The Tap That series by Erin McCarthy is a contemporary romance series set in and around a bar scene. The four books follow different couples whose paths cross through nightlife, late shifts, and the kind of charged encounters that happen when the drinks are flowing and the music is loud.
The “Strip” titles (Stripped Down, Strip Search, Strip Tease, Strip Away) hint at the series’ playful, flirty tone. McCarthy keeps the heat level high while giving each couple a distinct dynamic and enough emotional depth to make the romances stick. The bar setting provides a natural social hub where characters can meet, clash, and fall for each other.
Published between 2018 and 2021, the Tap That series is a solid pick for readers who enjoy steamy contemporary romance with a fun setting and couples who have great chemistry from the first page.
