My new job at the bistro is fun. The owners are good guys, and the staff is made up primarily of boisterous water polo players. I know nothing about the sport except there’s a Speedo involved, and Liam likes to wear his everywhere. Yes...Liam - the chatty, handsome, utterly charming waiter I can’t seem to stop thinking about. Ugh. Note to self - do not fall for another younger man.

What can I say? I’m a man of many tastes. I know what I like, and I’m not afraid to go for it. And I like the adorable geek from the bar. He’s smart and sassy, and he doesn’t seem to know or care that I’m in a hot up-and-coming band. However, I just found out he’s the new intern at Scratch Records. Uh-oh, this could get tricky.

A night on the town after a long workweek at my family's distillery should include shots and dancing - not a hot kiss with a handsome stranger. I'm straight. At least, that's what I figured until I find myself locking lips with a sexy city boy. Now, all my circuits are going haywire, and the spark that ignites between us makes me even more curious. Unfortunately, I kissed the one man who's off-limits: Cohen Mitchell - the sole surviving heir to the Mitchell Creek distillery, a rival neighbor my family has feuded with for nearly a 100 years.

Short and sweet
This little tale gives us another look into Zane and Eric’s lives and relationship. It also introduces one of Zane’s ex, who’s a jerk. It was fun to spend some time with these fellas. This book would better off listened to after you listen to Leaning into Love first. The narrator does a great job.

Loved the writing
Any additional comments?
I hadn’t read Book #1 where Eric and Zane first got together and, although this book is a continuation of this story, the fact that I hadn’t read it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of this delightful novella. The characters and their situation are set up nicely from the start and draw the listener in immediately.
Seth Clayton is the perfect narrator for this story. Told entirely from Eric’s POV his voice seems an ideal match for the character’s personality. It’s gentle and empathetic, with the right amount of emotion and emphasis. He creates an interesting range of voices for the other characters.
Eric and Zane are an established couple, opposites in character yet totally in love and preparing for their wedding in a couple of months time. Everything is sweetness and light. That is, until Zane’s ex makes an appearance and Eric is justifiably jealous when Zane spends time with him sailing and sorting out a boat for a client. There’s a nice balance between the sweet and the sizzling scenes and also a few fraught ones as they deal with Eric’s response to the interloper. Dean is doing his best to regain Zane’s affections and plays on Eric’s insecurity. I loved the writing, the angst, and the way the main characters interacted. So much so, I bought the first story in the series so I could find out how they got together in the first place.
