From The Publisher:
Looking for the perfect mix of smart, sexy, and sassy? Mai Tai'd Up continues New York Times bestselling author Alice Clayton's Cocktail series, which began with Wallbanger and continued with Rusty Nailed and Screwdrivered.
The gossip mill in the seaside community of Monterey is churning about Chloe Patterson, the newcomer who is starting a sanctuary for rescued pit bulls. It's rumored that she's a former beauty queen (true) who ditched her fiancé the morning of their wedding (also true). And that while she's not looking for a new man, the good-looking local veterinarian has his eye on her. Absolutely, positively true.
When Lucas Campbell isn't at the family veterinary clinic, he's paddle boarding in Monterey Bay. Recently single, he's definitely not in the market for a new relationship, but he still can't resist taking a second, third, and fourth look at the recent arrival of Miss Golden State.
Neither Lucas nor Chloe has any interest in being tied down. Being tied up, however-now there's a thought. But are a few Mai Tais, a moonlit night, and the music of Frank Sinatra enough to allow them both to forget their past? Let's hope Ol' Blue Eyes knows what he's doing.
Mix one part tiki, one part kinky, and a splash of old black magic matchmaking, and it's time to be . . . Mai Tai'd Up.

This series is one of my favorite romantic series of all time. They have everything cute/awesome relationship, great characters to follow and a very readable plot line. This series isn't as heavy in tension and angst which is it's nice for a change to have more of a fun and feel good feel to it. Highly recommend this series, annoyed at myself for not reading it sooner!
