But what kept her attention wasn't that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen, but he spoke to the man and shook his hand.The line has been non-stop since she arrived at work and when the next customer steps up her breath catches. It is the man from the streets and he is more breathtaking up close. She runs to the window to watch him walk down the street and watches as he takes a sip of his coffee, shakes his head then throws the cup in the nearest trash bin.When he shows again the next day she knows he's not there for the coffee.I loved this story! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This book is a standalone novel but the characters are recurring and you won't be sorry to meet the other Misters.April is on full scholarship for her law degree but is determined to find somewhere besides college housing. When she receives the email that her request for an interview at the exclusive Club Exotic has been accepted she is excited to have the extra income working at the club. She is shocked when she is offered a more exclusive position and despite her misgivings she can't pass it up when she hears how much she will get paid.Sebastian Garcia. Wow! I loved Julian and Spencer, but Sebastian is in a world of his own. This book is full of angst and will take you on an emotional ride. This book is smoking hot so prepare yourself. This author has definitely made my one-click list. Her characters are full of strong women and the alphaholes we hate that we love. Highly recommend!

4 1/2 starsMr Garcia is quality writing as we’ve come to expect from this author, however, this alpha male might challenge you as he is a very different character!April, for me, is the star of this story but I think that was intentional on the author’s behalf and a very clever ploy-name the book after the male lead character while the female lead character’s role becomes incredibly vital. April is no fluffy, airhead; she is strong, determined, intelligent and loving. She also has a wicked sense of humour, her banter is fun although can be a touch sarcastic when warranted. To me, April is, at times, just like a modern day superwoman! I absolutely loved her and thought she was the perfect partner for Sebastian.Ah… Sebastian Garcia! He is an arrogant, domineering, moody douche, quite often actually. However, he is also a caring, supportive, determined, intelligent man too who is an excellent friend and who loves his family deeply. The huge issue or problem with Seb—well that’s a part of the overall story, so I won’t be revealing any more to ruin it for anyone. He is extremely passionate and as April calls him (in a fond manner) “A sex manic” but what she means is they both enjoy a very healthy physical relationship. The sparks do more than fly when they are together, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had the local fire department on speed dial!There is so much that happens in this story that there really isn’t a dull moment. This book has it all:-romance and passion to suit everyone, great characters, fantastic humour, intriguing problems/issues and of course interesting solutions as well as a touch of suspense. Every emotion possible is packed into this book and quite often I found myself laughing out loud or gripping my kindle in anticipation or anger. I even found myself talking to the characters occasionally, hmmm-another sign of how much the story sucks you in and become a participant. The main reason for the extra half a star too.Special mention must go to a character who stole my heart and that’s Jeremy who is absolutely gorgeous! I defy anybody who reads this story not to love this beautiful character. It was also great catching up with Julian, Spencer and their wives, Brielle and Charlotte.

April and Sebastian had so much to deal with and overcome before they had their happily ever after. I liked that April had a life before Sebastian and became a lawyer. Eventually opening her own law firm even while Sebastian was Prime Minister. This book is not for the faint of heart. It made me realize how vanilla I am. The intrigue and drama throughout made this a fantastic read! April and Sebastian both had their demons from the past to deal with. April was strong, intelligent and very patient with Sebastian. Sebastian was such a bad boy but knew how to love April.Although Spenser was my favorite man in this TL Swan trilogy with his hotness and great sense of humor, I liked all 3 books. I enjoyed the crossover of the characters in each. Loved Julian’s, Spencer’s and Sebastian’s long term friendship and subsequent friendships among Brielle, Charlotte and April. Thirteen children between them must have made for some good times.

I loved reading this story and listening to the audible. The audible narration is perfect and is going to be a favorite to re-listen too often. The barista meets a guy who throws the coffee away because it’s horrible, yet he keeps coming back for more and continues to come again. Things happen and they meet at her new job and things click. Love is born. I love how things progressed as they worked their way to an HEA. Lots of drama. An ex wife crazy, betrayal of close business associates and a traumatic scare. Highly recommend. So glad I discovered this author. Now on too the next story in this series. HEA, no cheating by anyone important, and no cliffhanger. It ends well.

Sebastian and April's tale is one heck of a read! So many twists and turns, I wasn't sure if this was my first non-HEA.😱 Thankfully all is well and I'm ready for my next amazing T L Swan story.
