My life is a hot mess.

Single, working, and raising two daughters, it’s a miracle I get us up, dressed, and fed every morning. Forget about dating—nobody’s got time for that. Even if love hadn’t left me jaded, I’m not settling for anything less than perfect this time around.

Lucky for me, the perfect man just happens to work in my office. But there’s just one small problem: he’s my boss, and is totally off limits. But hey, if it’s meant to be, it’ll find a way, right?

Then a night out with friends turns into a night in with the walking-talking bad boy cliche of a bartender. It’s just one night. No harm, no foul, right?

Except when the hot bartender turns out to be my boss’s trouble-making brother, who wants more than just one night with me. The more I resist the spark between us, the more I find myself wanting him too. Which puts me in the middle of what could be the biggest sibling rivalry of the century.

Life is messy.

And love?

Well, love is even messier.

Review by: Tracy

When you happen to be a single mom raising a daughter life can get pretty repetitive. Wake up, work, help with homework, dinner, bed. Wash, rinse, repeat. So what happens when the only men you meet are at work? Well you definitely don’t mix business with pleasure, especially when the hottest man in the office just happens to be your boss. Like Lexi, most of us will try and find love elsewhere. And if not love then at least some fun. Us moms are allowed to have some fun too aren’t we? That’s exactly what Lexi does, with the hot as sin bartender Luke. Now life can get pretty tricky sometimes. Love is never easy. It definitely will require work and hurdles to get through. Only Lexi didn’t expect any hurdles to be Luke wanting more than one night, Luke being her boss’s brother or the jealousy her boss Cole showed once he found out.

This was a no brainer for me. When I read the blurb I knew I had to read it, and I am glad I did. I couldn’t put it down. I kept reading needing to know what was going to happen next. I needed to see what single moms like myself could possibly get themselves into. I only wish I could find a Luke…hell even a Cole would be great. This lucky bi*ch Lexi had both pining for her. Bravo girl, BRA-VO!
