Synopsis

In this sexy, emotionally satisfying LGBTQIA+ romance, a grumpy sommelier and a flirty mixologist just might be the perfect pairing…

Rivalry never tasted so good.

O’ little town of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania—it may be charming, but Julien Boire can’t wait to get out of there. Soon he’ll be leaving to take an advanced wine course that will put him on track to become a master sommelier. Meantime, his OCD demands he keep clear of distractions, especially the hot new hire at his aunt and uncle’s restaurant, Martin’s Place.

Which should be easy, because Greg Harlow is as ill-suited to Julien as a bold cabernet is to a delicate salmon entrée. Charismatic and confident, Greg is a TikTok mixologist who could charm a paper bag—even one as tightly wound as Julien. One thing they do have in common: neither wants a relationship.

Greg’s history with dating is…complicated. Yet working together isn’t. First, they’re teaming up to launch a series of happy hour events at Martin’s Place. Then they’re agreeing to a no-strings sex pact that involves new worlds of experimentation. Nothing is off-limits. Except a future.

It’s exactly how Julien wants it. Except for the little part of him that wonders if maybe he’s about to lose the kind of happy that could last much longer than an hour…

Thoroughly enjoyed this new release, You Had Me at Happy Hour, from a new author, Timothy Janovsky, to me. I enjoy cocktails. I enjoy wine.

Goodreads review by Marieke on February 29, 2024

I have a love-hate relationship with Timothy Janovski’s writing. I liked Never Been Kissed, but I found You’re a Mean One, Matthew Prince meh. I adored New Adult, but DNF The Fake Hating Game. After DNFing that last one, I started to wonder if Timothy wasn’t writing too much—quantity over quality in......more

4 stars. Steamy, compulsively readable, and surprisingly thoughtful in the subjects that it handles, You Had Me at Happy Hour is a delightful cocktail of a romance.......more

Goodreads review by Allen on July 07, 2024

An aspiring sommelier working at his aunt and uncle’s restaurant bumps heads with the new hire mixologist/bartender. In dual POV, this was a very cute, sex positive, grumpy sunshine love story that also tackled heavier topics like alcoholism and mental health. I loved how mature both of these main c......more
