My Thoughts

After being attacked by someone she trusted Lori hasn't opened her heart to anyone let alone gotten close physically. Then Garrett comes into her life by way of her family's business. He is sexy and strong and he pursues her wanting everything from her especially her heart. She lets him in little by little and then takes a leap to begin to heal and she falls for him. The only problem is that she is also very attracted to Eli who also works at her family's business. He makes her feel a bit wild and reckless and she is drawn to him. Garrett sets her free to explore her feelings for Eli and to further her education. What happens next will change everything for all of them.

I can't even tell you how much I loved this book. It caught me by surprise as the synopsis didn't do it justice. Liz wrote a beautiful love story that was filled with passionate moments, heart wrenching moments, and all the others in between. This one made me weep. Seriously full out cried needing about bazillion tissues.
Paradise Hops will be in my Top 10 reads for this year.
It's that good.

I give Paradise Hops 5 hearts!

About the Book


When the ideal man truly loves you…but his polar opposite will not exit your fantasies… 

Garrett Hunter is the dictionary definition of masculine perfection: Handsome, successful, stable, and eager to settle down. He’s just landed his dream job— General manager for Brockton Brewing, one of Michigan’s oldest and most storied craft breweries. 

Elias Buchannan is a craft beer rock star, recently hired to drag Brockton into the 21st century. He brings with him innovation and ego in equal measure. His reputation for a morally casual attitude precedes him but masks a fear of commitment he earned the hard way. 

Lori Brockton realizes she owes it to her father to take her place in the family business.Two years after barely surviving a brutal attack, she struggles with anxiety and self-doubt while working her way through each department, learning everything she can. 

The week before her final assignment—crafting beer alongside Brewmaster Eli—Lori’s carefully constructed world gets upended when Garrett is introduced as the new GM. Confronted by attraction to two very different men, she makes a surprising choice that alters everyone’s lives forever. 

One woman’s grueling quest for independence on the road to recovery places her at a crossroads. A tender love story in the middle of personal chaos nearly ruinedby forbidden physical temptation, Paradise Hops is the ultimate novel of full-circle second chances.

About the Author

Amazon best-selling author, beer blogger and beer marketing expert, mom of three, and soccer fan, Liz Crowe lives Ann Arbor. She has decades of experience in sales and fund raising, plus an eight-year stint as a three-continent, ex-pat trailing spouse. 

Her early forays into the publishing world led to a groundbreaking fiction subgenre, “Romance for Real Life,” which has gained thousands of fans and followers interested less in the “HEA” and more in the “WHA” (“What Happens After?”). More recently she is garnering even more fans across genres with her latest novels, which are more character-driven fiction, while remaining very much “real life.” 

With stories set in the not-so-common worlds of breweries, on the soccer pitch, in successful real estate offices and at times in exotic locales like Istanbul, Turkey, her books are unique and told with a fresh voice. The Liz Crowe backlist has something for any reader seeking complex storylines with humor and complete casts of characters that will delight, frustrate and linger in the imagination long after the book is finished.
