My life is a hot mess.

Single, working, and raising two daughters, it’s a miracle I get us up, dressed, and fed every morning. Forget about dating—nobody’s got time for that. Even if love hadn’t left me jaded, I’m not settling for anything less than perfect this time around.

Lucky for me, the perfect man just happens to work in my office. But there’s just one small problem: he’s my boss, and is totally off limits. But hey, if it’s meant to be, it’ll find a way, right?

Then a night out with friends turns into a night in with the walking-talking bad boy cliche of a bartender. It’s just one night. No harm, no foul, right?

Except when the hot bartender turns out to be my boss’s trouble-making brother, who wants more than just one night with me. The more I resist the spark between us, the more I find myself wanting him too. Which puts me in the middle of what could be the biggest sibling rivalry of the century.

Life is messy.

And love?

Well, love is even messier.

Spoiler Free 

Life can hand you many challenges and in Emily Goodwin's Hot Mess, Lexi has been given  a doozy. How else could you describe the problem she finds herself having...

Her life is full with raising two daughters on her own and working full time... she has no need for romantic complications. She already has come to the conclusion she deserves a love that is real and true.... in her mind she has her candidate...her boss.

Now Lexi knows that is not the best situation but she has told herself... if it is meant to happen... then it will...

Luke has been re-evaluating his own life. Things have not been working out where he was living... and he has decided to move back to New York. It could be a good move...he will have a decent place to live... only problem, it comes with a brother who thinks he can't do anything right.

Lexi and Luke cross paths during a moment when Lexi has decided to cut loose, go to a bar with friends and have herself a little fun...and the bartender is her prime candidate...

Naturally Luke is the chosen man and boy, these two have a stronger connection then a one night stand...In fact, Luke is thinking this is something worth pursuing...and Lexi thinks maybe she should see what may develop...

The only hiccup in their possible happiness...Luke's brother...It turns out he is Lexi's fantasy perfect man...and Boss!

This had all the makings of a captivating read and leads us down the rabbit hole of wanting to know exactly how all of this plays out...Cliffy Alert.
Good news; the next book will be out soon so you won't be waiting for too long.
