Buns by Alice Clayton is the third book in her hilarious new Hudson Valley series. With the focus on a tight knit group of friends, Roxie (Nuts), Natalie (Cream of the Crop) and now Clara, 
 (Buns), Bailey Falls is one of my new favorite fictional places to be. Told mostly from Clara's POV and can be read as a standalone. 
 Clara Morgan is the friend that renovates, rejuvenates, and refreshes hotels into being the best they can be and her next project is the Bryant Mountain House set up in the mountains just outside Bailey Falls where her two best friends have now moved. 
 Archie Bryant is next in line to take over the family hotel business and isn't as open to all the so-called changes as his father is. Unfortunately for Clara, he gets most of the say in decisions as he will be taking over in the next year. He won't let this city girl into his home to wreak havoc and modernize his heritage. 
 Filled with humor, intensity, a little drama and some great friendship moments this book was a pleasurable read from start to finish. I love Alice Clayton's books and haven't read one yet that I have not adored. With a brief cameo from a character or two from both her 
 Cocktail 
 series and also from her 
 Redhead 
 series this story was just the epitome of awesome. Archie was a buttoned up man with a growl and some alpha tendencies that remained hidden underneath his three-piece suit and pocket square until Clara got under his skin, or pocket-square, so-to-speak. I Loved This! Enjoy!
