Synopsis

I’m his boss. He’s my daughter’s ex-boyfriend. This has nope written all over it.
For twenty-five years, I’ve been in an exclusive, all-consuming relationship with Stone’s Throw Tavern, my family’s local bar.
I don’t need a boyfriend. What I need is a new bartender.
And what I get is Charlie, my daughter’s old college boyfriend, a guy who still acts like he’s chillin’ at the frat house. He was canned from his Wall Street job and escaped to small town Sourwood for a fresh start.
He knows bupkis about bartending, but he makes up for it with his cocky charm…and the tight shirts he wears, which secretly drive me wild. Now I’m making up excuses to hang by the bar during his shifts.
There’s a pile of reasons why I can’t cross the line with an employee. Especially this one. He’s twenty years younger than me, and I’m a foot taller than him. Even on a purely mathematical level, this can’t work.
And yet…
The growing heat between the fratboy and me burns like a shot of whiskey. I just need to keep my beer can in my pants, or else I could lose my business and my daughter.
The Barkeep and the Bro will serve you up a glass of age gap, size difference, boss/employee, grumpy/sunshine, small town romance goodness, garnished with humor and lots of heat. And it won’t even ask for ID. This is the third book in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone.

4 Loved it stars!! ❤️❤️ This was a really sweet, grumpy-sunshine; age-gap romance. Both Mitch and Charlie were well etched out MCs and I loved their interactions. The plot is low angst and super duper steamy 🔥🔥 Also loved all the supporting characters; especially all of Mitch’s dad friends. I’m tempt......more

Goodreads review by martina (chaos version) on June 12, 2022

frat boys with golden retriever energy are one of my favorite things. and damn this one did not disappoint. i enjoyed it so much, it didn’t want it to end. "We might as well make hay while the sun shines.” "What does that mean?" "It means I'm still horny." this is the kind of literature i’ve signed up......more

Goodreads review by Gustaf on June 05, 2022

I'm going to have to be honest here, this is probably my least favorite in the series and it saddens me because I had high hopes. I love the whole forbidden love trope. And dating your daughters ex boyfriend is definitely forbidden. I did however, have a really hard time with the first 50% or so of......more
