My Review:

Martini Sunday was the final installment of the Hookup Café Series and featured a rather complicated plot, lots of secondary characters, and some suspense along with Ms. Flowers' unique humor and deliciously steamy love scenes. Vixen was a hot mess with a cute kid and no shortage of men trolling around her. Luckily for Sutton, she was only interested in his well-toned muscles and thoughtful personality, but she keeps him guessing and on his toes as her history was extremely sketchy and no one seemed to have all the pieces to this jagged puzzle until near the end. Even though I had previously read all the previous installments, I often felt a bit off-kilter and confused, however, I remained amused and entertained by the levity, breezy banter, and the sizzling sensual scenes; and then it all came together for me shortly before the epilogue. Ms. Flowers has a breezy writing style, although the storyline would most likely be difficult to follow without knowledge of the previous installments.

Vixen is on the run, with her son Dawson, from her ex-husband. She hires Sutton to protect her son and essentially be his manny. But Sutton has always had is heart set on Vixen and Dawson becoming his family.

Although this is supposed to be a standalone, it seemed like I was missing something ... like Sutton and Vixen's story started in another book. Although I found the book entertaining, some of the dialogue was cheesy. And really ... who changes their name to Vixen ... especially when you already have a kid?

This is my first book by this author. I am not sure if all her books are written the in the same style. The beginning of the book seemed like it was picking up from another story. Vixen and Sutton have already met. they have established a working relationship. They already have feelings for each other although they haven't acted on them. Her past is messy and we get pieces leaked to us throughout the story until it all comes out. The flow of the story was off for me. It was a quick read. I got a kick out of Vixen's son Dawson.
