His Champagne (The Cocktail Girls) Kindle Edition
I'm Eva Marone, and my father says I'm going to hell.
After Adrian Saylor dumps me at the altar, I ditch my pastor's daughter image and become a sinner.
Sin number one
I quit my job as the church receptionist and move to LA to work as a cocktail waitress, at the Little Black Dress.
Sin number two.
I lose my virginity during a one-night-stand to a hot stranger whose name I don't even know... inside an elevator.
The morning after, I find my sinful moment splashed across the pages of a tabloid magazine, my dirty little secret on display for all the world to see.
As it turns out, my one nightstand is Neal LaClaire. He's not only one of the most eligible bachelors, he comes from one of the wealthiest families in the world.
Being in the spotlight—in a negative way—has never been in my plans, but how can I clean up my image when the press refuses to back off? Every time my face appears in the paper, the stain on my reputation darkens. Until Neal makes me an offer I can't refuse.
*The Cocktail Girls is a shared world between 14 of your favorite romance authors! Each novella is a stand-alone story set in the city of sin. Grab your kindle, a cocktail, and get ready to meet our new swoon-worthy alphas!

- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2018This series is a great intro to a variety of authors. Short stories from each based on female employees at the Little Black Dress club, they're the literary equivalent of a cupcake, a good read without a heavy time investment.
Compared to the others in the series I've read, this has more character backstory that brings them to life and makes the reader root for them to get together. (Spoiler: They do. Hot sex and a HEA included). I would read more from this author.
An example of the writing:
"My eyes holding on to his as though for courage, I release my grasp from his arm and reach behind my head. I slide the hair tie from my hair, letting it pour down my back. As though I’m a completely different person, I reach down and slide my little black dress higher up my thighs. “What if we get caught?” I slide my bottom lip between my teeth.
“We better hurry before that happens.” He’s already rolling the condom on."
- Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2018Dori wrote a sweet and romantic little story. I enjoyed it. It was filled with a lot of emotions from Neal and Eva. This book, to me, was a little different from the previous ones, which I liked. The fact that they both overcame pain and loss and ended up happy together, is worth the read.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2019Great storyline, good beginning, flowed throughout really well, but the ending felt rushed and I felt a bit let down at the end, even though there was a HEA.
An epilogue at the end just may have up my ratings a bit more.
This was my fifth book in this series of the Cocktail Girl's, and Ms Dori Lavelle sit's at number 2 on my favorite read so far.

What a fun quick story to read. A second chance at happiness for them both. Great writing. Look forward to checking out more from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Floved it
I loved this one. Felt a little more realistic and grabbed me from the first chapter.
- Rachael BromleyReviewed in the United Kingdom on June 26, 2018
5.0 out of 5 stars A good read
I loved the characters in this book which made it perfect for the series. We meet Eva who has been left at the Alter by her fiancé whonhas decided to go abroad to work. A coward as he writes her a letter instead of telling her face to face. Neal is still grieving the death of his wife and unborn child who were shot. Everywhere he goes he is reminded of his wife. He sees Eva and they have one explosive night. The trouble starts when their pictures are printed in a tacky magazine and Eva's life goes downhill as she is called a prostitute and her father disowns her. Bad news reaches her as she enjoys Vienna and as she goes home she is ostracized by everyone. Will Neal realise his feelings before it's to late? Will they get a HEA? A great read from start to finish.

4.0 out of 5 stars His Little Black Dress
Eva has been sheltered her whole life affer growing up with a very religious, controlling father. When she broke free, it was scary. Neal on the otherhand has a hard time letting go and accepting fate. What happened next will make you love the LaClaire brothers even more! I cannot wait to read them all!!!
- Charlie ✰WLTBB✰Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 4, 2018
5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it
Dori has done it again with another LaClaire brother to fall for.
This is a quick short read but is very good, the story is about Eva and how she moves away from her small town after being standing at the altar. She goes off in search of a new start to her life even though her father doesn’t want her too. The story is fast paced but I love how you just fall in love with Dori’s words in this book. I was hooked from the start and you can never get enough of these brothers. I can’t really say much without spoilers but if you have read the LaClaire brothers series then you are going to love this novella xx

5.0 out of 5 stars When love 💖 is meant to be it will be forever love 💖
Oh wow, who would have thought that love and heartbreak are like two sides of a coin. Neal and Eva both havento experience one side then the other. Neal has lost his wife and child and Eva being jilted at the altar then being rejected by her pastor father. So unfair. It seems to be fate that Neal and Eva meet but they still have a lot to go through. If anyone deserves happiness in all of this it those two. I would love to have read an epilogue
