Shaken or Stirred

A Swizzle Stick Romance, 1

By: Georgia Beers

Narrated by: AJ Ferraro

The only girl in a house of boys, Julia Martini worked extra hard to get noticed. That has made her business-minded and driven, and she’s determined to turn her family’s struggling bar around. Simple. All she has to do is remodel, re-staff, and rebrand the place, work insane hours and ignore the sexy blonde who comes in to...she’s flirting, right?

’Cause Julia’s rusty and has zero time for dating, even if their chemistry is off-the-charts steamy. Savannah McNally’s needs always come last. A caretaker by trade, she also takes care of her widowed dad, her brother, her sister, and everybody else on the planet, it seems. When her dad finally starts dating, Savannah can focus on her own life for once - her career, her house, maybe even that super-hot bartender at Martini’s who has her thinking naughty thoughts. When family feuds are exposed and a popular blog trashes the bar, the weight of business decisions, family loyalty, and life in general may outweigh their attraction that could lead to more.

She's Done It Again

Georgia is outstanding at creating solid characters with dept that you want to know and what to be friends with. A standout for her newest work!

Cute story but the romance escalated too fast in the beginning.

It was a cute story and I’m a BIG fan of the depth behind the supporting characters but the romance escalated a bit too quickly in the beginning. The whole story was instantly predictable in the first chapter. Also, I know this is my own personal opinion but I’m not a fan of how the narrator made Julia seem super nonchalant and too-cool-for-school the whole time. There was no sweetness in her tone when she was intimate w Savannah. The rest of the character voices and tones were great. Regardless, I’m always and forever thankful that Georgia Beers keeps putting out great books for the lesbian community.

URG!!

whenever I read reviews and people comment about how terrible the narrarator is I usually take it with a grain of salt. when I seen the bad narrarator reviews for this book I didn't think much of it, but oh my!! This has to be the worst one I've ever listened to. The story and characters were great but because of the terrible narration I really did struggle with this one. I really want to listen to the next 2 books in the series but I don't think I can handle going through this for 2 more books...bummer!!

Awesome Romcom!

Loved the characters and the family relationships. Yes, very true to a large Italian family!

Fun Read

This book is park of a three part series that will have you wanting to join the Bar Back if the Martini’s in no time!
