  • Condition: NEW
  • Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.

  • Liberal vegan meets corporate carnivore. What could possibly go wrong? Thomas Stone has one sacred rule: Don't Date The Boss. Ever. So when he finds out his new employer is the man he took to bed his first night in town, he's less than happy. He doesn't need any more complications in his life, and the way Phil makes him feel definitely qualifies as a complication. Especially since he can't seem to keep his hands off the man. Philip Sorrells is thrilled to discover that the new bartender his manager hired for his restaurant, The Happy Onion, is the aggressive little blond he slept with once and can't forget. Thom is Phil's wet dream come true, from his angelic face to his fiery temper. For the first time, Phil hears the siren song of monogamy, and he's tempted to follow it. When Thom leaves The Happy Onion for a job managing an upscale nightclub, it looks like a chance for him and Phil to be together without the whole boss/employee thing hanging over them. Instead, Thom's new position brings out previously unsuspected differences in their world views. Differences with the power to destroy their fragile bond. So how will this nature-loving tree-hugger and corporate-ladder climber navigate this political minefield in the name of love? Very carefully. Warning, this book contains bad language, good music, vegan personal care products and lots of hot, dirty mansex.

    Not up to usual
    Customer Rating: 2 out of 5 
    This is not up the usual quality of Ally Blue. It got so predictable, I put it down before finishing it.

    Unexpected summer reading pleasure
    Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 
    It is filled with some intrigue as one eatery owner hires a buff but lonely chef. They fall for one another after a chance encounter and then begin working together. I read the book in 2 sittings and then brought it to my local used book shop. I hope someone else enjoys it as much as I did. The character development is fair and there are some tender and some steamy love scenes. Worhwhile, definately. A shelf occupier, not so much.

    SEXY HOT AND HAPPY

    The Happy Onion Asheville

    Thomas Stone, bartender
    Phil Sorrells, Owner

    Theme of story is {M/M} Modern Romance
    Thom and Phil have an amorous one night stand the night before Thom starts his temporary job which turns out to be Phil's restaurant. Phil is in high spirits with this event, while Thom is afraid his history with dating employers will repeat itself. There is also a political division between them on their views of Thom's new job. The story highlights the strong allure connecting the characters to each other, explicit love scenes and the emotional vulnerability they each experience. This book is amusing, happy ever after and very enjoyable.



    Cute
    Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
    After reading this I thought it was really cute. I usually like the bigger guy on top and the pretty and smaller guy on bottom but it was a surprising change. I really love it.

    Phillip Sorrells owns The Happy Onion, a restaurant and his manager hires Thomas Stone to be the new bartender. It just so happens that Thomas once slept with Phil and he hopes this will not cause complications. Phil, however, has not forgotten Thom and he is glad to have him on staff. Phil feels that Thom may be the man that he can spend the rest of his life with but Thom has a policy of not sleeping with the boss. Thom decides to find another job and this will give the two men a chance to be together without the boss/employees pressure. It doesn't quite work that way however as Thom's new job causes differences that neither of the two men were aware of and they could destroy any chances between them.
    The book has humor, emotion, suspense and sex. Thom and Phil are great characters who are drawn well and their conflicts are realistic. Phil is the perfect balance for Thom--he is somewhat quiet and reserved where Thom is full of life. Phil is tall and blonde and quite the hunk and is the dominant of the two. Phil loves him and the two who would seem to be an unlikely match go well together. Their dialogue is fresh and their characters are three dimensional and are the kinds of guys that any of us could meet. When they come together the sex is hot. At other times they are protective of one another. This is both a touching and fun read.
