***5 Stars***
This was a quick, funny, sweet, slow burn and hunger inducing read, but also had me pouting a little at the end since it may be a while until we get to hang out again in White Peak (crossing toes that a certain secondary character will get a book, so we can return). But, all in all, this was a fun read.
I adored Piper and Mav. Piper is driven, snarky and honest. She knows what she wants and is open about what she can and cannot handle in any given situation. Mav is observant, charming and sweet. Their journey to their HEA was a fun one. There is minimal drama, at least between them, and it made watching as they became friends and more highly enjoyable. Their bantering was on point and while there isn’t much smexy time in this one, the chemistry between them was undeniable and I really liked how things worked out for them in the end.
As always, I love getting to spend time in White Peak. The smalltown feel combined with the unique cast of characters that reside there always put a smile on my face. This appears to be the end of our time here, but there are still a few singletons running around, along with the ducks and chickens, so hopefully we’ll get to head back there one day.

Blind dating: the act in which you date a stranger and hope it’s not the kid you once babysat. And try not to freak out when it’s your one-night stand from two weeks ago.
As the last woman standing, I, Piper Carter, am officially a loner.
Apparently, that means it’s time for me to get out there and find myself a man. My protestations that I have no time for it falls on deaf ears and the next thing I know, I’m on a blind date with someone my best friends assure me will be perfect for me.
Maverick Donovan, the guy I, uh, know very, very well…
After one conversation that makes my disdain for this setup very clear, the superstar playboy author asks me for only one thing: my help with his research for his next novel.
Turns out, the heroine in his next hot romance is the owner of a bakery, but all his ill-fated efforts are baking is the batteries in his fire alarm.
I agree. I’ll create some recipes for his leading lady, and he’ll credit me and my store, giving me the recognition I need to help me on my way to franchising.
If only we didn’t have to spend almost every free waking moment together to make it happen.
I don’t want to give my heart to the guy with a trail of broken ones behind him, but there’s a fundamental problem with that plan.
I’m pretty sure I’m doing just that…
