“A heartfelt opposites-attract romance...” —Publishers WeeklyTotal opposites. Totally irresistible.Mickey Chambers is an expert at analyzing modern literature. But when it comes to figuring out her own story, she’s feeling a little lost. At thirty-three, she’s an adjunct instructor with a meager summer class schedule and too many medical bills, courtesy of her chronic illness. Picking up a bartending gig seems perfect. Sure, Mickey’s never done this before, but the gorgeous, grumpy bar owner, Diego Acosta, might be the perfect man to teach the teacher…if he wasn’t so stressed.Diego is worried he’s running his late wife’s bar into the ground. Add the pressures of returning to college part-time at forty-two, and it’s no wonder he’s making rash decisions. Like hiring the sunny, sexy woman who looks more at home in a library than slinging beers to rowdy barflies, and who turns out to be teaching his online writing course, a complication neither was expecting…It’s not long before Mickey starts reenergizing The Saloon with cocktails, karaoke and an optimism even Diego can’t ignore. They need to fight their feelings if they want to keep things professional, but all it takes is one sip, one kiss, to shake both their worlds forever…

"I really liked Mickey Chambers Shakes It Up. There was great chemistry between the two characters and I think all the side characters were well developed and represented. <br/><br/>Mickey was a bold heroine who seemed confident in the decisions she made. When she committed to a plan of action she carried through and I appreciated that about her. I especially liked that she truly took space from Diego. Sometimes in romance books, the FMCS don’t stick to their decisions and it can get frustrated. I also liked that Mickey was dealing with other issues outside of her relationship with Diego such as a chronic health issue and finding passion in her work. <br/><br/>Diego was a sexy grump and was the perfect balance to Mickey’s bubbly personality. The age gap was fun to read because it was appropriate for both their ages. Diego has salt-and-pepper hair, wears glasses occasionally, and is returning to college. What could be hotter? Probably nothing! <br/><br/>I’m excited to read more from this author!<br/><br/>Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review."
