Synopses & Reviews
A jaded bartender is wooed by a charmingly quirky couple in this fresh and sizzling polyamorous rom-com, set in the glamorous
world of high-end cocktail bars--from the acclaimed author of the "tender, decadent, and sparklingly funny" (Lana Harper, New York Times bestselling author) Chef's Choice.
As a bartender at Terror & Virtue, a swanky New York City
cocktail lounge known for its romantic atmosphere and Insta-worthy
drinks, Mel has witnessed plenty of disastrous dates. That, coupled with
her own romantic life being in shambles, has Mel convinced love doesn't
exist.
Everything changes when Bebe walks into the bar. She's beautiful,
funny, knows her whiskeys--and is happily married to her partner, Kade.
Mel's resigned to forget the whole thing, but Bebe makes her a unique
offer: since she and Kade have an open marriage, she's interested in
taking Mel on a date.
What starts as a fun romp turns into a burgeoning relationship,
and soon Mel is trying all sorts of things she'd been avoiding, from
grand romantic gestures to steamy exploits. Mel even gets the
self-confidence to enter a cocktail competition that would make her
dream of opening her own bar a reality. In the chaotic whirl of all
these new experiences, Mel realizes there might be a spark between her
and Kade, too. As Bebe, Kade, and Mel explore their connections, Mel
begins to think that real love might be more expansive than she ever
thought possible.
With TJ Alexander's signature "witty and insightful voice,
complex characters, and full-throated celebration of the joy of queer
community" (Ava Wilder, author of
How to Fake It in Hollywood),
Triple Sec is a passionate, thirst-quenching love story that will have you asking for another round...or three.
Review
"Saying we need more books like this sounds trite, but it's true. It's
true because TJ Alexander is a queer author writing queer characters
with depth, authenticity, and skill. It's true because polyamory in the
genre is woefully underrepresented. But it's also true because this book
is hilarious and hot as hell, with characters you can't get enough
of." Meryl Wilsner, bestselling author of CLEAT CUTE
Review
"I read the whole book with a smile on my face. A delightful, joyful
romance with tempting cocktails and three unique, lovable
characters." Jackie Lau, author of LOVE, LIES, AND CHERRY PIE
Review
"Putting polyamory front and center, TRIPLE SEC is like nothing else
I've ever read, in the best possible way. It's sweet! It's sexy! It's a
completely charming celebration of queer romance, where every person is
loved and cared for in the exact way they deserve. I adored
it." Bridget Morrissey, author of THAT SUMMER FEELING
