This is a terrific book!  The storyline is fresh, modern and engaging.  This is a fast-paced read the flows fluidly from beginning to end.  The author does an excellent job of creating sexy seduction scenes that sizzle with heat.Bakery owner and pastry chef Paige Ellerbee is a smart young woman with a lot of heart.
