With a new master's degree in hand, a sassy bartender navigates the perils of her family's bar business as she tries to escape her dysfunctional life. ***** Growing up under a neon bar sign with minimal parental supervision imbued JUNE CASHMERE with plenty of moxie. Raised by a narcissistic mother and a drug-dealing dad who stole her car and went on the lam, June has worked her way through college as a bartender in her parents' bar. She has a weakness for one-night-stands and a gift for reading a customer's taste before their butt hits the barstool, a fine skill by anyone's measure. Just days before snagging her master's degree and her ticket to freedom, June meets CABE FRANKLIN, a hazel-eyed hottie with humor and a surprisingly level head. He's in town long enough to make a business deal, and he doesn't leave until June is properly intrigued. But June's future plans go south when her mom decides to bail on the bar biz, dropping a load of legal problems in June's lap. Cabe, who happens to be in the real estate biz, helps June find her missing father so she can sell the bar, which happens to sit on a prime piece of beach property. Is their hook-up destiny? Or is it a cheap shot? The Bartender's Guide To The Galaxy follows the sexploits of an independent woman as she navigates everything the universe throws at her, including egos the size of Jupiter.

First love is hard enough. It's new and exciting and absolutely terrifying and maybe even unrequited. When it's difficult for Skyler to move on from her silly little crush, she just has to take a leap of faith... at least that's what she was advised. All that's easy to say, but how hard is it to actually confess your feelings, spell it out and put your heart on the line? Meet Skyler and experience this struggle with her. *************** "What's the worst a confession could lead to?" Skylar thought when she decided to approach her long time crush, everything that followed was absolutely unexpected and totally hilarious... Only, maybe it's not so funny for Skyler. Ayden Smith is a lone wolf, or so she thought. He didn't exactly go out of his way to make friends and was a little too self-sufficient for his own good. Is it even possible he might return her feelings, seems unlikely... but when their paths intertwine, and things get out of hand, what could happen over the course of a summer...? Other than a tonne of embarrassing things that is... **************** If you are in the mood for a sweet heartwarming summer romance with not too much drama, this is the one for you. Note: This story could lead to a lot of second-hand embarrassment, uncontrollable smiling and loud obnoxious laughter. Proceed with caution⚠ *************** Thank you blackwidow999 for the book cover.
