The life of Norm as a bouncer and Lucy as a shotgirl at the Jezebel bar.

The first time Norm has seen Lucy was the day he basically fell for her and that was only his first day at work as a bouncer at the bar. Lucy is blonde, petite and beautiful. Once they met, playful flirting started right away. Back and forth they flirted with the worst pick up line they could think of. They laugh a lot, they had so much fun that they lost track of time. In that same day, Norm wanted to get to know Lucy more, but with his new boss Hank’s rule “no dating co-workers”, it just couldn’t happen.

Norm and Lucy tried to keep away from each other, but for some reason they always ended up together. On Norm’s first day, she offered to give him a ride home since his car was in the shop. They thought that was the only time, but the rides became frequent. Which gave them more time to talk and get to know each other. But the more they talked and got to know each other, the more they realized they couldn’t keep away from each other. Neither one wanted to lose their job, they both needed the money. So they agreed to just stay friends, but before that could happen..Norm made a deal. The deal is for them to get all the sexual tension out in the open and just kiss one time and get it over with. Lucy agreed and boy that was a mistake, the kiss just sealed the feelings they were starting to have for each other. After that day they figured out what they wanted to do. Since they were both crazy about each other, they agreed to have a relationship, but to keep it a secret from everyone they worked with. Norm didn’t like it at all, but he wanted Lucy anyway he can have her.

With Lucy and Norm sex was great, but Norm wanted so much more for them. He cared deeply for Lucy, but Lucy was hot and cold. When Lucy gets scared of the relationship she runs off or just completely ignores Norm. Norm is the sweet and caring guy and knew what he wanted so he never back down. He knew he wanted Lucy and he will do what he can to keep her. But Lucy’s constant struggle to keep their relationship a secret, was taking a toll on Norm. He wants their relationship to work, but with Lucy he never knows what she truly feels or if she would fight for them.

Will Lucy figure out why she really wants and fight for her relationship with Norm?
Or will she keep running off scared and cause Norm to give up.
Read and find out.

Norm and Lucy are a super cute couple. When Lucy is relaxed and not worrying about the what ifs, she truly cares for Norm. Sometimes she just gets too worried, that I wish she would just let go and let Norm love her.

I love that Norm is so sure about wanting Lucy, that he would risk anything to be with her. I wish Lucy was the same, but she isn’t. She is like a roller coaster ride who is constantly going up and down over and over. While reading you can’t help but hope she finds her way quick before she looses a great guy like Norm.

Also I love how Norm and Lucy are such a cute geeky couple who loves Star Wars, Comics and so on.
