four-stars

Avery Collins has just landed her dream job, pastry chef for the posh-Manhattan restaurant Clover. Her new boss, Trace Montgomery, even helped with securing her an affordable place to live: a beautifully restored carriage house owned by his friend, Rafe McKenzie—a man that makes her catch her breath and stirs her imagination. Trouble is, he's involved with someone, his father is being released after 25 years in prison and Avery is just his tenant. Exploring the attraction that sizzles whenever they're together would be the icing on the cake, but Avery knows all too well that you can't have everything. Of course, what's cake without icing?
Rafe McKenzie's world shattered at nine when his father Liam—the only parent he knew—was arrested and convicted for armed robbery. Growing up in the system, Rafe managed to survive his childhood and now has a job he enjoys, a house he's restoring and a tight circle of friends. He's even working on reconciling with his dad, both eager to put the past in the past.
Happy for the income a tenant would bring, Rafe agrees to rent his carriage house to Clover's new pastry chef. When Avery Collins pulls up his drive, she's not at all what he's expecting. Funny, sexy and as sweet as her desserts, it doesn't take long for things between them to heat up. Just when it seems as if they'll have their cake and eat it too, the past comes back with deadly intent leaving Rafe to figure out who's pulling the strings before his world shatters again.

review

After landing her dream job, Avery was excited about this new path that she was to embark on. She never expected Rafe McKenzie, her new landlord. Rafe didn’t know what hit him when Avery pulled up to his driveway. With her witty personality and delicious desserts, he got way more than he bargained for when Clover’s new pastry chef moved into his home.

This was an all around hilarious read. I love quirky heroines and Avery took that term to a whole new level. There was so much about her that reminded me, not only of myself but of my friends which made me love her even more. L.A. Fiore couldn’t have created a more realistic heroine. And don’t get me started on Rafe. The man is as close to perfect as you can get. No, he didn’t have an ideal upbringing but I admire the way that he overcame it and forgave when he could have easily turned his back on his past. Yet even with the more serious parts, L.A. Fiore knew exactly how to pick her readers back up with all the witty moments. I couldn’t get enough of Avery and Rafe. I really enjoyed this book from start to finish.
