New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Alice Clayton brings her trademark blend of funny and sexy to this second contemporary romance in the brand-new Hudson Valley series!
Manhattanβs It Girl, Natalie Grayson, has it all: sheβs a hot exec at a leading advertising firm, known industry-wide for her challenging and edgy campaigns. Sheβs 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.
Natalieβs favorite part of each week is spending Saturday morning at the Union Square Farmerβs 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 doesnβt 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?

What a fantastic read! From the witty banter and laugh out loud moments, to the amazing characters, this was a sweet romance that made my heart flutter as I eagerly flipped through the pages! I couldnβt put this one down!
Natalie Grayson is a FAB-U-LOUS heroine! I loved this girl. Sheβs confident, self aware, brave, strong and totally had it going on. She took what could have been a devastating moment in her life and turned it to her advantage, finding her inner goddess and seizing it. She might have floundered for a moment in time but she came out the other end of it with a solid grip on who she was and how important her self worth was. I loved her boldness, her outgoing, carefree nature, her fierce determination and her passion.
Oscar βThe Grouchβ Mendoza is a stunning dairy farmer who has outstanding cheese! Ok, that sounds a little lame but he totally wasnβt. I enjoyed his character quite a bit. This author gives him real substance and life and the chemistry between Oscar and Natalie was amazing! I will say that though I liked Oscar, I was also a little frustrated with him on occasion because at times, he felt a little too aloof. I enjoyed his brooding and moody one word conversations but he was definitely a tough character to get a beat on. It didnβt distracted from his sexy-sweet side but there were times I wanted βmoreβ feeling from him.
This was a fun, exciting, sexy story filled with good humor and a tiny bit of angsts. And cows! And cheese!
A perfect weekend read!
