I didn’t know what I was doing in a bar at midnight.
On a weeknight.
Certainly not sleeping, even though I had to work the next day. Definitely not open to talking with anyone, or trying to pick up a date.
Surely . . . not paying the least bit of attention to the beautiful bartender with gorgeous hazel eyes and a body built for sin. He’d flash a smile and the women around him melted. He’d chuckle and even I wasn’t immune to the silken way it slid down my spine. And I was singular. I didn’t pay attention to men (and yes, I said that as a filthy, four-letter word).
I existed by myself. For myself.
It was safer that way.
Then . . . he talked to me. Then . . . he flashed that smile my way.
Then he made me want a stranger more than I wanted my careful distance.
Oh. Hell.

MY REVIEW
Archer's smitten with the gorgeous woman sitting by herself at his bar. Somehow he manages to convince her to spend a night with him and has his mind blown. Then she sneaks out and she thinks that's one and done. She didn't count on his persistence. Or his absolute sweet determination. She definitely didn't count on giving her heart to the beautiful bartender.
Archer hasn't had it easy either, and he recognizes that same quality in Dominique. So he knows wooing her won't be easy. But he just knows she's worth it. He wants more than a night and he's determined to get it. He'll go gently but surely, because he is coming for her heart, not just her body.
I've been loving this series, this whole cast of people who made themselves into their own family, and Dominique and Archer just made me fall more in love with the whole series. There's something so sweet about both of them. Perhaps it's their individual vulnerabilities or insecurities but who have strength they perhaps don't even realize they possess. Of course the heat is there, as always, and the heart, but the heart is even more extra this time around.
