Review by: AmyLOVED LOVED LOVED this book! Alice Clayton is one of those authors that I can always count on to make a clearly witty and romantic book that draws me in from just the title. This book was no exception. I truly enjoy the hell out of this series and love that her books just keep getting better and better!I loved getting to meet Chloe and Lucas!! They absolutely adorable and watching their relationship develop was great. I love how all of the cocktail books intermingle characters so I feel like I am still so connected to the how list of players. I feel like everyone is represented and expressed as well as the focus couple. The setting for this book was just amazing. It travels from Sunny San Diego to Monterey and the descriptions are amazing!! Alice is great at being able to paint the complete picture of the story with her details. We get to see how the story unfolds from a big city to a small sleepy town to the gorgeous coastal waters. It was just amazing to visualize. This book was a total 5* for me and I would totally recommend it. This series is unique and well written from the very first pages. The pure wit and charm resonate from the front to the back of this book and every single page in between! Start the cocktail series if you haven’t and sit back and enjoy!5 StarsReview by: TracyLet me first start out saying that I absolutely love Alice Clayton. My first book by her was Wallbanger, which was one of my all time favorite romantic comedy ready. So when the opportunity to read another one her novels came up I jumped at the chance. Like I said I absolutely loved Wallbanger then Rustnailed and then Screwdrivered. All the stories had the funniest lead female characters and I thought Chloe Patterson in Mai Tai'd Up wouldnt be any different. I unfortunately didn't get what I was hoping for. Sure she was a strong female character, doing what is best for her, but I wanted crazy antics and funny men who made her even wittier, and sadly I didn't get that.Don't get me wrong, it was a good book, I just expected so much more based on the previous reads by Alice Clayton. If you loved the previous books in the series I would highly suggest reading this one as well. While this could be read as a stand alone, characters from the previous stories make an appearance. 4 Stars Not my favorite but not bad. What's not to love about a redheaded veterinarian? Adore Lucas so much!If only it hadn't felt incredibly fast-paced and short. I needed more. Weeks of time went by in a paragraph. Dates went by in a page or two. More time was spent detailing Chloe and her doomed wedding day. (Seriously. 18% or more. And since this is a short book, that really is much too much.)Still, Alice is hilarious and I loved how much the doggies played a part.
