About this listen
April Markham might be jet-lagged beyond belief, but at least the bartender at her hotel is easy on the eyes. After years of throwing herself into work to combat the pain of a failed relationship, a bit of innocent flirtation is exactly what she needs to get her groove back.
Nick is the full package—charming, handsome, age appropriate, single. Plus, he makes a fantastic gin gimlet. One night of conversation turns into two, and his company quickly becomes as irresistible as the cocktails he crafts. Although April never intended to mix business with pleasure while traveling for work, things are destined to move from the bar to the bedroom.
But as the red-hot flame of attraction burns bright, reality threatens to douse their heat. She’s a businesswoman from New York; he’s a bartender in Seattle. And as her flight home looms, April must decide whether to risk her heart on a cross-country affair or announce “last call” on what could be the romance of a lifetime.

Quick and Fun Listen
This is a quick and fun listen. This is the first single narrated book I've listened to in a while and Claire Marlowe did a great job. When on a business trip April stops at the hotel bar for a drink and finds so much more. Nick is intriguing and fun. I liked that these two had instant chemistry but took a beat to figure out if they were both on the same page. Can a fling become more? I am interested to see what this author comes up with next!

Such a fun little bite of spicy romance!
Nick and April meet by chance when she is on a business trip and sits at his bar. Though she is only in town for a few days, they have instant chemistry and a desire to get to know one another. Will a long-distance relationship be in the cards for them?
Brianna's novellas are such a fun little bite of romance, with a dash of delicious spice. I like that the attraction is instantaneous and they waste little time getting to the fun parts of romance stories - the swooning and the spicy bits. That said, there are always snippets of emotional moments and tension as well.
Claire is a new narrator to me, but I think she does a fantastic job solo narrating this novella. She does very well with both April and Nick's characters, and her masculine voice is great. The narration moves the story along beautifully and kept me engaged as the listener.

great tease for what's to come for this couple
April and Nick have instant chemistry that ignites into a fling while she's in town on business. But as real feelings start fo develop, can these two take the risk to see what the future could hold? I liked that it was a quick listen, but now I'm definitely ready to know what's next for them! Narrators brought these characters to life.

A Dash of Desire Book 1
📚Review~ The Businesswoman and the Bartender (A Dash of Desire Book 1)
🖋Author~ Brianna Bancroft
🖋Genre: Contemporary Romance, Quick Read
⭐️Rating: 4/5
Narrator: Claire Marlowe
With April always working, trying to put the past behind her, she rarely has an opportunity for more than an acquaintance. But a fun flirtation at a business convention with Nick is just the thing. Nick has an easy-going personality that encourages April to give them both a chance even though more than just careers seem to separate them.
The Businesswoman and the Bartender is the first in the Dash of Desire set. It’s a fantastic read with a heartfelt HEA!
