I'm always in for a good time whenever I read one of Alice's books. While I didn't quite love this as much as her Wallbanger series, it was still an all around good read. I love that Clayton mixes humor and romance so well and she's also able to tell a decent story that revolves around the main character, outside of the romance. I really enjoyed getting to know Roxie and I admired her personality. 
 Roxie is one of those girls who comes from a small town and has big dreams. She's a talented chef and she never wanted to be tied down and stuck living the life her mother has. Her mom is a bit of a flake and I didn't care for her much, but she's not bad. She felt more like a kooky friend to Roxie than a mother, really. In any case, I really liked Roxie. She's very motivated and she knows her worth. Despite it being obvious that being back in town is exactly what she needed, I liked the slow build of her rediscovering her passion and realizing where she belongs. 
 I liked the romance between Roxie and Leo. It was a steady kind of relationship, very slow-build as far as Contemporary Romance goes. There are plenty of hilarious moments strung in there, that's for sure, but I also liked the mutual respect and intense attraction these two had for each other. There is one aspect that I didn't care for, or rather, I didn't like how it was handled. I'm beginning to think I'm just being picky about this topic/plot tool, but maybe that comes with the territory of reading so many books, especially in a particular genre. Aside from that issue, watching them fall in love was great. 
 All of the characters were fun to get to know and I'm already a fan of Clayton's writing, so it's safe to say that I'll be sticking around for the rest of the series. You can always expect a well-rounded book from her, one that will keep you engaged and entertained from start to finish.
