Obsessed. Intoxicated. Addicted. Yup, those three words pretty much sums up my love for Harper Sloan and her books. There is just something so spellbinding and beautiful the way Harper writes a love story. She allows her readers like myself to get drunk on her words, characters, and the raw emotions she evokes. Whether there be a little drama or angst thrown into the mix, she definitely doesn’t forget the alpha male characters who makes their presence be felt throughout the book.

Drunk On You is the fourth installment of the Hope Town Series and can most definitely be read as a standalone. Do I advise it? Prolly not, since I am a huge fan of the series and you won’t be doing yourself justice in not knowing the gang of characters who have practically become like family. But if you don’t have time to read all three books, I highly recommend you to read When I’m With You so you will at least be familiar with Nate, Ember, Shane and Nikki.

When was the last time I gave up enough of my control to allow a woman to take this much from me? Never. The answer is immediate and shocking. What is it about Nicole Clark? ”

Nikki is a second grade teacher and has been single for the past year after catching her boyfriend, Seth cheating on her. Nikki is ready to move on but it seems her ex hasn’t received the message. Seth would constantly show up and call her non-stop begging her to forgive him and take him back.

Shane is part owner of Dirty Dog, a nightclub that he co-owns with Nate Reid. Shane, too is also dealing with an ex that doesn’t seem to get the message that it’s over.



So when Nikki goes to Dirty Dog for a night of fun, she sees Shane performing a dance routine on the bar. Intoxicated and filled with lust, Nikki goes up to him. It is there she whispers and informs him that she is single and ready for a night of fun.

Shane has always been attracted to Nikki and so with them both being single, they both decided to act on their sexual attraction. Soon Nikki finds herself tangled in the sheets with Shane and learns of his sexual kink of control. Shane somewhat becomes her real life sexy version of Christian Grey. But I must admit, I love this dominant version of Shane. First of all, he speaks French and whispers sweet nothings in her ear. Second, he is sexy AF.

Since Nikki wants to let her ex to know that she has moved on, she and Shane both come to an agreement that they will be in a fake relationship so both their exes can see that they have moved on and take the hint to leave them alone. With the agreement of fake relationship and lots of sex, it shouldn’t be a problem right since they both agreed no one should fall in love?

The last thought I’m aware of floating through my mind is that I’ve just been ruined for any other man. I’m so royally and literally screwed now. ”

Well, it didn’t take long for the lines of their relationship to get blurred. Soon Shane found himself wanting, needing, and craving Nikki. He never expected to fall for her so fast and hard but he did. Breaking all his rules about being in fake relationship out of the window, Shane and Nikki soon find themselves in a committed and real relationship. As Nikki falls hard for Shane, what happens when doubts and old issues of trust begins to linger? Will Shane be able to let go of the hurt caused by his ex and trust that Nikki is not that kind of woman?

Shane and Nikki’s chemistry were off the charts. It was blinding energy of passion, love, and raw honesty. It screamed soul mates. Yes, Shane and Nikki were each other’s missing piece. They just fit together like no other. And so reading about their love connection was just pure bliss and perfection. Seriously, I'm still swooning and grinning like a fool!!!!



Drunk On You was a sweet, sexy blend of passion and raw emotions. Everything about this book was intoxicating. The writing was visceral. The characters were charismatic. And as far as the story line, it was seductive, heartfelt and palpable. All in all, this book made you drunk off Harper ability to create a romance that was a burning inferno of love. And most importantly, it made me eagerly excited for Liberty’s book and which of the Cage sibling she will end up with.
