Description
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!
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?

        Starred review from July 1, 2016

        Natalie Grayson is a larger-than-life twentysomething Manhattanite enjoying sex and success in Clayton's newest addition to the "Hudson Valley" series (Nuts). After years of attempting to hide her size and personality, Natalie has vowed as an adult never to be that girl again. She can, and often does, seduce any man she wants to but hits a roadblock with beautiful dairy farmer Oscar Mendoza, relegating their weekly interaction to a brief exchange at the farmers market. When a job opportunity lands her in Oscar's town of Bailey Falls, the two finally give in to burning temptation. Will Natalie switch gears from the New York City fast lane for the quiet country life with her new man, or will past baggage keep them at a distance? A humorous cast of Natalie's supportive family and friends round out this sweet, sexy novel. Clayton's playful writing style blends silliness with apt observations regarding modern life, love, and self-confidence. Plus-size protagonist Natalie embraces her curves with self-assurance, marking a refreshing change from erotica wherein most female leads fit the same mold (and dress size). VERDICT A titillating story with plenty of happy endings. Recommended for fans of Clayton's previous works (the "Cocktail" and "Redhead" series) and readers seeking erotica with lots of heart.
