Blurb
In this sequel to Wallbanger, the second book in the Cocktail series, fan favorites Caroline and Simon negotiate the rollercoaster of their new relationship while house-sitting in San Francisco.
Playing house was never so much fun—or so confusing. With her boss on her honeymoon, Caroline’s working crazy long hours to keep the interior design company running—especially since she’s also the lead designer for the renovation of a gorgeous old hotel on Sausalito. So with her hotshot photographer boyfriend gallivanting all over the world for his job, she and Simon are heavy-duty into “absence makes the heart grow fonder” mode. Neither has any complaints about the great reunion sex, though! Then Simon decides he’s tired of so much travelling, and he’s suddenly home more. A lot more. And wanting Caroline home more, too. Though their friends’ romantic lives provide plenty of welcome distraction, eventually Caroline and Simon have to sort their relationship out. Neither wants “out of sight, out of mind,” but can they create their own happy mid-ground cliché?

Have I mentioned that I absolutely
freaking love this author? Well...it's true. This is the second book
of The Cocktail Series and it was just as good as the first.
Rusty Nailed had plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, the
characters had the same sass as they did in Wallbanger, and Clive,
Caroline's awesome feline companion had a sort of bigger role to play
which was great.
This book picks up where Wallbanger
left off. Simon and Caroline continuing on with their growing
relationship, everything is going great, until Caroline's boss gets
hitched and takes off on an extended honeymoon; leaving her in
charge, and basically no time left to have a life. Meanwhile,
something sort of triggers Simon to start taking some time off work,
so with him not traveling the globe, he's stuck at a Caroline-less
house which sort of turns into a Caroline-less relationship because
she's starting to date her work more than Simon!
Needless to say their perfect
relationship begins to dwindle leading them down a dark black hole
problems. Ahhhhh while I was reading this, I was getting so worked up
and frustrated at everything that was going wrong for them, haha.
But, I will say that they do get their HEA, and I was VERY satisfied
with how Caroline and Simon's story ended. Not to mention, I want
their new digs!!! The sex is hot, the humor was great, and it made
you feel all the feels a book could wrench out of ya! 5 big stars
from me!
ALICE CLAYTON worked in the cosmetics industry for over a decade before picking up a pen (read laptop). Now, about that Bernese Mountain dog
