Collin<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a fan of change. So, when I hear the old bar I work at a couple of nights a week has sold, I wonder if it\u2019s time for me to give up that side gig. It\u2019s not like I need the cash. My job as a full-time firefighter is more than enough to keep me comfortable and plenty busy.<\/p>\n

Then I meet the new owner, my new boss, Lizzie Meyer.<\/p>\n

She makes me a deal: give her thirty days. If I don\u2019t like the direction she takes the place, I can quit. Simple, right? But nothing feels simple once I\u2019m around her. I try to ignore the pull, but her easy smile, hypnotic green eyes, and that stubborn streak wrapped in determination makes it impossible. The line between professional and personal is clear\u2026until it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Just when something real starts to take shape between us, my past stirs\u2014ready to drag its way back into the light and threaten everything we\u2019re beginning to build together.<\/p>\n

Lizzie<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent years dreaming of a place to call my own. Growing up inside the biggest bar and restaurant in my hometown, I learned early on what my calling was. But lately, I\u2019ve wanted something more. Something that isn\u2019t tied to my family\u2019s legacy. I want to build my own.<\/p>\n

That dream leads me to Cooper Town, Ohio, a quaint small town with an old bar for sale and enough possibility to make me pack up my life and take a chance.<\/p>\n

I know it will take hard work to bring the place back to life, and I\u2019ve got the drive, the grit, and a modest savings account to get started. What I\u2019m not prepared for is Collin Miller, the brooding bartender with a rare, disarming smile and a work ethic that mirrors my own. He\u2019s impossible to ignore, even harder to resist. I try to keep things strictly professional, really, I do, but being around him feels like standing too close to a flame.<\/p>\n

My simple request is that he doesn\u2019t break my heart along the way.<\/p>\n

Review by Polly B<\/p>\n

I was so excited to finally get my hands on this book! Lizzie Walker has finally grown up and is ready to grab a hold of her dream and not let it go! The dream? Owning her own bar \u2013 without any hint of recognition that her family owns the famous Burgers & Brew!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Collin, who happens to be a part-time bartender at the bar she is buying, is not all that happy about having a new owner take over. He likes the status quo and really does not want any changes to be made. Well, a few days later and with a simple request to give her 30 days to before he makes any decisions about staying or leaving\u2026 Lizzie needs to bring on her A game!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After working so closely together they both realize that there is \u201csomething\u201d about each other and boy is their chemistry a good one! Let us just say that opening a \u201cnew\u201d bar brings lots of ups and downs \u2013 but some of those are found between the sheets!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Loved this story and the characters – especially that the Burgers & Brew Crue are sprinkled throughout the storyline! Highly recommend this book!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
