This week I’m waiting on…….

Buns by Alice Clayton

Publication: May 23rd 2017

Publisher: Gallery Books

Series: Hudson Valley #3

Genres: Adult Romance, Contemporary

Clara Morgan is living the dream, if you can call rebranding hotels that are desperate for a new life and running any kind of marathon a dream. Which she does. But the career she loves and the endurance races that keep her adrenaline pumping have kept her too busy to put down any roots. Growing up in foster care, she’s never been able to establish traditions of her own, which may be why she’s fascinated by the rituals that generations-old family resorts are known for. She’s especially interested in the Bryant Mountain House, and not just for their secret recipe for the yummy, gooey, can’t-get-enough-of Hot Cross Buns….

Archie Bryant, the man with the Buns, is fifth generation and one-day-owner of the charming yet run-down Bryant Mountain House in Bailey Falls, New York. He’s determined to save his family’s legacy from the wrecking ball the old-fashioned way—by gritting his teeth and doing what needs to be done. There’s no way Archie will be influenced by the new hotel branding expert his father brought in to turn one hundred and fifty years of tradition on its head just to attract a faster, younger, slicker crowd. But when some of Clara’s ideas start bringing in new, paying customers, Archie can’t deny that she may have just given him a shot at keeping his resort open.

It’s sticky, it’s messy, it’s sweet, it’s Buns.

Why am I waiting?

I adore this series! Okay, so Nuts has been my favorite, so far, but Cream was a good read too. I’m ready for Clara and Archie to meet. I find the titles and covers for this series hilarious. If anyone can bring me out of a book slump, it would be Clayton. She adds just the right amount of humor and romance, that will keep you turning the pages. Will Clara and Archie be my new favorite couple? I don’t think I’ll love them more than Roxie and Leo, but we shall see. Have you started this series? What book are you waiting on this week?

Other books in this series….
