As the owner of Prime, an infamous Manhattan bar that had
been in his family for over 80 years, Gabriel Cormac Silas
O'Sullivan, was usually quite content with his life and had
the job he always dreamed of. He enjoyed the banter with
the regulars, the talents of his loyal bar tending staff,
particularly Tessa Hart with her phenomenal skills in
quickly mixing drinks, especially the tropical bar drinks
from her Florida life and the steadfastness of his brother
Daniel. All he lacked was control over his womanizing
younger brother, Sean, and a permanent woman in his life.
While he cared about a lot of people, he had a special
place in his heart for Tessa. When he found out she had to
find new digs in less than five days, he quickly offered
her his spare room. While he told her, it would be totally
platonic, his brothers and staff differed on that and they
instantly set up a pool on how fast they would be in bed
together.
For her part, Tessa enjoyed Gabe and often let her eyes
linger a second too long on his muscular and trim
backside. She valued him as a boss and a friend more than
any other man in the world. But, the dream that held her
together since she moved from Florida four years earlier
was to be the sole occupant of a special apartment in the
most perfect building for her in all of New York. With her
goal of independence, could she really move in with Gabe?
She knew her decision was sure to leave her shaken and
stirred, but would it be the right mix for her?
As the lead story in a trilogy on the O'Sullivan brothers,
Kathleen O'Reilly has delivered a hot and steamy winner!
As Tessa fluctuates between dependence, independence, and
intradependence, she soon realizes that building on her
strengths, such as her encyclopedic memory of drinks and
Manhattan real estate, and her values will do more for her
than following a standard path. For his part, Gabe is the
perfect kind of guy you want to linger in your fantasies
as you fall asleep at night. "Shaken, not Stirred" is one
hot, hot Blaze novel that will go down so smooth, you will
thirst and beg for the next two in the series! Enjoy!
As a student and part-time bartender in Manhattan, Tessa
Hart has found that a succession of roomies and cramped
apartments are necessary evils in her life. Until she's out
on the street and Gabe O'Sullivan, her mentor, boss and
certified babe-magnet, steps in.
Any other woman would die to share his apartment—not to
mention his bed—but Tessa's determined that they should
stay just friends. The fiercely independent mixologist has
to prove to their skeptical coworkers at Prime—the
O'Sullivans' hot Manhattan bar—that the arrangement is
strictly hands-off! But Tessa has trouble adhering to her
own "no touching" rule when the actual sharing of close
quarters day and night leaves her shaken and stirred….
