Floridian Elizabeth Brannigan finds herself in Chicago clandestinely investigating one of her father's investments, a biker bar named the Irish Pub. Elizabeth is out to prove to her father and brother that she is accomplished enough to become CEO of their million-dollar family business when her father retires. Done up in designer suits and driving a rented Mercedes, Elizabeth tries to smooth out the bottom line at this neighborhood watering hole. On a recognizance mission to size up her competition, Elizabeth meets handsome Colin O'Leary, who tends bar at his family's pub. Colin has just returned home after drifting around for three years following the death of his father. Colin and Elizabeth are both on missions to prove their worth to their relatives. Colin struggles to improve his business acumen, while Elizabeth works to exhaustion to reinvent the image of her bar. Will our pair realize they've got to match wits as well as hearts to find success?
VERDICT Reveling in the give-and-take between these protagonists with very different personalities, readers will learn how a spark of romance can complicate or simplify personal challenges. Schroeder (More Than This) knows how to make readers care about her characters.
