Cat's Review of Christmas Rekindled (Bangers Tavern Romance) by Sadira Stone @SadiraStone @TTCBooksandmore

Bartender River Lundqvist has a damn good reason for hating Christmas. Bangers Tavern is the perfect place to lay low over the holidays—until Charlie walks in. His first encounter with the saucy server nine years ago was utter humiliation. Her reappearance stirs up powerful desires and hopes for a new start. But the timing is all wrong.

Back in Tacoma to care for her estranged dad over the holidays, freelance web designer Charlie Khoury braces herself for the suckiest Christmas ever. A temporary job at Bangers Tavern gives her a chance to escape Dad’s criticism and blow off some steam. But why does the hunky bartender seem to hate her?

A pretend girlfriend is just what River needs to keep his family off his back—until a kiss under the mistletoe flares hot enough to melt the North Pole. When greedy developers threaten Bangers Tavern, River and Charlie must team up to save it. Their sizzling chemistry feels like the real thing—but everyone knows rebound relationships don’t last.

Come to Bangers Tavern for an enemies-to-lovers tale of reconciliation, found family, holiday cocktails, and the sexiest Christmas miracle ever.

Charley isn’t happy about having to come back and help her sister take care of her dad after he injures himself but  Her sister is a nurse and her work is portable so she can work from her computer anywhere. She is disappointed she is missing Christmas with her friends on a skiing trip.

She goes out one day to her old haunts and stops in Bangers the bar she worked in while in college and talked to Dawn her old boss. Dawn was in desperate need of a head waitress, so Charlie took the job to give her a bit of time away from her dad. The Bartender is gorgeous, but he seems to hate her.

I loved both Charlie and River, especially River but who wouldn’t. He is hot, sweet, and did I say hot?

The storyline is good. There a couple plots, Charley and her family, River and his, why Charlie and River seem to have issues then there is town issue with the city beautification trying to run out the old shops and businesses and replacing them with high end.

The book is charming, fun, and sexy and keeps you reading from the beginning. It is a  great holiday story for anytime of the year and I am ready for the next Banger’s book.



Ever since her first kiss, Sadira's been spinning steamy tales in her head. But it wasn't until 2017 that she tried her hand at writing one. Now she's a happy citizen of Romancelandia, penning contemporary romance and cozy mysteries from her home in Washington State. When not writing, which is seldom, she explores the Pacific Northwest with her charming husband, enjoys the local music scene, belly dances, plays guitar badly, and gobbles all the books.
