Mickey Chambers Shakes It Up

By: Charish Reid

Narrated by: Marissa Hampton

“A heartfelt opposites-attract romance...” —Publishers Weekly

Total opposites. Totally irresistible.

Mickey Chambers is an expert at analyzing modern literature. But when it comes to figuring out her own story, she’s feeling a little lost. At thirty-three, she’s an adjunct instructor with a meager summer class schedule and too many medical bills, courtesy of her chronic illness. Picking up a bartending gig seems perfect. Sure, Mickey’s never done this before, but the gorgeous, grumpy bar owner, Diego Acosta, might be the perfect man to teach the teacher…if he wasn’t so stressed.

Diego is worried he’s running his late wife’s bar into the ground. Add the pressures of returning to college part-time at forty-two, and it’s no wonder he’s making rash decisions. Like hiring the sunny, sexy woman who looks more at home in a library than slinging beers to rowdy barflies, and who turns out to be teaching his online writing course, a complication neither was expecting…

It’s not long before Mickey starts reenergizing The Saloon with cocktails, karaoke and an optimism even Diego can’t ignore. They need to fight their feelings if they want to keep things professional, but all it takes is one sip, one kiss, to shake both their worlds forever…

Nice and Easy

This is a good summer story. Nothing too harsh just easy. A bit heavy on the intimate scenes but nothing crazy!

sweet couple

it is rare to read 2 older protagonists, while he was her boss she was his professor, creating an interesting power dynamic. He was a widower, she had medical conditions. At the end of the day they had each other.

loved

great writing, wonderful story. definitely made me smile. wonderful narrator. loved everything about this.

Shaking it Up Indeed!!

I have listened to this book multiple times! I love the chemistry between Mickey and Diego! They are one of the sweetest couple I have had the pleasure of being introduced to in the fictional world. Although this novel is a work of fiction, I can’t help but to point out that the possibility of finding love between two imperfect people is quite possible. This novel reassures me of that and is one of many reasons I keep re-listening to this novel!

Light hearted easy read!

This was a quick, cute read. Loved both MCs! Not too much angst or drama, just a well told love story. Looking forward to more from this author!
