Bounced!
One last pour. One last chance at forever.
Mark Delgado is forty-eight, six-foot-three, and built like the twenty years of lumber he hauled. He can fix anything except his own dating life.
There’s a bathhouse and an uncooperative towel. It goes about how you’d expect.
Mark’s real trouble is, the only man he can’t stop thinking about is the last one he should want.
Dante works the door at Mark’s bar. He reads Russian novels between breaking up fights, owns the world’s most anxious greyhound, and has quietly been the best thing in Mark’s life for two years.
Mark’s the boss. Dante’s the bouncer.
One of them takes care of everybody and doesn’t know how to be taken care of. The other guards every exit and swears he doesn’t need anyone at all.
Neither one is looking for this… and neither one stands a chance.
Funny, swoony, and gloriously low angst, Bounced!, the Barbacks series finale, is a slow-burn, age-gap, opposites-attract love story about a big burly softie, a guarded man with a hidden past, and an anxious dog who adopts them both. No cheating, no third-act breakup, guaranteed HEA.
What readers love about this story:
If you love a found-family romance where the whole bar feels like home, Bounced! delivers in spades. It’s the warm, funny, low-angst comfort read the Barbacks series does best — a slow-burn, age-gap, opposites-attract love story with a boss-and-bouncer setup, plenty of forced proximity, and banter that’ll have you laughing out loud one page and reaching for tissues the next. The tender first times, the hurt/comfort, the golden-hour emotional payoffs — it all builds to a happily-ever-after that feels earned. Readers call it the perfect send-off to the series, and best of all, there’s no cheating, no third-act breakup, and a guaranteed HEA.
