The first draft of Jojo and Lana’s story is complete! Y’all, this sweet, sexy story has so many tear-jerker moments I needed a whole box of tissues for the first draft, and I’ll need another for the polishing phase. This is my favorite of the Bangers Tavern series so far, and I bet you’ll love this slow-burn, friends to lovers, workplace romance set in our favorite Tacoma bar. What’s not to love about a hunky, gentle-giant bouncer who’s done with quietly pining for his lady love. When he finally works up the courage to go for what he wants, the results are incendiary!  Of course, there’ll be lots of tasty cocktails and bar food too–wait till you try new chef Maci’s hot wings.

Book Cover Sweet Slow Sizzle: Bangers Tavern Romance 4

Bangers Tavern’s hunky bouncer Jojo Williams has been flirting with server Lana Lopez for three years, but she dismisses him as a trifling joker. Determined to penetrate her prickly defenses, he plunges into the hot mess that keeps her from dating. If he screws this up, his heart and hers won’t be the only ones broken.

Orphaned by a car wreck at twenty-two, Lana must keep her teen brothers on track and together in the home they grew up in. One more slip-up, and her interfering tías will separate the boys. The last thing Lana needs is a big goof like Jojo meddling with her fragile family.

But when the teens’ shenanigans land them in trouble, Jojo may be the only person who can save them from the wrath of the tías. Lana’s growing attraction to the gentle giant makes it harder and harder to shut him out, but loving him is a gamble that could cost her everything.

Come back to Bangers Tavern for a slow burn, sizzling hot, friends to lovers workplace romance full of laughs, steam, and the glorious chaos of 21st century family—the ones we’re born into, and the ones we gather to our hearts.

Funny story: I was sure this would be the final story in the Bangers Tavern series, but bouncer Spike raised his tattooed hand, and chef Maci crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow… I sense a plus-size hero romance coming sometime next year.
