Manhattan’s It Girl,
Natalie Grayson, has it all: she’s a hot exec at a leading advertising
firm, known industry-wide for her challenging and edgy campaigns. She’s
got a large circle of friends, a family that loves her dearly, and her
dance card is always full with handsome eligible bachelors. What else
could a modern gal-about-town wish for? The answer, of course,
is...cheese.
Natalie’s favorite part of each week is spending Saturday morning at the Union Square Farmer’s Market, where she indulges her love of all things triple cream. Her favorite booth also indulges her love of all things handsome. Oscar Mendoza, owner of the Bailey Falls Creamery and purveyor of the finest artisanal cheeses the Hudson Valley has to offer, is tall, dark, mysterious, and a bit oblivious. Or so she thinks. But that doesn’t stop Natalie from fantasizing about the size of his, ahem, milk can.
Romance is churning, passion is burning, and something incredible is rising to the top. Could it be...love?
Review
I read this very quickly-like most Alice Clayton books. It was also funny and pretty light and fluffy.
Natalie was a typical Clayton heroine. She is outgoing, confident, and sexual. So, I don't have a lot in common with her, but can still appreciate her. She's also a bigger girl at size 18. That definitely isn't something you see often especially in a sexually-bold woman.
The romance is a very physical one. Maybe too physical. I like sexual chemistry as much as the next person, but I need emotional connections, too. I actually started to skim the sex scenes because they felt so unnecessary. But it was really nice when Natalie and Oscar would have an actual conversation.
As usual with first-person romance I would've liked a look into Oscar's perspective on things.
This series reminds me a lot of Sarina Bowen's True North series. It's definitely more fluffy, but similar. I actually was getting the two settings confused. While I enjoyed them both, I like the Sarina Bowen books more.
Thanks for reading!
