Happy Hour by Piper Rayne: Review

I have been following and reviewing the books in this Charity Case series over the last several months and I have been eagerly awaiting the story about Hannah and Roarke. After catching a little glimpses of him in the other stories, I just knew that man had something good going on. Silver Fox anyone? Mm-mm

Now available, here is the third book in the second chance series and a delicious read to check out!

ABOUT:
The perfect man for her is the one she hates most. #gofigure

Dating is hard.
Dating in your thirties is even harder.
Dating in Chicago is harder still.

I haven’t given up on finding my happily-ever-after, but in the age of swiping right and Netflix and chill, I’m wondering if everything is as temporary as my marriage turned out to be.

Truth is, there is one guy I can’t get my mind off of.

Roarke Baldwin has salt and pepper hair I’ve dreamed of running my hands through and I’m pretty sure that if I checked he really does have a six pack of abs underneath his suit. And I’ve always wondered what that stubble on his face would feel like between my thighs.

The problem? He’s the one man I hate more than my ex-husband…

His divorce attorney.

Happy Hour by Piper Rayne Review

I love how the authors kept leading us on about this man over the past couple of books. So when it came time for Hannah to get her own story, I was greatly anticipating it.

There’s definite fire between these two. Every time they saw each other sparks flew…. with contempt and even a touch of hate on Hannah’s side. Then Roarke turned to a bit of blackmail in order to get Hannah to converse with him and get to know him. The little smart on his part to work the contract.

Oh, there is fire there alright. Hannah really does have the hots for him and sweet Roarke is wearing his heart on his sleeve!! I love that he will do anything to get her to give him a chance.

However, I thought Hannah capitulated a little too fast. She got soft and smushy and gave in really quickly. And when she did that, the energy just wasn’t the same in the story.

Don’t get me wrong, I love these two together. But I never got that spark flying, breath holding, Oh My God feeling during the hot and sexy scenes. They seemed to go really rather quickly and we didn’t get that in-depth connection that I felt in the other two books.

However, I still thoroughly enjoyed the story and the authors did a great job crafting amazing characters all around that truly fit and worked well together. I just missed the extra heat and fire! But the ending…. so sweet and fitting!

Piper Rayne brings us another crazy yet fun story that is both entertaining and deliciously spicy. Definitely one to grab for your summer fun!
