to
everyone she meets. She’s no slacker
either. This lady went to the University
of Hawaii where she majored in Philosophy yet she doesn’t see it as any big
deal. Now she is not only considered one
of the best bartenders around just ask anyone at the sports bar where she’s
worked for the last three years. Her
personality helped it grow from a modest little bar to a thriving hot spot
where the local guy-and celebrities can rub elbows together and hang out.
While working there she turned her
journalism skills into some good use by writing bartending books. As she says they are meant mostly for other
bartenders very tongue-in-cheek. She
says she got lucky some big bartending schools have included them on their
reading lists.
She’s mow going to soon be moving on to
hopefully be writing as a sports journalist.
She just needed a meaty enough story that got a good amount of people
reading it. Then she could write full
time. So when she mentioned her idea of
sports celebrities and product endorsements this is what the angle would be…
“Does the celebrity who endorses actually
use that product?” Once her editor heard
it he contacted his friend a sports agent for help. Mr. Murphy put her in contact with Johnny
Spurling, Mr. Quarterback himself and his wife actually new bride Erica
McCall. The Holy Grail or
interviews. Score! He is also the rep for Alexi Romanov who she
will interview in a few weeks.
During the first interview which is with
Erica who she hits it off with, she gets another lead and possible connection
to Sean Decker, the team’s kicker and both Johnny and Erica’s best friend. While she is there Tess helps Erica out with
a catch phrase for an ad in turn Erica gives her a second idea for a future
article to write about. The ladies are
getting along so well Erica invites Tess over for dinner to meet and interview
not only her but Johnny and Sean. At
first Tess’s hairs on the back of her neck go up because Erica seems to be over
selling Sean. But Erica reassures her
that Sean is dating to someone already.
So Tess accepts.
Once Tess leaves and Erica has collected
her messages she sits and plots how to not get tripped up on her plan on Friday
night. For a fact she is trying to get
Sean to notice Tess. To yes for sure to
break up with his fiancée. Not that she
doesn’t like her because she does, just not for Sean. Too much drama. She is sucking the life out of him. If he figures out the fix up he will dig in
his hills with his intended and then there would be no turning back.
I really enjoyed this book a lot. I totally enjoyed this author’s flair for
writing. She has a way of totally
investing you into each one of the character’s lives. Tess is any guy’s total dream. Totally into watching sports, going to
sporting events, and is a bartender.
Yet, so much more. She’s a free
spirit, with a family of overachievers. Who she chooses not to be. She’s not looking for a guy just falls into
friends due to her humor and her outwardly personality.
You will find yourself wanting to know
more about the other characters. This
was not the first book I’ve read from this author and it won’t be the
last. I give this 5++++ stars. Provided by netgalley.com. Follow us at: www.1rad-readerreviews.com.
