Taylor Tate has one last chance to turn things around. As the owner of Charm City Events, she needs her upcoming week of Valentine's Day events to go off without a hitch. She's painstakingly planned every detail down to the last red heart decoration, but what Taylor doesn't plan on is the less than enthusiastic bar manager she's paired with stumbling into her life at the worst possible time, making things more difficult every step of the way.
Carson Smith is getting by fine. She loves her job as the bar manager at Second Chances, a dive bar staple of the Baltimore landscape, and she doesn't need anything or anyone disrupting the delicate balance she's created. Especially for a stupid Valentine's gimmick to take advantage of desperate singles. When the owner of the bar forces her to work with an event planning company to drum up business, she has no choice but to begrudgingly agree. It's either play along or see the bar close, and she can't let that happen.
It's only a week, but time passes differently when there's love in the air and too much on the line, and both women soon find their lives, and hearts, intertwined as they work together to make the week a success.
Contains mature themes.

I only wish she would narrate longer romances.
As for Charm City it is a very Charming “little romance” built on the concept that a frozen heart can be thawed by the right person.
While this is not the classic “A Christmas Carol”, it is worthy of 5 Valentines Cards”.
If you have just broken up with someone, this is the perfect audio-card to listen to, to get you back on the romance horse to happiness.
Charmingly Done 🥰

Carson Smith is the bar manager at second chances in Baltimore. A small dive bar that has not been showing the numbers needed to stay open. The owner of the bar designs this last shot plan to see if they can drum up the business they need. Charm city events owned by local event planner Taylor Tate is going to help them host a whole week of events leading up to Valentine’s Day. The catch? The owner expects Carson, our grumpy tattooed babe behind the bar to smile and play nice with Ms. Blonde and bubbly designer stilettos.
This book was so much fun from the moment they met, through the events and all the way to the epilogue. The events that Taylor designs are so unique and meant to be so low pressure that even Carson might not hate them. Which is wild because the only things she doesn’t hate are this bar, her favorite diner and Blake, her gay BFF and bartender extraordinaire.
If you love making craft cocktails then you will love Monica’s attention to detail with all of the drink recipes scattered around the book. They also have some hilarious names that are used in such creative ways. Also, there is this one scene, well let’s just say I have never wanted to be a cherry so badly.
The tension between these two is palpable, as if you were watching these events play out in real time. Also, I wanted to strangle Carson because there is this event that is kind of a turning point. You as the reader will want to scream at her to take her head out of her ass.
I just wanted to hug Taylor. Her story was equal parts heart breaking and empowering for me. I loved her attitude throughout this whole book. Though I’m definitely more like Carson I saw parts of myself as an entrepreneur in Taylor.
The audiobook is narrated by Lori Prince and she did such a great job with these characters, especially Carson’s annoyed attitude and Taylor’s light musical voice. So enjoyable! It’s included in audibles plus catalog if you want to check it out!
My fave Monica McCallan book to date!
