While this fun, fast paced, light and easy read... it lacked the depth and sparkle I would have liked to see.
Don't get me wrong, I was rooting for Emerson and Alex throughout the book and enjoyed their chemistry. I felt a little underwhelmed at the conflict and lack of angst.
This first book in the series did whet my appetite for the future books with all the guys from Rascals bar.

Great start to the series. Alex and Emerson met in the strangest way but oh so funny. They had a lot in common one being that they were extremely ambitious when it came to their careers.
The chemistry between these two were off the charts!! There was a bump in the road that was a bit harsh that I didn’t think it was going to be resolved. They came from different backgrounds and it sort of interfered. But they both had great friends that opened up their eyes.
Good read and can’t wait for book 2.

I really enjoyed this read. It made me smile. It was fun and makes for a light easy read for the most part. I liked the characters. I thought they were real and they had great chemistry. I would have liked to have seen a little more in the ending, but otherwise, the story flowed well and kept me reading. I am excited about this series and I am definitely ready to read the next one.

Alex is finally getting somewhere in her life, after working hard she is awaiting the results from her bar exams and working a summer associate position at a top law firm in Chicago. Work is busy and full-on but she knows she needs to keep her head down and free of distractions – especially men!
A last-minute trip to the store to grab essentials leads to her locked in an ATM vestibule with a handsome stranger she spotted in the store. Emerson is that handsome stranger and after chatting and playing games to pass the time they share a kiss before heading their separate ways. However, when she is woken up by building noise from the bottom floor of her building, she discovers not only is it co-owned by Emerson but that it is going to be a bar.
With her firm being traditional, they have made it clear that she should be bringing a partner to the next work function. Step in Emerson to be the arm-candy that she needs, however, it is clear that he is already known in these circles as part of Chicago’s well-to-do families – not that he wishes to be part of all that.
Despite attempting to keep things at arm's length, they find each other very much in each other's arms. Although will Alex’s job and Emerson’s family cause issues?
