I’d grown up with two well-meaning, but also two overbearing parents, and, as the youngest of three siblings, I was the only one who wasn’t “successful.”
I worked in a bar. In. A. Bar.
Yup, that was me hearing my mother’s disappointed voice. Because everyone around me was climbing the corporate ladder or performing brain surgery. Hell, my own brother was succeeding as an actual rocket scientist. Meanwhile, I was slinging drinks and refining the art of mixing the perfect Cosmopolitan.
I didn’t know what I wanted to do—other than not being a rocket scientist—or who I wanted to be when I grew up. And if I was being honest with myself, growing up had come and gone a while ago.
I just . . . wanted to feel something.
Excitement or pleasure or even to know what it was like get my heart broken. But nothing ever happened to me. I existed in this boring bubble of life, pouring drinks most nights, reading the others away, and . . . not feeling anything.
Until I saw him.
Then I felt everything.
REVIEW: ON THE ROCKS (LOVE AFTER MIDNIGHT) BY ELISE FABER
On The Rocks by Elise Faber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Faber is not afraid to tackle the hard stuff. She can break a heart, expose attitude or spice up a romance and she does it all with losing her sense of humor. Sometimes there's an instant connection other times emotion does all the work. No matter the case her heroes and heroines remind us to feel. On the Rocks thrusts heartache into overdrive with a tale of angst that culminates in self discovery. Annabelle and Hayden are brutally honest. Their journey will haunt and inspire as they let us into their souls.
