You Had Me at Happy Hour: A Spicy Opposites Attract Rivals to Lovers MM Romance

When a buttoned-up sommelier and a flirtatious TikTok mixologist are forced to share the same restaurant floor, the only thing more combustible than their rivalry is the chemistry they're desperately trying to ignore.

Julien Boire has his life mapped out with meticulous precision. Leave Bethlehem, Pennsylvania behind, complete his advanced wine course, and become a master sommelier—no detours, no distractions, no exceptions. His OCD keeps him anchored to routine, and routine keeps him sane. What it doesn't account for is Greg Harlow walking through the doors of his aunt and uncle's restaurant like he owns the place.

Greg is everything Julien isn't: loose, loud, and dangerously charming. A charismatic mixologist with a devoted social media following, he can make anyone smile—including Julien, who is absolutely, definitively not interested. They're a mismatch on paper. A bold cab with a delicate salmon. A shaken martini in a wine glass. And yet, somewhere between their pointed jabs across the bar and the late nights spent closing down Martin's Place together, the line between rivalry and something far more dangerous begins to blur.

*You Had Me at Happy Hour* is a warm, witty, and genuinely steamy MM romance set against the backdrop of small-town charm and big feelings. It's a grumpy-sunshine slow burn that proves the best pairings are always the ones nobody sees coming—and once you taste it, you won't want to put it down.
