Sip Happens: A Novella (Love At All Cost Book 5) Kindle Edition
Love at first sight is only found in romance books… Right?
A hot Scottish archeologist walks into a curator’s office—sounds like the set up for a bad joke. Yet, here I am, face-to-face with the flirtatious and ruggedly handsome, Dr. Cameron Jackson, delivering items to catalog and display for the museum.
Falling prey to his charms should be the least of my worries. Except I want to give in, let him chase me.
Since I am working on his brother’s upcoming excavation, spending time with him is a terrible idea. The last thing I should do is sleep with him, but I can’t deny the instant connection we share, or how I desperately want more than either of us can offer.
What could go wrong if we had one night… or maybe two?
Sip Happens is a deliciously spicy supplemental novella, best read after or in tandem with Unexpectedly Ruined. It contains major spoilers for the Love At All Cost and Top Shelf Romances series.

*Sip Happens is a sequel novella, best read after Unexpectedly Ruined. It contains major spoilers for the Love At All Cost and Top Shelf Romances series. Would also recommend reading the content warnings and author notes prior to reading
- Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2024Quick easy read. You do want to read the books in the Love At All Cost series prior to this one. There is mention of those characters and connections with the our main characters. There are also spoilers for Unexpectedly Ruined, so that one needs to be read prior to this one as well.
Lizzy is working at a Museum. Dr Cam Jackson is delivering items to the establishment causing the two to cross paths. He is immediately attracted to her and finds a way to get her alone. From there it's instalove and their romance takes off. But they knew it would be limited. What they both didn't expect was to fall in love. Lizzy has plans to finish school and Cam has to return to his home in Scotland. Not before making an agreement with one another.
This is a golden retriever, he falls first, rom com. The banter between them makes the read even more enjoyable. I highly recommend it. And the spicy scenes...yes please!
Highly Recommend. Happy Reading Ya'll!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024This is the last book in the Love at All Cost series, but it also ties in with the Top Shelf Romance series. It does contain spoilers, but Lizzie and Cameron’s story is great all on its own.
Each of them had preconceived notions of the other that were quickly smashed when they met. They were instantly attracted to other, and I love that Lizzie that no filter when it came to expressing her thoughts about Cameron. He also knew right away that he wanted her and didn’t want their time together to end. Again, they weren’t complete strangers as they know each other’s friends and family. But their chemistry was great from the beginning.
This is a quick read, and has some amazing spicy scenes, as Irene is known for. Cameron is a man obsessed with his woman and her pleasure, and I always love that! Also, sweet, caring and a total gentleman. Lizzie was very independent and I liked that Cameron gave her space to achieve her dreams. These two were delightful together.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2024I love a good chase, and this book has me wanting to play chase in the dinosaur exhibition the next time I visit a museum.
Forget what I said about all the other men of this series, Cam is the yummiest! Cameron and Lizzy had an instant connection that they explored during a two-night stand, and it was so freaking explosive. Unlike the other couples in the series, Cam and Lizzy had a brief star-crossed lovers moment that had me feeling so heartbroken, but I love the little game that they developed during this time and how it comes into play near the end.
This book should not be read as a stand alone, since a chunk of Cam and Lizzy's story happens during the events of Unexpectedly Ruined, and it is not included in this novella.
This was a really good ending to the Love At All Cost series, and I'm looking forward to reading about the rest of the crew in the Top Shelf Romances series

- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2024🌟 ARC REVIEW 🌟 - Thank you to both @irenebahrdauthor and @happilybookedpr
I was SO EXCITED to find out that I received an ARC copy of Sip Happens the spicy 🔥 novella set in the same world as Unexpectedly Ruined.
Unexpectedly Ruined was SUCH a great quick romcom read, so of course, I was ready to dive back into this world and another of Irene Bahrd’s books.
I DEVOURED this book in one sitting. Before reading, I was in the mood for a little palette cleanser (a breather from all of the fantasy I typically read) and this did not disappoint! Lizzy and Cameron are THE cutest. Instalove? ✔️ Age gap? ✔️He falls first? ✔️ Spice? ✔️✔️
If you like any of those tropes, I 100% recommend this series. BUT, make sure to read Unexpectedly Ruined first!

- Em the book lover!Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 31, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars I loved Lizzy and Cam’s story!
I adored this novella - I love Irene’s writing, she always draws you in immediately and her characters are super relatable. I pretty much am rooting for both the MC’s from the first one and this one was no different!! I also loved that we get to see some of the characters from other books - especially Harriet, I loved her sweet novella last year.
Lizzy is a museum curator with BIG dreams, she wants to dominate the Natural History Museum… she doesn’t count on meeting the gorgeous, wonderful and smooth talking Cam. A Scottish archeologist, who dropping off some Celtic crosses from a dig (please read Unexpectedly Ruined!!!!). He is sinful, dirty-mouthed and willing to give her anything she wants… I freaking LOVE him!!!! Each MMC of Irene’s I meet I say is my fave, until the next one 😂😂. Cam and Jack are tied first place at the moment!! Both remind me of Scottish Indiana Jones’, and both are sinfully gorgeous!!
These two have AMAZING chemistry, their banter is top notch and they’re so well matched (but there’s also angst!! And you know I love that in Rom-coms!!)
This fast paced novella is fantastic, smütty and perfect for a light read!! Go go go get it NOW!!
