A steamy friends with benefits, surprise pregnancy standalone novel by romantic comedy author Gia Stevens…

We went from fling to friend-zone. Now I have to tell him he’s going to be a dad.

After my ex-husband left, I became a single mom and vowed never to date a guy in a suit again.

Then Trey Wilson entered my life. The guy who lives in suits. He’s charismatic, good-looking, and charming AF.

Everything that can make any woman swoon, including me.

What started as a one-night fling turned into a mid-morning office quickie, followed by an afternoon rendezvous in my kitchen. Which ultimately led to the purchase of a new table.

After I told him we can only be friends, he's determined to be my best friend. The more time we spend together the boundary between friends and benefits blur.

Deep down, I know he’s exactly like the others. Once they get what they want, they’re out the door, leaving me to pick up the pieces of my broken heart. Been there. Done that. And I have a daughter to prove it.

So the moment emotions get involved, I quickly suppress them and do what I know is right.

I end whatever this is.

Except now I can’t do that when the white stick shows two pink lines.

Love Is Ale You Need is a friends with benefits, surprise pregnancy romantic comedy. Be prepared to laugh-out-loud one minute and swoon the next in this steamy standalone romcom. The Brews and Flings series is a spin-off of the Harbor Highlands series. You’ll see a lot of familiar characters but also new ones. Each book in the Brews and Flings series is set in the same world, and delivers a guaranteed happily ever after.

It's the perfect summer read!!
5 out of 5 stars
It's the perfect summer read!!
I love all of Gia Stevens books! If you haven't read one yet....what are you waiting for?❤️ A romantic comedy that delves into the complexities of modern relationships with humor and heart. I can't wait to see where this series goes.❤️I fell in love with all the characters in this story!We follows Rylee, a single mom who has sworn off men in suits after a bad experience with her ex-husband. However, her resolve is tested when she meets Trey Wilson, a charismatic man who embodies everything she wants to avoid. What begins as a one-night stand evolves into a series of encounters that blur the lines between friendship and romance.❤️There are so many laugh-out-loud moments and steamy romance scenes, highlighting the chemistry between the main characters and the witty banter that defines their relationship.❤️I don't usualky like the surprise pregnancy trope, but Gia adds a twist to the narrative, challenging the protagonists to navigate unexpected emotions and decisions. This added enough emotional depth and I was all in!!❤️If you're looking for a feel-good read that combines the best elements of a friends-with-benefits scenario and a surprise pregnancy plot that deliver a satisfying happily ever after, grab this one now!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2024
    Cute, funny, swoony, and all around an enjoyable read.

    Rylee is the bartender at Porter’s (the main bar in the Flirting books of the Harbor Highlands series) and Trey is the forever bachelor of the town.

    Rylee abstains Trey’s charm as long as she can because she doesn’t need the drama and he’s a one-and-done kind of guy. Except he can’t stop thinking about her. No other woman even is a blip on his radar after he starts pursuing Rylee.

    This is adorable in all the right ways. Gia has written another banger and I’m diving into book two ASAP!

    Great characters, solid story, and just a joy to read.

    Love is Ale You Need
    by Gia Stevens

    Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (0-5)
    Steam: 🔥🔥🔥☄️(0-5) I bump up for public places/outdoor spaces.

    What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
    🤩 Hormones, chemistry, and back seat action! One night stand but they only make it to the parking lot. I love it when I don’t have to wait!! And when the steamy goodness keeps getting better.
    🤩 Rylee works at Porter’s as a bartender. Trey rents a room at Porter’s for his weekly Single Bros. Life meeting.
    🤩 How Trey goes from Single Bros. Life (and dating rules) to totally smitten and won’t give up! “Then I’m going to be the bestest friend you’ve ever had.”
    🤩 How Rylee resists (no more dudes in suits) and so they banter so much!
    🤩 When Trey finally gets to plan a first date night with Rylee—it’s fabulous!
    😜 Surprise pregnancy and all the signs.
    🤩 I love when the single mom’s kid and the new daddy figure win me over.
    🤩 The broken table and the new table—Trey is total book boyfriend material.
    🤩 Definitely some oh my gosh and laugh out loud moments.
    🤩 The steamy moments are so fun, intimate, and hot!
    🤩 I like a little bar suspense and crazy ex drama.

    What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
    💫 Okay, who’s Seth Taylor and which book can I find him in?! Harbor Highlands’ back list, here I come . . . (Don’t forget to grab the bonus scene).
    💫 And take me to Three Moose Lodge, pleeeaaase!
    💫 I was a little disappointed when there was mention of a special office lunchtime visit and we didn’t really get to experience it.
    💫 The one spot I don’t believe is when Rylee has Trey sleep over after he babysits for her last minute, and she says, “But sleep is the only thing that can happen.” Girl, the guy just played princess with your daughter.
    💫 Marcie deserves a whole epilogue in her honor, and she didn’t even appear. This amazing woman is a saint in their lives—she deserves all the love, recognition, and honorary grandma type vibes in an epilogue.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Flirty & Spicy Rom-Com Goodness
    Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024
    There are two things you should know: I used to be a bartender and loved banter with cute customers. And two, Gia Stevens gets Rylee’s internal monologue as the tough but soft bantering bartnder perfect. By the ned of Chapter 2, I was a Rylee fan. And by the end of Chapter 3, I wanted to know more about Trey’s friends - his coupled up buddies and the members of the Single Bro’s Life club. Because the banter in this book isn’t just verbal foreplay between Rylee and Trey, it’s quick and hilarious between everyone, and it swirls around the characters like a tornado of hilarious wit.

    Love Is Ale You Need is a fun and swoony novel that touches on some deep and hard truths about relationships. Rylee is a single mom balancing work, mostly solo-parenting, the contentious relationship with her ex, his disappointing and selfish relationship with their kid, and being a woman in her 20s. Gia Stevens gives us marvelous insight into Rylee’s thoughts with an understanding of the weird and complex world of attraction, protecting one’s heart, and being open to new things. I like Rylee, I identify with many parts of Rylee, I’ve been friends with people just like Rylee. Some of my favorite scenes in the book are scenes that take place at Porter’s, the bar at the center of the story where so many characters gather and work and spar and support each other.

    Trey is fun and flirty, confident and single-minded, a perfect combo for MMC in a romantic comedy. He’s witty and thoughtful and a good foil for Rylee. What I wanted more of, though, was insight into WHY he’s so devoted to being single earlier in the book. We get our answers into his fears and trepidation concerning relationships and parenthood late in the book, and I would have been more sympathetic and understanding of him if I had known his past trauma earlier. As it’s written, I spent much of the book a little bit confused by his motives and thinking Rylee’s initial assumption that he’s just a player are correct. I could have enjoyed him and their growing relationship more and I wouldn’t have thought he was such an immature doofus tool for his devotion to being single.

    Same with Rylee and her relationship with her mother. A little more into that a little sooner would have really made Rylee so much layered and I would have fully loved her. I’m already solidly Team Rylee, but backstory and reasons for both Trey and Rylee’s stances on relationships (both romantic and familial) would have bumped my rating of this book up.

    That said, what a fun romantic comedy that had a little bit of mystery and a lot of spice and a whole cast of characters I can’t wait to see again. While I do not agree with Trey on IPA’s, Love Is Ale You Need is like day drinking in the sunshine without the headache. Fizzy and exciting.

    Gia asked me to read this book for her & I must say I was not disappointed. Trey & Tyler book is about finding love, after bad relationship for both of them. They never expected to find it with each other!!
