Publisher's summary

Will saving her bar cost him his heart...and his life?

After being run over, shot, and stabbed one too many times, Ace Montgomery left law enforcement for private security. When he’s hired as a bouncer in NYC, he’s ready to kiss Kentucky goodbye and leave his painful past behind. How rough can a bar called The Hole in a yuppie Brooklyn neighborhood be anyway?

Sailor Kingston, the bar’s rich, gorgeous owner, is an exhausted wreck when he arrives. All Ace has to do is train her useless bouncers, drive out the troublemakers, and make the place safe for high-class patrons. But it isn’t that simple. Something darker is at work that could cost both of them their lives. Ace is drawn to Sailor, but she's his boss - will his heart be the first casualty?

Sailor thought owning and managing her own business would free her from her late parents’ shadow. She thought wrong. The Hole will become her grave if she can’t survive the bitter legacy they have left her. The former cop from Kentucky is the last hope of her business - but the hunk with the scary past soon means more to her than that.

Sailor has never trusted anyone but herself before. Can she put her trust in Ace?

If you loved Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse, then you'll love Ace as the kick-ass, battle-scarred lead bouncer who's just what Sailor's bar (and Sailor) needs. Listen to this fourth and final book of this hot new series from award-winning author Mysti Parker and co-author MJ Post! Each book is a stand-alone read with no cliffhangers. HEA guaranteed!

I want some Ace!

I immediately fell for Ace, the main male character, and he kept me through the whole book! The only annoying part was all the hashtags throughout the book.

Audra Cook did a good job with narration; she has the voice for different parts.

Great Read

Ace in the Hole (City Meets Country #4) by Mysti Parker and M.J. Post was a great read. Ace Montgomery left his job in law enforcement and now does private security. Sailor has hired Ace as a bouncer in her bar. The Hole has a reputation of being a place that draws troublemakers. I loved reading Ace and Sailor's story. I can't wait to read more by Mysti Parker and M.J. Post.

Great Chemistry

All the books I've read in this series have one thing in common, great characters and great chemistry between the lead female and lead male characters.

Sailor is probably my least favorite lead female in this series, I found her reactions a bit over the top at times, but I have seem people react more extremely in less extreme situations so it's not over dramatized, it's just not within my normal.

The narration is well done again, the delivery is smooth and flowing and the character voices are clear and distinct.

In this book sparks fly between ACE and Sailor, I loved the way that they interact. The tension between them builds naturally over the course of the book and I didn't want to stop listening.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Gotta like Ace!

For the most part, this was a good book. Nice story, good characters and good narration too. My biggest problem with this book was all the "hashtag" this and "hashtag" that. It didn't fit in with the story and I found it to be annoying and distracting. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

Kentucky can stay!

This series is a lot of fun to listen to, but I did find this story to have a little more meat to it. After the death of her parents and sorting out their estate, Sailor takes her money and is trying to make her bar a success. With constant security issues, she takes the advice of her friend and brings in an outside consultant, Ace. Ace is a former police officer, good at his job but has some of his own issues. Ace is a protective man, and is instantly attracted to his new boss and Sailor is finding it hard to resist him. But with the danger lurking, business has to come first! I really enjoyed the melding of these two. Their passion was high, and the caring way Sailor responds to Ace's scars and situation is one with compassion. I also loved the way this was solution to Sailor's problem was not cut and dry. It took some research and unexpected help to get her the answers necessary to have things accomplished. Mysti Parker and MJ Post write their novellas with complexity and well developed characters and it makes the listen very satisfying.

Audra Cook is amazing as always. I really enjoy her narrations. She is well paced and gives the necessary inflections in this listen of passion, fear, frustration and love perfectly.

my favorite of the series

I really loved these characters! Out of all the books I have read in the series, I enjoyed this story the most. the characters were well developed and so was the story. there's not too much more I can say without giving away spoilers lol. I highly recommend this book.

hot security guy & sexy bar owner...combustible!

Ace Montgomery quit his job as a LEO after one too many injuries on the job. Now Ace owns his security company and has accepted a job to analyze and secure a NYC bar that seems to have run into a rash of recent problems. Sailor has inherited the bar from her no-good, sleazy business man father upon his death and is burning through her money trying to run the place. Recently they have had a series of incidents that seem to be staged...bar fights, etc...that may be geared to running Sailor out of business. In rides Ace to the rescue...literally...on his bike. As Ace begins his investigation, he fights the growing attraction to Sailor and vice versa. Will they be able to work together to uncover who is behind trying to put Sailor out of business while fighting the chemistry between them? This was a quick read/listen with some steamy moments but lots of 'bad guy' action as well. Love the series!

Let this book surprise you

It always amazes me how you can receive a personal insight or life lesson from just about anywhere - if you’re paying attention. And yes, I got one of those insights from this book. Total surprise, but welcome.
Having said that, I generally don’t advertise my personal business to the world, so I get annoyed with hash tag comments and superficiality. Those were the parts that didn’t do it for me.
The book description in Audible is detailed enough for you to decide if you’re interested in it, but I’m happy to recommend this book for a young, modern, urban woman time out.
Cook did a good job with narration. She’s got a good young adult woman voice, but not cutesy.
