Brewing Up a Bad Boy

By Katherine Garbera
Brewing Up a Bad Boy by Katherine Garbera digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A tea shop owner good girl and a reformed microbrewer bad boy reunite in this wonderfully wicked love story.

Sometimes the second sip is sweetest.

In the cozy town of Birch Lake, tea shop owner Poppy Kitchener thought she’d left her mistakes, and her failed marriage, in the past. But when her ex-husband, Alistair Miller, turns up—as charming and irritatingly handsome as ever—those old feelings float to the surface. To top it off, he has a puzzling proposition: pretend they’re still married for his cousin’s wedding in exchange for a lucrative business deal with his family.

Easy enough, right? After all, this could be Poppy’s last chance to get closure, grow her business and use Alistair’s knowledge of microbrewing to help her finish that winning recipe for the tea competition.

But even after all this time, he still knows how to make her laugh. And he’s changed in ways that make Poppy wonder about the man he’s become… Can she trust this new Alistair with her heart, or will a second chance brew up disaster?

Brewing Up a Bad Boy is a spicy, fast-paced romance you can read in one sitting.

Brewing Up a Bad Boy Reviews

3.5
“The third book in the Wicked Sisters trilogy and it was just as sweet and delightful as the others. This was a second chance romance and I loved the chance to be back in the Wicked Sisters world as they feel like friends to me by now. In this book we focus on Poppy and Alistair who were previously married when she was only 18. At the time of their marriage, Alistair was only dating/marrying her for her family's tea recipes- needless to say when this became apparent their marriage ended after she found out about that twist in her contract with her father-in-law handing over all rights to her tea recipe to her Father -in -law's tea company. Alistair was doing all of this to Poppy to prove to his father that he is the better son of the family. After the divorce, Alistair starts doubting his actions and begins realising that he will never have his father's approval and that he actually may no longer crave it. He begins regretting letting Poppy go and betraying her as she was the only person who has ever really loved him. A cosy feel good read that had me brewing up a cup of tea as I plunged into their lovely little world. #katherinegarbera #brewingupabadboy #amazonkindle #goodreads #getlitsy #thestorygraph #fable #contemporaryromance #secondchanceromance #tea_sipping_bookworm #bookqueen #bookstagram”
“This was the best of the three I'm this series. Simple, easy to read, fast paced. It was a good second chance romance that they both learned from the past and changed for the better. If you're looking for something easy to read and entertaining then this serious is for you. I still didn't like the cliche argument/secret to happen in the last chapter. It makes the resolution too quick and not feel fully hashed out. Still overall cute.”
