The Martini Sisterhood–five women bonded by the ties of friendship, supporting each other through challenges of surviving love, and loss. For these women, life can change on a whimsical dare and a magic eight ball…

She’s good at sorting out professional messes…

Accountant Zip Collins spends so much time on spreadsheets that’s she’s forgotten what it’s like to be between the sheets. During her weekly cocktail hour with the girls, they consult a Magic Eight Ball about her crush on bartender Tony. When the toy advises her to go for it, Zip dares to color outside the lines and go after the man who heats her dreams…

He’s in the middle of a personal trial…

Tony Giordano enjoys Friday nights above all others, because it’s the one night a week he’s sure to see the sexy accountant and her friends. Having long since resigned Zip to the look, but don’t touch category, he’s blown away by her invitation. Tony’s always been a planner but with his custody battle looming, he’s not prepared for the effect she has on him…

One night leaves them both shaken…

What began as a whimsical dare quickly turns passionate, but is an unquenchable desire–and a Magic Eight Ball’s advice–enough for these two planners to risk happily ever after on?

Tamara’s Review

I love Heather’s Marines, but these Martini mavens rock the house! I love stories that center around a great group of women who are lifelong friends. Shaken is the first book in this brand new series and starts us off with a hit. (Not that I expect anything else from Miss Heather Long)
I loved the characters in Shaken. Though we only got a brief introduction to the girls in the Martini Sisterhood, their differences in personality and occupations makes for an interesting dynamic. Zip was hilarious. I loved how she was so buttoned up and such an “accountant” on the outside, but hiding a gentle and passionate heart underneath.
Tony was just… wow. Do they really make men like that anymore? A hardworking, loving, caring man. An awesome father, who plans for the future and isn’t afraid to commit. Damn, I have a great husband, but if I didn’t I would snap up Tony in a heartbeat!
You all know my criteria for a great book: Heart, Humor and Heat. The golden triangle, and Shaken hits them all.
I can’t wait for the next book!
