Sara Havens is The Bar Belle for LEO Weekly and writes about everything from the Louisville, Ky., nightlife and hangover cures to the latest in bars, cocktails and watered-down American swill. A personality-driven column that runs every other week in LEO, The Bar Belle was created in 2006, which is, ironically, the year Sara's mother stopped reading the paper. The Bar Belle was named Best Column (for a circulation under 50,000) at the 2011 AltWeekly Awards. This book features 100 of her best columns from 2006-2010.

"The Bar Belle" was released in late 2011 and included the infamous columns from 2006-2010. A Volume 2 has been in the works ever since, and this book completes the Bar Belle's time at LEO Weekly. It includes her columns from 2011-2014. While she's embarking on bigger and better endeavors and maintains her own independent blog (barbelleblog.com), this collection shows us more of her humble beginnings as the leading lady of Louisville's nightlife. The Bar Belle tackles everything from sweet Kentucky bourbon to Derby Dos and Don'ts to hangover cures to Santa Claus. If you've ever enjoyed a drink in a bar, you will find her stories humorous and highly relatable.

When Brandon walks into his favorite brewery in small town Montana, he is shocked and intrigued with the beautiful new bartender. Kate can pour a pint of beer to perfection, smiles warmly at everyone, looks at the door every time the newly mounted bell rings, and recoils from Brandon's handshake. Brandon is desperate to get to know Kate more, and purposely finds reasons to pop into the brewery and engage in small talk with her. As the two get to know each other better, it becomes blatantly obvious Kate has a secret she isn't sharing. Scared someone will tell him before she can, Brandon hears all about her past and her mentally unstable ex-husband Ethan who is still at large. Brandon becomes dedicated to being the one to put Kate back together in the hopes that they can have a life together. But when Ethan comes back to Town and demands she come with him, Kate has to confront her fears to save the man she loves.
