This is a fabulous romance with witty dialogue and a fun cast of characters... Most importantly, it made me want to read the rest of the series.
I was pleasantly surprised by this book and all it had to offer.
The entire book is told from Cade's POV. He is the youngest of five children, and the only boy. His relationship with his older sisters was a joy to watch - their lovable banter and antics were a fabulous addition to this story.
Cade starts off as your classic man-whore character. Scarred by a past relationship, he shuns emotional commitment in favor of regular sexual encounters with a list of women. Literally. He keeps a list.
He is a brilliant businessman who already has a few successful ventures, even though he is still studying for his MBA. The newest project: Staring an Event Planning company with his sisters called Invitation Only. There are two important rules in this new company - they don't do weddings, and Cade has to keep it in his pants. Now they just need to find the perfect baker...
Enter Hanna, who is an amazingly talented artist. She's exactly the kind of baker needed to compliment their trendy new company. Unfortunately, the "No Weddings" rule might be a deal breaker for a woman who makes beautiful cakes for a living. She's playing hardball, and Cade suddenly becomes responsible for getting her to sign on the dotted line...
Hannah is also guarding her heart, a devastating betrayal left her hiding behind emotional walls and a frosty demeanor. She's been focused on opening her bakery (called Sweet Dreams) where she creates artistic confections with ease, but could really use some help on the business end of things...
Enter Cade, who is offering her an exclusive contract with Invitation Only, and lessons in marketing for her growing business. Their strategy sessions lead to a warm friendship, and a hard-to-ignore sexual attraction.
I really felt the love growing between these two...
There's something to be said for a romance where the main characters believably fall in love before falling into bed... I know that's probably some sort of sacrilege, and I love book sex as much as the next chick... But seriously.
Sex will always be more vibrant when honest emotion is involved.
All too often characters will have a wild sexy night and the rest of the book winds up being about the guy proving that he's not a player anymore... you can practically hear the thought process: "Hey, this is a really awesome vagina, I think I'll stay here"
That's not what I found in the pages of this book. The friendship and sexual chemistry led to some serious UST, but it also made me believe that these two are perfect for each other.
Lust,
flirting,
laughter,
dirty talk,
friendship,
confessions,
& respect...
Respect but not worship - There is a difference. Cade respects Hannah as a friend and business partner; he doesn't place her on a pedestal of perfection. Both characters are human: flawed and broken, but not irreparably so. Neither believes that they are unworthy or incapable of love or anything ridiculous like that. They just need to take the time to find the path together...
I can't wait to continue the series and see how these crazy kids balance their blossoming romance as well as their growing business!
