Next up is a book that allows me to take a little creative license in my #TBT to Bartenders territory. Unfixable’s Shane Claymore is Formula One driver turned Innkeeper in Dublin, Ireland. The Inn has a bar, and he tends it sometimes, so I’m granting him sexy bartender status. Take that leap with me, you’ll enjoy the landing.
Shane is not happy, in fact, he’s incredibly grumpy and not at all ready to deal with the likes of American Willa Peet with all of her sarcasm and sass. Willa is in Dublin licking her wounds after a nasty break-up, and Shane is back home trying to sell the family’s Inn so he can get back to his one true love, the only thing that has never let him down, racing. Oil and water turns to piss and vinegar and quickly leads to explosive chemistry that can not be denied. Lordy be, lordy be I can still hear Shane’s heavy brogue calling our heroine Willa Girl in my dreams. I love it when the surly heroes fight the attraction but are ultimately brought to their knees by the love of a smart ass woman. I feel that in my core, maybe because my bartender was surly yet wildly charismatic, and perhaps I’ve carried the mantel of sarcasm a day or two in my life. Unfixable is 260 pages of prime Tessa Bailey dirty talk with an Irish accent, and I am here for it.
On this day of International Bartender Appreciation, I think we should all go out, pick up a conversation with your server, practice your cherry stem tying, and make sure you tip well. Oh, and read some sexy books, they will warm your soul like a bespoke festive cocktail, heavy on the smooth whiskey.
