Alcohol You Later (Booze & Bad Decisions) Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,602 ratings

They say to never meet your heroes… but what’s the rule on falling in love with them?

Raven Winters has been infatuated with Nicholas Potter since the day she tacked his poster to her bedroom wall. So, when she discovered the famous drummer was her college roommate’s cousin, it seemed the stars had aligned.

Their attraction was instant, and their chemistry explosive. Unfortunately, Nick wasn’t ready to abandon his rock star lifestyle.

Over the years, she’s become his best friend—with benefits—and favorite source of telephonic relief when the groupies backstage weren’t quite what he was looking for. Those late-night drunken calls kept her holding onto hope.

But all that patience is about to pay off—why else would he invite her to join him on tour, if not to finally confess his feelings?

Too bad, the universe has other plans. It looks like drummer boy’s reckless lifestyle has finally caught up to him—
and Raven’s the one stuck toting the diaper bag.

"I'll keep you safe""And I'll keep you wild, pretty girl"Alcohol You Later by Heather M Orgeron was just tears galore. You have your sad and heartbreaking tears, frustrated and angry tears, and happy tears (especially with that ending). Definitely one emotional roller-coaster that will have you swooning. AYL is an easy read standalone with its own HEA, but interconnected with the characters from Pour Judgement.I honestly had a love-hate opinion of Nick, just as Raven did. You honestly want to hate him for being such an ass for the first half of the book and Heather just keeps you guessing when he'll finally redeem himself. When he finally does, Nick is just drool and swoon. Raven definitely put up with him for too long, and totally loved it when she finally put her foot down and made him grovel.All the characters in this book were so well developed you cant just not want to know more about them. I am really hoping Lyle gets his own book. He's really got me me curious and i want to know everything about him.Alcohol You Later is a must read you don't want to miss out on. Definitely recommend to add to your TBR! Cant wait to see what Heather will come up with next.

That get your attention? Good. Because you need this book in your life!

‘Alcohol You Later’ is the story of Nick and Raven and a 100% standalone HEA.
*BUT* we first meet Nick and Raven in ‘Pour Judgement’, Korie and Rhett’s story, so for anyone who likes following interconnected standalones, I do recommend reading that first.
It’s not completely necessary, but Korie and Rhett are prominent secondary characters in Alcohol You Later, so I think having a previous investment in them and their history adds to their appeal as secondary characters in Nick and Ravens story!
——
How cool is it to be best friends with a famous rockstar? Very cool!
Unless you’re in love with said best friend/rockstar.. then it’s a little less cool.

Raven knows it would be detrimental to her heart to make anything more of their ‘best friends with benefits’ status. Yet she can’t help the physical reaction her body has any time she hears Nick’s voice or the way she can feel when his eyes are on her.
She’s not oblivious to the life of a rockstar, therefore she can’t let herself go there…
Because if things were to end badly.. well, Nick had it rough growing up and Raven refuses to be another person to love and leave him.

“Nick?
“Hmm?”
“I’ll keep you safe”
“And I’ll keep you wild, pretty girl.”

Barely 23% into the story and I was already completely in love with Nicholas Potter. He’s infuriating at times.. theres a deep seeded trauma from his past that keeps him from letting people get close. He won’t allow himself to be vulnerable with anyone… except Raven. ♥️
She sees glimpses of Nick’s vulnerability and knows how rare it is, which is why she made a promise to Nick, and herself, to always be his safe space.. a place he can go when everything else gets too hard. Unfortunately, this doesn’t help keep her heart out of play.
——
When conflict enters the story, Nick knows the only person he can turn to is Raven. *BUT*..
Nick is terrified this situation will be the one that finally sends Raven running.. no matter how many times she’s promised she wouldn’t.

Down to its core, this story is truly beautiful. One of the things I love most about HMO’s writing is, while there is clear conflict between our lead male and female, she allows us to enjoy them being together and working towards a solution rather than having the story end as soon as they get their heads on straight and end up together!

‘Alcohol You Later’ has a perfect mix of first love feels, true friendship, and 🔥 bedroom scenes. AND it’s also REALLY funny!! HMO never fails in the humor department 😂.
——
Redemption ♥️. That’s what I felt this story was about and it was beautiful watching these characters find it in each other.

Raven is a way stronger person than I am, I think. Nick is broken, scared, and a mess. The way he handles himself for the 1st 3rd of this story, and Raven's acceptance of it was really difficult to read, and for me to keep reading, because she really seems like a doormat. But. Once she starts valuing herself a bit more, Nick realizes just how he's been behaving, and that's when the story becomes great. "Raven Winters is mine. Mine to kiss. Mine to hold. Mine to protect." The twins are absolutely adorable, minus some toddler explosions, and Ellie Mae makes tears just flow when she delivers her words.
This can be read as a standalone, but, I think, reading Pour Judgement makes it more...

Heather Orgeron creates amazing characters, builds a world that draws you in and just doesn't let go, and then she makes you feel. It's fantastic.
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2024
Tough storyline, but so realistic, moving, and heartwarming. Raven finally showed her ‘girly balls’ and turned an almost tragic family tragedy into a loving HEA. Of course, it took a woman to save the day!
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2022
Man this year is already hitting me with these difficult reviews. I love Mrs. Orgeron’s books, they always bring me a lot of joy to read them and I always look forward to the next one.
Where as I did enjoy this book, it wasn’t my favorite. It held my attention and I didn’t want to put it down, but I did struggle with some aspects of this book. I don’t want to spoil this book to much, or turn people away from reading it, because I did enjoy it. But there were some things that are personal pet peeves of mine that were in it. My main issue was like of a connection to the characters. I liked their story but not them if that makes sense. It reminded me a lot of High School where the guy only likes the girl when it’s convenient for him and he’s lonely, and the poor naïve girl pines after him when he only gives her crumbs. That’s one of my major pet peeves in life and books. So that turned me off a bit.
There were other things, but again no spoilers.
Would I recommend this book to others? Absolutely! I think it’s a good rock star story that people will definitely enjoy.

A 5 Star friends-to-lovers romance with heat and heart!!! I absolutely fell in love with Raven and Nick. An all-time favorite couple. Their emotional journey was both heart-breaking at times yet so beautiful. The author continues to draw me in with her humor and heartfelt love stories.

Raven has felt more for Nick than just friendship for years. She'll take him any way she can get him, even if it's just pieces. It's slowly breaking her, but she is not ready to let go. When Nick asks her to come on tour, she feels like it's finally her chance for them to become more than friends with benefits. However, she could have never prepared herself for what she encounters.

Nick is a good guy. A total mess but no less endearing. He has a good heart but his past leads him to making bad decisions. Our boy will struggle, but he's going to fight to find his way.

This was such a great story. They were friends, but their connection ran deep. They both had feelings invested, but fear of the unknown and the past held them back. Nick will transform from the reckless bad boy we know and still love, into the the man he was meant to be. He'll still be wild but he'll be truly happy.

The author delivered an unforgettable couple with so many special moments, laugh-out loud antics, and I look forward to more of them in future books. I adore this crew and the love they found along the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars a sweet sweet story!

I won’t lie, I wanted to smack raven for the first bit of this book and tell her to grow a damn backbone, but! Reading the whole book it does make sense and feels true for the story. Wrapped up in the end in a nice little package. That last letter though, almost burst into tears being a mama myself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprise toddler twins bring Nick and Raven together
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 23, 2022
First book I've read by Heather Orgeron. Good read, well paced. At first Raven's feelings for Nick looked like they would never be returned.. they were friends with benefits but he was also sleeping with groupies and said he could never commit to a proper relationship. I didn't like Nick at first but he eventually grows as a character when forced to take care of his toddler twins (not Raven's). At first Raven is too much of a pushover and tries to be there for Nick whatever but eventually she pulls back which makes him re-evaluate what life would be like without her. Happy ending and glad the twins grandparents were included!

This was an enjoyable read and a break from the couple of angsty reads I read before this one. Was funny - laugh out loud funny - and had plenty of heat. A nice, easy breezy read.

It was so sweet and emotional. After reading so many romance books, you know the pattern they usually follow but this book was so different and that is what made it one of the best books I have read!
