BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Out of the frying pan. . .and into the fire!
Desperate to escape the spotlight of her failed marriage to a fellow celebrity-chef, Carly di Matisse left New York City for a tiny town in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The restaurant she’s running these days may not be chic, but in Pine Mountain she can pretend to be the tough cookie everybody knows and loves. Until she finds herself spending too much time with a way-too-hot contractor whose rugged good looks melt her like butter…
Jackson Carter wasn’t looking for love. But he’s not the kind of man to walk away from a worksite—or from a fiery beauty whose passionate nature provides some irresistible on-the-job benefits…
It’s the perfect temporary arrangement for two ravenous commitment-phobes, except that Jackson and Carly keep coming back for seconds… and thirds… and fourths..
REVIEW:
This is the second in the series but it can be read as a stand alone if you have not read the first one. It took a little while to get into this book for me. I had a hard time connecting to Carly for some reason. She was a little off putting in the first book and isn’t in this one so I am not sure why I had the problem but I did. Once I reconciled who she was I was able to enjoy her. Now Jackson I liked right away. He is a sweet guy and his friendship with Shane is adorable. And how could it be more perfect than a man who loves to eat hooking up with a chef? But there is more to them.
I enjoyed the story even if it was a bit cliche’ but then again it is a romance so it is not like I expected something different. It just seems like the whole “he can’t love because his dad was a jerk” is overdone sometimes. Luckily while that is the case in this story it is not the main thing.
This is a great summer read. Sitting on the beach needing an enjoyable read that doesn’t tax the brain but is still fun is perfect for this story.
