The Businesswoman and the Bartender


Title: The Businesswoman and the Bartender
Author: Brianna Bancroft
Publisher: Self-Published
Order: Amazon

Rating: 4 *s

Description: April Markham might be jet-lagged beyond belief, but at least the bartender at her hotel is easy on the eyes. After years of throwing herself into work to combat the pain of a failed relationship, a bit of innocent flirtation is exactly what she needs to get her groove back.

Nick is the full package—charming, handsome, age appropriate, single. Plus, he makes a fantastic gin gimlet. One night of conversation turns into two, and his company quickly becomes as irresistible as the cocktails he crafts. Although April never intended to mix business with pleasure while traveling for work, things are destined to move from the bar to the bedroom.

But as the red-hot flame of attraction burns bright, reality threatens to douse their heat. She’s a businesswoman from New York; he’s a bartender in Seattle. And as her flight home looms, April must decide whether to risk her heart on a cross-country affair or announce “last call” on what could be the romance of a lifetime.


My Review: April is away at a work conference in Seattle and stops in for a drink at the hotel bar. What she doesn't expect is Nick and the yummy gin gimlet he makes. She finds herself fantasizing about a short, steamy affair with him. Can she let her guard down to have a little fun?


Bancroft does an excellent job at giving us character development, suspense, and very steamy moments! This is a fast paced, short read. The beginning of this story is a little of a slow burn but after reading the entire story, the build up is half the fun!


Brianna Bancroft has gained a new fan and I cannot wait to dig into more of her work!
