"Gimme Some Sugar" by Kimberly Kincaid....

Book Description...

"Desperate to escape the spotlight of her failed marriage to a fellow celebrity-chef, Carly di Matisse left New York City for a tiny town in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The restaurant she's running these days may not be chic, but in Pine Mountain she can pretend to be the tough cookie everybody knows and loves. Until she finds herself spending too much time with a way-too-hot contractor whose rugged good looks melt her like butter...

Jackson Carter wasn't looking for love. But he's not the kind of man to walk away from a worksite—or from a fiery beauty whose passionate nature provides some irresistible on-the-job benefits...

It's the perfect temporary arrangement for two ravenous commitment-phobes, except that Jackson and Carly keep coming back for seconds... and thirds... and fourths..."

What I enjoyed from this read....

This heroine Carly was just out of a bad marriage leaving New York City and was trying to start her new life in Pine Mountain where she was a celebrity chef (La Dolce Vita) at the Blue Ridge Mountain Resort in Pennsylvania. Will Carly be able to get her on with her life in her new place with the help from Jackson?

I found this novel quite interesting how this author brings these two(Carly and Jackson) together. As a matter of fact it was humorously done throughout the read and I don't want to leave out the hot steamy chemistry that they seemed to have with each other. However, with Carly just coming out of a bad marriage and Jackson being one that doesn't do love. What will come of all of this? Now, I know you are wondering what is going on with Jackson who was a hot local contractor? Will this author be able to get these two together who just seemed to be perfect for each other by keeping it simple. Will there be some reluctance to commit to each other? Here is where I say you must pick up "Gimme Some Sugar" to find out. Be ready to have some family drama thrown into the mix, a protective chef, humor, big brothers, romance, Jackson's mothers to name a few found in this well written script and in the end after all is said and done I believe the reader will be given a excellent read. I don't want to leave out the beautiful descriptions of this rural town with all the food and recipes along with some very interesting secondary characters who played a large part also in this novel. You will be definitely made to feel as though you are right there in beautiful Pine Mountain.

What I also liked about this novel...

I found "Gimme Some Sugar" a very attentive, humorous, beautiful and heartfelt read that once you start reading you will not want to put it down because you will become hooked turning the pages to see what will be happening next. This novel is the second in the Pine Mountain series that is a good charming read which can be a stand alone read. So, if you are looking for a enjoyable romance read I would recommend "Gimme Some Sugar." ( )
