The Bartender’s Pride

Pride Trilogy, Book 1

By: TJ Dallas

Narrated by: Scarlett Rose

This erotica follows Lara as she moves to a new city and comes to terms with her desire for another woman - a seductive bartender with a supernatural secret.

Lara’s world is turned upside down when her boyfriend cheats on her with her best friend, and she’s forced to move to a new city. Desperate for money, she gets a job at an LGBT nightclub. But her heart races, and inappropriate thoughts about the club’s owner, Harry, convince her that it must have everything to do with the stress that she’s under. She’s not gay. But there’s something about Harry. She’s stunning, cocky, and looks far too good in a shirt and tie. She’s also telepathic and can read Lara’s emotions like a book.

Harry is one of seven managers at the Cardinal, and she has a set of skills that can help Lara, but she has to manage her own feelings about three of the other managers in the meantime - Lust, Gluttony, and Envy. When things go downhill for Lara, can Harry make her proud of who she is, without admitting their deadly secret?

Absolutely adore the series by TJ Dallas. The 7 Sins with Pride running a nightclub is deliciously wicked in the sexiest of ways!

☆☆☆☆☆

Based around the Seven Deadly Sins, The Bartenders Pride is book one of T.J. Dallas’ Pride Trilogy, and if there is one thing you should know; it’s to prepare for the ride of your life!

Told from multiple POVs, the story begins with Lara, closeted and looking for a job. She arrives at The Cardinal, and more specifically Harry’s bar. Here, she learns to take pride in herself and discovers she doesn’t need to hide the desires she has long ignored.

Harry is one of seven managers at The Cardinal, and her nightclub is where most of the action takes place. She is confident and cocky—an arrogant soft butch who is the centre of the universe for many of those around her. As controlled as she is, though, all she wants is to protect the ones she loves. And have the time of her life doing it.

The Bartender's Pride is an erotic romance, leaning very much to the erotic side of things, and the sex really does flow from one chapter to the next, sometimes with barely a chance to recover in between. I doubt anyone will find a reason to complain, though. With a cast of magnetically alluring characters and a plot that slowly unravels into a shocking truth, this is only the beginning of a series that is bound to be a rollercoaster ride of fun and pure evil.

T.J. Dallas knows how to write a sex scene. In soooo many different ways. Never monotonous, always fresh and creative, and super-hot. On top of that, the characters are intricately crafted, with detailed backstories and personalities. The plot rides along nicely in the shadow of the erotica, balancing perfectly.

After reading the book several years ago, I listened to the audio version of The Bartender’s Pride, and there is definitely an upside to hearing Scarlett Rose bring Harry alive, Scottish accent and all. If you’re late to the party and haven’t checked out this series, I’d recommend doing it now!

I received an ARC from the author and am leaving a voluntary review.

I RAN to buy the second book

This book is about 7 women, each represents one of the 7 “Deadly” Sins. There are some heavier experiences in this book than are in a more (pardon the pun) straight wlw romance. It’s not exactly a HEA. But it is worth every second spent reading. Get. It.

Whew!!!!

Honey, hold on to your knickers!!! This book is fabulous! The relationship these characters have with one another is phenomenal and the way in which the author introduced and explained to you the seven deadly sins, how they affect you and how the virtues balance those seven sins out. Each character was great in their own right and the narration superb. The narration combined with the story was quite an experience.
Grab yourself a glass of your favorite cocktail, sit back and listen. This book will not disappoint!

Steamy read

The narrator has a scottish accent, it took some getting used to.

Also this audiobook had certain parts where it seem like it was re-recorded and edited in. Certain parts sounded like the narrator dropped and picked up another time. Some parts sounded louder...

The story itself is STEAMY. SO STEAMY. It took me awhile to get thru all of it.
