There\u2019s nothing better than a packed house on a Saturday night, and co-owning the hottest restaurant and bar in town with my best friends, isn\u2019t so bad either. We put everything into Burgers and Brew. My job is to keep the alcohol moving and the patrons coming back for more. I won\u2019t let anyone break my focus.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That was until I saw her.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As much as I try, I can\u2019t fight it. Mallory makes me crave a future I never wanted for my own.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now, I want it all.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
When I started my new job at a local specialty burger restaurant, I wasn\u2019t expecting to find a tall, dark, and devastatingly handsome distraction in the form of Walker Meyer. He\u2019s one of the owners, which means hands off. Only problem, it\u2019s a lot easier said than done.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Especially when he\u2019s so good with my daughter.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I try to keep him at a distance, but he\u2019s insistent, slowly breaking down every one of my walls. He\u2019s fighting to convince me I can trust him with not only my heart, but my daughter\u2019s too.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I pray he\u2019s right.<\/div>\n

Review by Twinsie Angie<\/div>\n

\u00a0I purchased this audio book.<\/p>\n

I want to start by saying OMG did I love the audio,\u00a0 Both voices did a great job with each of the characters they voiced but they both did a great job with Lizzie and her baby speech.<\/p>\n

Walker was the single guy loving his life.\u00a0 He was a ladies man but he lived by a strict code\u2026Don\u2019t shit where you eat IE Don\u2019t date where you work. He is quite happy to pick up a depressed woman at the grocery store in front of the ice cream aisle grabbing rocky road to heal her heart.\u00a0 Walker is not about to do monogamy and then\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n

Mal is starting all over. She and her daughter need a fresh start as far away from their home town.\u00a0 She needs to prove to herself she can take care of her daughter.\u00a0 She makes a great friend in the complex to watch her daughter when she lands a much needed Monday through Friday day shift job at a burger restaurant.<\/p>\n

The heat between Walker and Mal is pretty intense right away.\u00a0 Seeing Walker get jealous when he sees Mal talking to his business partners was hysterical.\u00a0 Hut staking his claim over her with the other workers was also a great read. Mal is pretty oblivious to his eyes because she doesn\u2019t think a guy like walker would be interested but also once he finds out about Lizzie he would be gone.<\/p>\n

Walker and the guys, for real I loved them all, step up to the plate for Mallory.\u00a0 They all understood and respected what she was doing for her daughter.\u00a0 They all knew where she was coming from and pulled her into their little homemade family.<\/p>\n

I think my favorite was when Lizzie was sick and went to see Walker vs mommy over the yuks.\u00a0 I also loved when Lizzie told walker she loved him\u2026sigh\u2026she is the cutest.<\/p>\n

Of course there is drama with jealous snatched who don\u2019t respect Walkers \u201ctaken\u201d vibes and of course there is baby daddy drama but I was loving this story.\u00a0 I am so excited over the series.\u00a0 Lacey needs to get the other audio books done ASAP!!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Chapter One<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Walker<\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At exactly eleven o\u2019clock, I slip a quarter into the old jukebox on the back wall. The bar is silent as they await tonight\u2019s selection. My bar, my choice, and tonight, I\u2019m feeling a little rowdy. The opening melody of \u201cDr. Feelgood\u201d blasts through the speakers, resulting in a loud cheer from tonight\u2019s patrons. As I make my way back behind the bar, I get a few high fives from the guys and even more phone numbers slipped into my palm from the ladies. I wish I could confirm they\u2019re all single, but the truth is they\u2019re not.<\/div>\n
Just a typical Saturday night at Burgers and Brew, the place I co-own with my three best friends. We all have our forte within the business, and mine\u2019s behind the bar. Mixing drinks and slinging beers. That\u2019s my life, and damn, what a life it is.<\/div>\n
I slap Jasper on the back as I slide under the bar and jump right back in to filling drink orders. Everyone\u2019s singing along, word for word to the ol\u2019 80\u2019s hair band tune, as part of our weekend ritual. It\u2019s an ode, a salute to our college days and the band we all grew up listening to. We built this business, taking an old brick building in downtown Stewart Grove and turning it into a staple.<\/div>\n
Jasper\u2019s the man in the kitchen, the one who comes up with the mouthwatering burger creations we\u2019re known for. Isaac is the numbers guy, the man who keeps us in the black and our taxes completed on time. Jameson\u2019s the muscle because he\u2019s big and tattooed. But he\u2019s more than that. Jameson is talented as fuck with a guitar and serves as our house musician Friday and Saturday nights. Then there\u2019s me. Walker Meyer, bartender extraordinaire, who keeps the beer flowing, the panties melting, and the tips rolling in.<\/div>\n
We\u2019re the Brew Cr\u00fce, and damn proud of it.<\/div>\n
\u201cDance, dance, dance, dance,\u201d the crowd starts to chant, encouraging me to do what I do every weekend when we play M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce.<\/div>\n
Dance.<\/div>\n
When I glance over at Jasper, he\u2019s already shaking his head, but there\u2019s no missing his wide grin. He knows what\u2019s coming. Placing my hands on the bar top, I jump, hoisting myself up on the aged oak. Patrons erupt into cheers as I grin down at them. Mostly, at the ladies. The single ones and even the not-so-single ones. No, I\u2019m not taking any of them home, but that doesn\u2019t mean I can\u2019t give them one hell of a show.<\/div>\n
I twist my ballcap around so it\u2019s on backward and start to swing my hips. Mama blessed me with moves, which helps almost double my tips every night. Women go crazy for a man who can dance. That\u2019s evident by the number of panties that\u2019ll be thrown behind the bar in a matter of moments.<\/div>\n
Swaying my hips, I do a little dip and grind, popping my ass out and sending the ladies in the front row into cardiac arrest. They scream and reach for my pant legs, digging their nails into the denim. Instead of shaking them off, I wink and carefully walk a few steps away. Then, when we get to the refrain in the song, I throw my arms out to the side and belt out the words, everyone singing along with me.<\/div>\n
It\u2019s like karaoke.<\/div>\n
But better.<\/div>\n
As the song winds down, I steal the drink in Jasper\u2019s hand and hold it up over my head. Everyone in the bar does the same. We sing. I dance and drink. The panties start flying.<\/div>\n
