Triple Sec: A Novel
A jaded bartender is wooed by a charmingly quirky couple in this fresh and sizzling polyamorous rom-com, set in the glamorous world of high-end cocktail bars—from the acclaimed author of the “tender, decadent, and sparklingly funny” (Lana Harper, New York Times bestselling author) Chef’s Choice.
As a bartender at Terror & Virtue, a swanky New York City cocktail lounge known for its romantic atmosphere and Insta-worthy drinks, Mel has witnessed plenty of disastrous dates. That, coupled with her own romantic life being in shambles, has Mel convinced love doesn’t exist.
Everything changes when Bebe walks into the bar. She’s beautiful, funny, knows her whiskeys—and is happily married to her partner, Kade. Mel’s resigned to forget the whole thing, but Bebe makes her a unique offer: since she and Kade have an open marriage, she’s interested in taking Mel on a date.
What starts as a fun romp turns into a burgeoning relationship, and soon Mel is trying all sorts of things she’d been avoiding, from grand romantic gestures to steamy exploits. Mel even gets the self-confidence to enter a cocktail competition that would make her dream of opening her own bar a reality. In the chaotic whirl of all these new experiences, Mel realizes there might be a spark between her and Kade, too. As Bebe, Kade, and Mel explore their connections, Mel begins to think that real love might be more expansive than she ever thought possible.
With TJ Alexander’s signature “witty and insightful voice, complex characters, and full-throated celebration of the joy of queer community” (Ava Wilder, author of How to Fake It in Hollywood), Triple Sec is a passionate, thirst-quenching love story that will have you asking for another round…or three.

Do you ever wonder how past experiences can potentially hinder your future? Thatâs what Melanie Sorrento (Mel) is experiencing. Working her bartending job, witnessing failed love attempts she avoids any non platonic relationships. Until a beautiful blonde woman comes strolling up to her side of the bar. Mel is thinking she has a possible shot with her (Bebe), until her wife Kade appears.
This story had me getting so frustrated with Mel at times, even though I can relate to her actions. (I think Iâd have felt the same way). This is a story of self discovery and realizing that loving and being loved isnât just a cookie cutter thing. There are always levels to love. I loved that message.
This book has humor, some spice and itâs just overall a good read. Letâs just say there were times when the story line had me kicking my legs and grinning at my screen like a fool. I really enjoyed it.
