This marriage of convenience is about to get sticky.
Making Whoopie, an all-new fun and flirty marriage of convenience standalone from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas, is available now!
Getting hitched for the health insurance is not Jocelyn Asher’s idea of romance.
But the hospital quote has really frosted her cookies, and suddenly, “I’m rich. We should just get married,” sounds a whole lot more swoony.
Especially when the man proposing is this gorgeous. And takes her to parties featuring champagne and petit fours. She’s a sucker for anything with bubbles or icing. And just like that she finds herself married to a near stranger.
Grant Lorre is usually allergic to spontaneity.
So why did he ask the beautiful small-town baker he had a one-night stand with to marry him? Somehow watching her lick batter off a whisk--not a euphemism--made a wedding and a little fraud seem like a sweet idea.
They’ll just play house and make some whoopie--pies, of course--for a few months and then move on with their separate lives. Until then, bring on the cream filling. And that is a euphemism.
But as things heat up even outside of the kitchen, they quickly realize there’s no recipe to follow when it comes to love.
My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
There are some irrefutable truths in life. The sun rises in the east. The Earth spins on its axis. The moon romances the tides into a dance of ebb and flow. And there are no characters this crafty, clever scribe can pen that I won’t fall nose over toes for. I have kind of a womance (is that a thing? That should totally be a thing!) with her words, or at least a strong infatuation with them. I can’t get enough, and I love each new character more than the last!
My latest deep, abiding fondness is for small-town baker extraordinaire, Josie Asher, and Mr. Large and In Charge, Grant Lorre, whose sole purpose in life seems to be keeping his partners in line. He's also a proponent of women, teaching seminars and empowering them to be fiscally responsible and financially independent. Go, Grant!
Small-town Appleby, IA, is the setting for this delightful, swoony story, featuring two main businesses and a generational Hatfield-McCoy-style feud between the Hot Cakes snack cake factory and the local bakery, Buttered Up. Grant is one of the Hot Cakes' owners and Josie works with her best friend, Zoe, at Buttered Up.
Grant and Josie are my new favorite couple! I love them individually as much as I love them together. They seem like complete opposites, but their differences complement each other and make them a perfect unit. A strong cast of secondary characters, quirky peripheral players and a charming, small-town setting all make for an enticing backdrop for this compelling, entertaining journey to forever.
Sweetly swoony, decadently delicious, and with layer upon layer of poignant heart, this one is an exquisite treat. You'll have a refreshing escape and a delightful experience as these characters own you completely, leaving you with a smile on your face and the happiest of happy sighs in your heart.
