A haunted beauty inspires a Navy SEAL turned playboy bar owner to change his ways in this tender and sensual novel from the bestselling author of Hot Shot and the Heller Brothers series.

Waitressing at a tequila bar on the beach in sunny San Diego may not be what Reece Kirkwell wants to do forever, but for now it’s perfect—other than the flashbacks to the tragedy she caused in Boston. And the fact that one of her bosses is a domineering, first-class manwhore who’s as stubborn as he is sexy. If he’d just listen to her, she could double his business. But it would also mean getting close to someone, and that’s a risk she can’t afford.

Cade Hardy’s partners at Conquistadors are like his brothers, but he’s the money man trying to keep them all afloat. To blow off steam, he’s been sleeping around a little. The last thing he needs is business advice from their crazy-hot new waitress. Cade can’t figure Reece out. She’s smarter than she lets on, and she doesn’t hide her disgust for his active sex life. But after he recognizes her PTSD symptoms, Cade is determined to save her . . . unless she saves him first.

I read Long Shot stand alone and really enjoyed it.

Cade Hardy and his partners own Conquistadors, a tequila bar in sunny San Diego. Reece Kirkwell is a waitress at his bar. On the surface Cade is a manwhore with a trail of women coming in and out of his bed and sometimes in and out of the bar.

Witnessing Cade and Reece slowly connect as they first battle and then connect on a deeper level kept me glued to my kindle. These two battle over work, over Reece’s going beyond her job description, over Reece calling out issues she sees at the bar. You know there is something deeper here… how it is revealed and what it is was amazing and not anything I would have ever guessed.

Cade and Reece’s relationship slowing evolved, the respect they gain for each other and the deepening connection touched my heart.

Reece and Cade are both so much more than what they appear on the surface. The backstory that helps paint who both are as the reader meets them was so powerful!

Reece’s backstory was WOW and explained so much of why she is where she in her life, why she is hiding. It was a truly great twist.

The reason why Cade is a manwhore and how these two connect during sex set their relationship apart and was masterful. I love when an author weaves emotions into sex and Ms. Jamieson nailed that – no pun intended.
