Point of view: Single, First person

Type of series: Standalone part of a series
In a nutshell: I have three rules for dating:
1. Always be my best self
2. Don’t put out too soon
3. Stay the hell away from anyone like my ex-husband - including liars, cheaters, guys with more looks than substance, and (especially important) bartenders
Everyone says you “just know” when you meet the one, but the only thing I know is New York men are the worst. So when Myles, the cocky, tattooed bartender at my brother’s bar starts hitting on me, it’s a hard pass, thanks. I won’t make that mistake again. Besides, I have enough going on with my ex trying to run my vintage clothing store out of business. So what if I’d rather be selling my own designs? I have bills to pay. But it turns out Myles is good at more than just looking sexy while pouring drinks. He knows how to save my business, and that’s an offer I can’t refuse. Everything else he’s offering? Not interested - not in the slightest. Not even if he could be the best mistake I ever make.
What I thought: I love Jen Morris’ style of writing, her stories are rich in description, featuring characters you easily become invested in and full of laughs. Be prepared for the sweetest, damn sexy, friends to lovers story when going into this. It does feature some heavier themes such as parental abandonment, attempted sexual assault, infidelity, and divorce but it is done so with sensitivity. This is a story of new beginnings, patience, support and love. A sexy romance that will leave you with all the feelgoods!
