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.

My Review of Hot Mess:

New author for me, and I can say with a certainty I will be reading more of her work. I enjoyed this book wholeheartedly. Lexi is such a hot mess of a single mom, this story, well the characters remind me so much of my husband and I.
Luke is kind and compassionate, he used to be a fireman although a lot of his background is shrouded in mystery. Lexi is a divorced mom of 2 little girls, just trying to through life one day at a time. When Lexi takes a chance on a handsome bartender, it turns into more than she bargined for. 
This does end in a cliffhanger, however as much as I don't like cliffhangers this author isn't making the reader wait a year before the next book. Just a month. This book is highly recommended by me. Its told in the first person alternating view.
