ABOUT


This marriage of convenience is about to get sticky. Getting hitched for the health insurance is not Jocelyn Asher’s idea of romance.
But the hospital quote has really frosted her cookies, and suddenly, “I’m rich. We should just get married,” sounds a whole lot more swoony.
Especially when the man proposing is this gorgeous. And takes her to parties featuring champagne and petit fours. She’s a sucker for anything with bubbles or icing. And just like that she finds herself married to a near stranger.
Grant Lorre is usually allergic to spontaneity.
So why did he ask the beautiful small-town baker he had a one-night stand with to marry him? Somehow watching her lick batter off a whisk--not a euphemism--made a wedding and a little fraud seem like a sweet idea.
They’ll just play house and make some whoopie--pies, of course--for a few months and then move on with their separate lives. Until then, bring on the cream filling. And that is a euphemism.
But as things heat up even outside of the kitchen, they quickly realize there’s no recipe to follow when it comes to love.

Excerpt


No one fell in love over cheesy potatoes. That was ridiculous. There was nothing sexy about cheesy potatoes. Or potatoes without cheese, for that matter. But lust? Well, that was a possibility. Apparently. Because watching Grant Lorre eat cheesy potatoes across her best friend’s mother’s dining room table was making Jocelyn Asher hot. Of course, Maggie McCaffery’s cheesy potatoes were award-winning. Seriously. She’d taken home the purple ribbon four times from the Dubuque County Fair and twice from the Iowa State Fair. And Grant seemed to agree that they were delicious. He’d made a sexy groaning sound when he’d first taken a bite, and Josie had been mesmerized as his lips closed around the tines of his fork. Never mind how her heart rate had picked up when he’d turned the fork and licked it. She was a mess. Purple ribbon or not, Josie was pretty sure that getting worked up over watching a man eat potatoes meant she was hard up. She took a long drink of iced tea and tried to remember the last time she’d had sex. If she wasn’t forgetting anyone—and how sad would that be—the last time had been with Ben Davis. After Kara Davis’s, now Tibbin’s, wedding. Last week Kara had been into Buttered Up, the bakery where Josie worked with her best friend Zoe, to order a miniature version of her wedding cake to celebrate their first anniversary. Josie sighed. That had to explain the sexy potato thing going on across the table. It had to. But then Grant laughed at something Aiden, his best friend and Zoe’s fiancรฉ—yes, it was one big happy group at this table—said, and Josie felt her neglected lady parts clench. Yeah, it wasn’t the potatoes. Thankfully. Kind of. As weird as getting turned on by potatoes might be, it might have been preferable to being turned on by the man who had been coming into the bakery nearly every morning for the past two weeks, but hadn’t so much as asked her to have a cup of coffee with him. He’d asked her if the blueberries in the muffins were locally sourced. He’d asked her if they had any gluten-free cinnamon scones. He’d asked her for a lemon slice for his cup of hot water. But that was pretty much the extent of the things he’d asked her over the course of the time they’d known each other. Oh, and he’d caught her when she’d fallen off a ladder. Twice. Very gallantly. He’d swept her up before she’d hit the floor. Like a freaking knight in shining armor. But both times he’d simply set her on her feet and gone on with his day. She, on the other hand, was now getting hot and bothered by side dishes.

This is book three in the series and I enjoyed the first two books but this one made me fall in LOVE with this series. I loved Grant and I loved Josie. They were both awesome characters but I also adored how they were with each other as well. This story uses a grumpy businessman trop but also a fake marriage turning real and it worked really well.

Josie is a hometown girl and she works at the bakery. This one is more centered on the bakery than on the cake factory and I really liked that about it. She works hard and she has a major crush on Grant but he is grumpy and serious and he doesn’t see how she is crushing on him. I loved how Josie just straight up tells him that. They have a fling I guess you can say, until it becomes necessary to marry, and I am not spoiling the why.

Thats when the magic happens. We see how Grant lets Josie in and she lets him in as well. I adored this couple and one reason was how they let each other in to their hearts and minds. They do not have secrets from each other and they really have a very trusting relationship.

I cannot wait for the net story in this series, Cam and Whitney. We get a sneak peak at their relationship and story and it looks fabulous
