Nuts (The Hudson Valley Series)

Nuts (The Hudson Valley Series) - Alice Clayton I don't always love Alice Clayton. Sometimes her humor grates on me, sometimes the heroine in the book is irritating. At times, I don't connect to the hero. Sometimes the drama is weirdly manufactured and immature. I liked Wallbanger a lot, but since then I've either been solidly in the eh or no thanks camp. (I think anyway). That's why it took me two years to read Nuts-or however long it's been out.

That was two years too long. It was funny (some cheap humor, some witty), had likable characters, low drama, hot buildup, hotter scenes, you get the idea. It was a sweet book about two people signing up for a fling until they realize it's something more. I loved how it all came together, and most of all, I loved Leo. He was warm, open, funny, patient...And gives good nicknames. Sugar snap. Stop. My heart.

I'm so glad I gave the author another chance after a disappointing couple of books before--and I plan to continue on with this one based on the delightful first book.
