About this listen
April Markham might be jet-lagged beyond belief, but at least the bartender at her hotel is easy on the eyes. After years of throwing herself into work to combat the pain of a failed relationship, a bit of innocent flirtation is exactly what she needs to get her groove back.
Nick is the full package—charming, handsome, age appropriate, single. Plus, he makes a fantastic gin gimlet. One night of conversation turns into two, and his company quickly becomes as irresistible as the cocktails he crafts. Although April never intended to mix business with pleasure while traveling for work, things are destined to move from the bar to the bedroom.
But as the red-hot flame of attraction burns bright, reality threatens to douse their heat. She’s a businesswoman from New York; he’s a bartender in Seattle. And as her flight home looms, April must decide whether to risk her heart on a cross-country affair or announce “last call” on what could be the romance of a lifetime.

The interactions between April and Nick are endearingly awkward and honest, and their characters are well crafted so you feel their loneliness, despite being constantly surrounded by people. I found April’s perpetual horny-ness to be pretty funny, but it does not come off as disingenuous or forced, just her lot in life when presented with the deliciously competent and rugged yet refined, Nick.
Claire Marlowe did a fantastic job bringing April and Nick to life. Her vocal timbre is perfect to personify both characters, and her range added significant depth to their conversations and interactions.
I enjoyed this audiobook more than anticipated; it’s a cute story with well developed characters, that is well written and narrated. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quick and steamy, but real and honest escape!

Brianna's novellas are such a fun little bite of romance, with a dash of delicious spice. I like that the attraction is instantaneous and they waste little time getting to the fun parts of romance stories - the swooning and the spicy bits. That said, there are always snippets of emotional moments and tension as well.
Claire is a new narrator to me, but I think she does a fantastic job solo narrating this novella. She does very well with both April and Nick's characters, and her masculine voice is great. The narration moves the story along beautifully and kept me engaged as the listener.
Such a fun little bite of spicy romance!

With April always working, trying to put the past behind her, she rarely has an opportunity for more than an acquaintance. But a fun flirtation at a business convention with Nick is just the thing. Nick has an easy-going personality that encourages April to give them both a chance even though more than just careers seem to separate them.
The Businesswoman and the Bartender is the first in the Dash of Desire set. It’s a fantastic read with a heartfelt HEA!
