What is a Pickleback you ask? Well in my latest Cocktails for You book, it’s both a place and a cocktail. The cocktail consists of a shot of Jameson whiskey or Jack Daniel’s followed by a shot of dill pickle juice or even the pickle itself. Now, you know.
How far will Andie go to pursue her dreams?
Determined to marry only for love, Andie leaves the family’s cattle, horse, and oil empire to remake herself as a bartender at an LA Comedy Club. LJ, the new owner’s go-to man, a man with secrets, can resist temptation, but not the enticing bartender. When the truth comes out, will their love be strong enough to keep them together?
Andressa Myers is determined to live life on her own terms. Being an heiress to a multibillion dollar fortune is one thing, but having to marry one of the men her father considers the best bulls for his littlest heifer is another. She wants to be loved for herself, not Daddy’s billions. After suffering through a disastrous twenty-fifth birthday party where she meets four out of the five men her father has selected for her, she’s more determined than ever to find a husband on her own. Convincing her father to let her travel for a year is no small feat, but with her half-sisters help and a good old-fashioned hissy fit, she manages it.
But Andie has no desire to travel. She wants to experience real life, and LA seems to be the perfect place to do it. All she needs is a job. After a few cosmetic alterations to her appearance, and a slight change to her name, Andie Harper gets hired as a bartender at an LA Comedy Club. With time running out and her search for Mr. Right seeming to have fizzled, she has to make a choice: go home and give up on love or beg Daddy to give her more time.
Things go from bad to worse when she learns the club’s been sold to Rayburn Enterprises. The fifth suitor who failed to attend her party is none other than Cole Rayburn, the company’s new CEO, a man every bit as elusive as the legendary Howard Hughes.
Fearing discovery, Andie’s concerns fade away when she recognizes the bar’s new manager. L J Simons, the man who worked as a waiter at her birthday party, is kind, considerate, movie-star gorgeous, but doesn’t recognize her. Sleeping with the boss is never a good idea, but she soon finds herself head over heels in love. Their relationship sizzles, and she’s certain that this is the man she’ll marry until, on the night of the club’s grand reopening, a woman with a mouth the size of Texas recognizes her.
Will discovering her true identity destroy her relationship with LJ? But not all the secrets are revealed, and when that happens, will Andie stay or run away?
Check out this 5 star review.
I loved this story by Susanne Matthews, where we follow the journey of Andressa, a Texas cattle heiress, who wants to find love on her own terms, not her daddy’s money. After she gets the complete makeover she has always dreamed of, she decides to change her identity in search of true love – and she has one year to do it. She becomes Andie, a bartender and occasional comedian, and starts exploring new relationships, which end in hilarious disasters. However, the man meant for her is none other than a glimpse of her recent past. Amidst secrets and fake identities, will they manage to find real, genuine love? And will their love survive the web of lies it was built on?
Find out in this beautiful, funny, heartwarming romance!
