This was so cute! With romance novellas, I often have to suspend certain expectations and be okay with things feeling rushed and writing that's a little awkward. But I did not need any of that for this story (save for the amount they used each others names). This did such a good job setting up the background of this slow burn relationship that it felt perfect. I am also in love with how *gay* this was. I mean, it's butch4butch and set in a gay bar with a Brandi Carlisle song as the title, but there were details of how they interacted and were as people that were just so... butch, so dykey, I'm just completely obsessed. 

I could say so much more, like about how it's cool to read about older characters (especially older, thriving gay characters), or how present the setting is. There is just so much I love about this. It looks like I stared with book 3 (I'm assuming that won't affect much since they're all about different characters), so I am stoked to read the other two (and everything else Anita Kelly has out)
