Rob was a former jock in a small Wisconsin town, and is now a former professional jock and successful restaurant owner in Chicago.  Elizabeth was the self-conscious, chubby, stuttering A-student he remembered from high school -- except, now she's not.These days she's a successful cookbook writer, and while still self-conscious about her speech, she's grown into a far more interesting woman than Rob expected. And now that they've been thrown together by circumstances (guilted into managing their uncles' ice cream parlor while the two crafty business partners are out of the country) they're finding some things never change, while others bring sweet and sexy surprises.*I'll admit it - I'm a big fan of Marilyn Brant's writing (practically a stalker by now, lol) and she didn't disappoint with this release."On Any Given Sundae" is a (dare I say it?) sweet book about friendship, family, and food - as well as love, limitations, and lust - all delightfully served in a frothy, fun manner. The characters are quirky, believable, and had me laughing out loud and cheering for them all the way.The buildup of the relationship between Rob and Elizabeth was perfectly done - not too slow, not too fast - and (unlike some romances) their misunderstandings were completely understandable.This book left me with a warm, fuzzy feeling - not to mention a growling tummy. "On Any Given Sundae" should come with a warning: May increase appetites for food and sex; don't read while hungry. :)
