It started off as a game, sending a pic anonymously. All I’d planned to do was ruffle her feathers, maybe make her blush with embarrassment and possibly desire. I sure as hell had no intention of falling for her.
Although I fantasized about her being beneath me, watching her unravel, that would never happen anywhere other than in my wet dreams. Bronwyn James was fine wine to my cheap beer—the two didn’t mix in polite society without a hangover.
But on Snapchat, we were equals. Social and economic standings didn’t come into play, and neither did our age...until my feelings got involved. I’d gone from wanting Bronwyn in my bed to needing her in my life—but that might be too much to ask since I hadn’t been willing to tell her who I was.
This was a fun, fairly simple, quick and definitely downright dirty read and I did enjoy it. It's of novella-length but was actually still a decent size much longer than the usual novella. This one starts with a D-Pick (Haha do they ever work in real time I think not) and though at the beginning Kane does come across as a tad egotistical in regards to woman it soon became apparent that was mainly bluster on his part and he did quickly morph into quite the sweetheart when it came to Bronwyn and his emerging feelings for her. This is an age gap romance and Kane is the younger one here. I am not always a fan of this type of dynamic when it is YM/OW but here it did work for me. This also had minimal angst, was hot as hades and left me with the warm and fuzzies. I liked both main characters and this was told in dual POV which is my prefered way. All in all a romantic but steamy experience that I appreciated. I voluntary reviewed a copy of Mixologist: A Cougar Novella.
This was a hot little novella that I really liked, and Kane....*sigh* there was some off the charts chemistry between Kane and Bronwyn, and to think it all started with a picture....this book was so good I didn't want it to end, I am for sure recommending this book, and look forward to see what comes next
OMG HOTNESS!! This book starts out right from the start and your like OMG BAM! Kane is such a hottie. This age gap book was a good one! Kane and Bronwyn have such an instant chemistry right from the start between the two of them and they are literally drawn together! If your looking for a quick hot read and enjoy age gaps then this is the book for you!
This was a cute novella length book! I loved Kane and Bronwyn. I loved the age gap and cougar side to things! I actually wasnt really ready for this to end. I can only hope maybe we will see these guys again down the road!
This novella is a quick, fun read with lots of steam. A unique story that makes me wish there was more because I enjoyed the characters and their banter. Dating can be tough from what I remember, but Kane and Bronwyn take sexting to a new level. They had me laughing one minute and their hotness exploded the next. I’d defn recommend this flirty read for all to enjoy.
This one for me is 3.5-4 stars. I'm not sure I can call a 36-year-old woman a cougar, it just doesn't fit my image even when the main guy is 10 years younger. It was definitely a HOT book, and it was definitely fiction. As it started out with him sharing a d-pic and then coming across like an ass in the conversations, I just don't see a professional woman responding in any positive way to that.
The last couple of chapters after he proposes could have just been left out of the book. They didn't really add anything to the story, they just wrapped it up, which again could have just been done after the proposal moment.
Again it is a hot and steamy book, so if that's what you are after, go for it. For me, it just lacked the connection I hope for in any romance book because it was just too unrealistic yet set in a realistic setting.

Mixologist: A Cougar Novella was a steamy and hot 5 star read.
Kane is a Mixologist at a bar that Bronwyn has been going to after work and with her best friend. She’s out of Kane’s league but he can’t help but think about her. He decides to take a chance and send her an anonymous picture via social media, it was intended to be a way to mess with her. What he didn’t expect was to actually end up talking to her and getting to know each other better.
When they finally meet she is shocked to see who she has been talking to. There is a little bit of an age difference but they don’t let that stop them. They end up having some very hot and steamy moments. There is a huge misunderstanding that causes Bronwyn to second guess her choices. However, Kane does convince her of the truth and they move forward.
These two have such a hot connection, we get several hot and steamy moments. Things take a big twist that could change everything for them. Will they get a HEA?
I loved Bronwyn’s best friend Amy, she had me LOL several times. Overall, I really enjoyed this novella, we get a good epilogue but I would really like to see more from these two. This is my first read from Mila Hart and I can’t wait to read more from her.

5 dirty pic stars!! What a steamy, quick read this was... I'm still fanning myself!
Kane has always lusted over Bronwyn from afar, in fact she doesn't even really know he exists. He's a bartender at a lounge she frequents quite a bit and he just can't help but fantasize what it would be like to be with her. One fateful night, he catches her Snapchat screenname, so he decides to anonymously send her a dirty picture. Unsure of what her repsonse would be he waits. What he gets in return is never what he expected. The continue to play the charade, her not knowing who he is and he staying in the shadows. But when she finds out all bets are off... but of course there's always a wrench thrown into happiness... can they make it work?
I read this book before I went to bed and once I started I was like "nope I need to finish." And boy am I glad I did. This book is dirty, hot... and while I'd find Kane a creep in real life for sending the picture he did before he even talked to Bronwyn, I have to say it was a fun story to read! I loved the back and forth they had together and the whole older woman, younger man idea! This book is definitely worth the read if you want something hot and steamy!
This is a fast, easy and truly hot read. It's easy and not with a lot of drama. Just enough to give it the story we as readers like to read. I enjoyed it so much. I have had such a hard time as of late reading and this one I was able to get through without having to set it down and keep going back. I am in such a book slump. This book will melt your kindle pages. I loved it. I laughed out loud at moments with their friends. I also had a moment like, damn! snapchat can be your friend.
Bronwyn has been going to The Lounge now for a while. Its where she goes after business hours to just let loose and be free. She meets dates there as well.
Kane is the mixologist in the bar. He loves his job and is not a relationship bound. He is a hit it and quit it kind of guy. So when he sees Bronwyn there one night with a guy that is just a jerk he takes matters into his own hands.
This book I mean it when I say laugh out loud moments. Bronwyn’s friend Amy was funny as well as Kane's friend Jason. The ignite the pages of your kindle. The spark they have is immediate but it builds on friendship in the unlikeliest of ways. It suits them. They are good people and I liked the growth in Kane. They have so much in common and yet they are vastly different.
When something unlikely happens can Kane and Bronwyn make it through? Read and find out.
I love when two authors come together and give you one phenomenal read. Seriously, Mila Hart knocked this one out of the park. What woman wouldn't adore a younger man, who's sexy as hell, blessed in all the right ways, is confident, and knows all the right words to say? Yes, I'm referring to Kane, better known as the mixologist.
The originality of the story line is what sets the Mixologist apart from other cougar reads. I adored the messages sent between Kane and Bronwyn, a woman that he's watched from afar who frequents the bar where he works. In the real world, I'm not sure that someone like Bronwyn would've responded to him the way that she did. But because she played into their Snapchat conversations with such good humor, made this one heck of a read.
The two of them together made this one super steamy read and I kind of hated to see their story come to an end. They clicked so well, despite a few moments, but I'd really love to see this couple in action again.
Look out world, Mila Hart has emerged and left their mark in the reader community. Give this writer duo a chance because they're going to melt your panties in the best way. Solid writing, fun story, great characters...Mixlologist is hot!!
After the dark book I was reading I just needed one book that could take the edge off and when this baby appeared on my kindle I just knew it would be it. I've only read one book co-written by these two amazing authors and I knew I needed more. Mila Hart is their name and they will make you a fan. Mixologist is Mila's latest release and tells the stories of Kane and Bronwyn. It all started with a picture. A picture that was sent with the porpoise to embarrass her but he couldn't imagine what the development that simple task had... Sweet, perfect, intense and hot. This book has all the right ingredients for a successful story and you can't miss it. Great plot, well written, super engaging and hot. It was amazing to see the chemistry they share. You can't ignore your heart. Sometimes you need to listen to it and go grab what you want. It was amazing to testify their connection and the hot stuff will rock your world... Mila... You girls... This book rock and I can't wait for more. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Mixologist By Mila Hart 4 stars Reviewed on behalf of 3 Degrees of Fiction Book Blog
Mixologist was a fun and quick read! I do love a novella sometimes and I loved that this one didn’t feel rushed and it definitely didn’t feel like it lacked anything at all. Kane and Bronwyn were extremely hot together – I thought they had a great amount of chemistry and fair play to Bronwyn who wouldn’t want to get together with Kane! He had that boyish charm that’s easy to fall for!!! I get that the way in which they meant was a bit cliché but it is current and that is how people meet these days! I thought that this was a very entertaining read full of hot and steamy scenes but also with a really good story line – I didn’t feel that the scenes between Bronwyn and Kane took over the story. Overall a really enjoyable read that I would definitely recommend – especially if you are looking for a short sexy read!
Kane and Bronwyn have met many times, where she comes for a drink and he pours her them. Kane is someone that does not feel more than anything than just NSA fun but he is drawn to Bronwyn and is insecure how to approach her. But he finds a way to get her attention and build a connection before revealing himself. I enjoyed how they cyber sex each other before they officially met. The scenes between them was hot and the connection was strong beyond the 'fun'. However to get their HEA was not easy. Bronwyn, is strong and looking for more but she is guarded due to not having luck on finding love. I enjoyed seeing these 2 characters come together. I enjoyed Amy, Bronwyn's friend, I would say she needs a book but she already has her HEA but she has other friends that maybe she can introduce them to Kane's coworkers: Leon and Jason. So they can fall in love with a mature woman to keep them on their toes and get HEA.
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
First off get a fan before you sit down to read this because you just may need it before you get done. Bronwyn is unhappy with the dating pool even if she is a successful business woman the men around her are just awful. At least until one anonymously sends her a Snapchat. This leads to some interesting back and forth between the two but he is reluctant to tell her who is is due an age gap as well as a social gap. It is two explosive for words once they finally come together though they are still in for a few bumps in the road before things work out with that sweet epilogue we get. If you like lots of steam and are okay with the age gap then you totally have to read this. My only complaint is that is was over too soon. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
This novella is SUPER FREAKING HOT! Kane has been lusting hardcore after Bronwyn since she showed up in her hot business suits in his bar. She doesn't notice him and why should she, he feels as if she is so far out of her league. Until he gets her snapchat handle and things get interesting and SUPER dirty. Bronwyn has no clue sent her the dirty snapchat picture, but she is intrigued and she wants more, why wont he tell her who he is?!
Y'all, all in all, this is short, steamy, SUPER HOT, and full of awesome emotions. The authors did a great job of including emotions in the whirlwind and I will totally be checking them out again!
Thanks to Mila Hart and Enticing Journey Book Promotions for allowing me an advanced copy to where I could read and review it honestly!
This book is one that I absolutely loved. The subject is not written about much and this author has created an amazing, steamy, all encompassing novel about a romance that is completely unexpected. Her writing is flawless and steamy - enough you might need to take a shower after you’re finished reading this. Mila Hart is a one-click author for me. This book is one that was devoured in hours because I couldn’t put it down once I started it. Amazing job Mila Hart!
What starts out as a prank turns into so much more than Bronwyn and Kane bargained for. It is a tale of prank to lust to wanting more. I loved the storyline and was immediately immersed in all the words. Amazing book that you need today!!
So, I really enjoyed this story. It was not your average story in the least and the differences that threw me made me laugh and think huh, okay. And hooked me in.
The beginning of Bronwyn and Kane's relationship was, but was not the norm for most. And I literally lol'd at the clicheness of it, but then was surprised at how it progressed. I think the intriguement was more real than what the world likes to share with others, so I was like, okay let's see what happens.
The story was also pretty steamy. If you need a hot read to get you through your day, I would recommend this one.
From the totally real plot to the hot, cougar attraction this book is a perfect weekend read!
This was a hot read and it was something new to me. Bronwyn is a mature and sexy business woman that come in to the bar and Kane is instantly fascinated and in just with her. They share some heated glances and Kane can’t help but see how hopeless the men are that try to get her attention and taking a chance he sends her a dirty picture on Snapchat. Not able to resist the treat she was sent Bronwyn is very interesting in what the whole package contains. They have plenty of interaction with out her knowing who he really is which was a nice change. It had an easy pace and was well written. Some very hot scenes and a happy ending that made me smile. - By Tiffany
From the first page to the last, I was consumed by Bronwyn & Kane’s story!
I loved these two characters together with their chemistry, banter, & how well they fit together. Bronwyn & Kane were meant to be.
This is the first book that I have read by Mila Hart & it definitely won’t be my last! I have read most of Stephie Walls’ books so I knew before I read Mixologist that I would get lost in Stephie’s writing and I did. I can’t wait for more by Mila Hart!
I really enjoyed the novella and how different it was to what I usually read. I loved how Bronwyn was older and established in her life and career and Kane while younger had his own career but wasn't an alpha billionaire, alpha a million percent, but more of your average guy which was a pleasant change. This book made me laugh, probably because I could relate to how they met and it was sizzling between the sheets and great read. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book for an honest review.
Sometimes you don’t want to spend a few days diving into a story. You want it now and you want it good. Enter Mila Hart! With Mixologist they once again deliver a novella that’s quick, steamy, totally HOT, and wholly satisfying. Spilling over with electric chemistry, scorching steam, did I mention it’s HOT?...and so much fun this is one whirlwind romance that a quickie, but oh so pleasing!
I’m excited for what’s next from these authors because I need more delicious leading men like Kane. Yum. 5 steam af stars.
Wow! This book! It started out a slow burn which might not make sense when you read the first chapter, but these ladies created some major suspense! Despite being 11 years younger, Kane takes control in the more intimate moments and rocks Bronwyn’s world. A major misunderstanding threatens the budding relationship after their first encounter. Will Bronwyn walk away and assume Kane is indecisive and immature? You’ll definitely want to find out.
The Mixologist was super sweet AND super steamy. Great combination and I really enjoyed this book! 4 stars
When you are in need of a loving, funny amazing story...This one is a go to!!!. I immediately fell in love with the playful and young Kain!! The name in itself had power to it when you were reading it from the page!! LOL
Kain's attitude, he struggle with his self-esteem with the dynamics of the possibilities he could lose with this relationship with Brownyn, all though he was SUPER hot, blended and mixed perfectly. Even though I like Brownwyn, Kain will be the one that keeps you on your toes!!!
Oh my goodness ! Talk about a the heat level of 0 to 60 in a few seconds. This quick story was hot AF 🔥! I absolutely loved Kane and Bronwyn. Their chemistry was everything. Talk about a swoon worthy book boyfriend🥰. Sweet, bit dirty and totally hot. Pretty much everything I could want and more. I was cheesing 😆so much that my cheeks started to hurt. Totally loved this story! 5 solid stars✨✨✨✨✨
One steamy and touching read. Two people who connected via text and took a chance before finding each other. Bronwyn and Kane heat up this story, and I enjoyed every page. Kane knew what he wanted and risked reaching out. Bronwyn, though hesitant, wanted to try something different. Obstacles needed to be surmounted, confidence needed to be gained, and trust in each other.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
Kane is a bartender at the bar Bronwyn goes to with her friend. He has always had a crush on her but knows she's out of his league. He finds out her snapchat name by accident and sends her an anonymous naughty picture. He never expected it to go where it does with them. Bronwyn is older but she finds Kane attractive and is willing to give things a shot. This was a steamy, hot cougar read that I recommend.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving a review.
This author duo is always a must read when a new books comes. Kane is a bartender and thats when he see Brownyn but they never speak but he lust for from afar. But when he happens to catch her snap screen name and decides to send her an xrated snap. And he gets a bigger shock with the way she responds. I loved these two and there connection even with there age difference and how they officially meet. A definite steamy read for summer.
I got this book as an ARC for free for an honest review. This book started off pretty fast for me, it felt like the first half of the book was missing. Took me a while to find my bearing for the storyline. However, by the third chapter I was wrapped up in the story. It was very well written and the storyline was decent and kept me hooked, the ending is my favourite. I love a player than falls madly for the female lead and is stupid happy.
