Lexi is a single mom raising two daughters. She has a bit of a crush on her boss as the dream man, and she edits novels for a living. When a girls-night-out with friends lead her to meet a hot as sin bad boy bartender, it's a perfect night for a one-night-stand. That is until she learned that he's her boss' ex-firefighter brother, and this hot guy wants her for more than one night. This can get VERY complicated indeed. Now she's caught between her fantasy and her reality, and it's definitely a hot mess.
Good setup, good conflict, seems to be all there. There are some self-inadequacy issues at the beginning, but that's something to be grown out of. 4.5/5

GRR Reviews Never Say Never by Emily Goodwin
Never Say Never is a contemporary romance featuring two wounded souls, each coping with their own tragedies in their own ways. When they met, they recognized each other, and a friendship developed, but can it be more?
Haley is a tortured soul. She lost her mother while rescuing neglected and abused horses, and she blamed herself every day while trying to keep herself going, to rescue more animals, for it was the only thing that kept her alive. Her rent is coming due, her boss is more interested in her bra size than her job performance... Running into Aiden, the Hollywood playboy was not on the menu at all. But Aiden is far from the Hollywood playboy he appeared to be either. He copes by engaging in NSA sex, drug, and alcohol abuse, for he can't sleep. When his latest movie took him into Haley's town, they met, and they recognized something in each other: they are both so very alone... but can they risk that friendship turning into something more?
Each character were nicely rounded, with proper wounds and dimensions, as well as coping techniques. However, the darkest hour was the simple "inadequacy trope" which means I can't give this the highest rating.
