Perfection takes time, but desire waits for no man. Or woman...

Pecan Creek, Book 1

With more than one skeleton rattling in her closet, Sugar Cassevechia hopes "The Most Honest Town in Texas" will be the perfect place to start an online business. As soon as her mother remembers the family recipe that'll get hotterthanhellnuts.com off the ground.

In the meantime, no way is Sugar letting their new landlord get away with renting them a run-down house that's decorated like a rich widow's orgasm. Even if he's the biggest hunk of hot she's ever laid eyes on.

Jake Bentley would love to do nothing but sit back and be amused as the Cassevechia women unwittingly stir up trouble in his uptight town. But something about them thaws out his frozen rescue complex. Especially Sugar's long, chestnut hair and sassy mouth.

Right about the time Sugar figures one steamy night in Jake's bed won't hurt, another skeleton joins the party in the form of a dead body in the "Belle Watling" room. And Sugar must decide if her family's reputation—and her own heart—are safe with Jake.

Warning: No sex in this book. Nope. None. Nada. Honest. Now, if you believe that, the author has an iceberg in Texas to sell you. Better hurry before there's none left to cool the fevered dreams generated by this book.

      A sister who just got dishonorably discharged from the military, a mother recovering from breast cancer, and a divorce of her own make Sugar realize that the Cassevechia women need a new start. Sugar finds a house and pecan orchard online for rent, packs up her family, and leaves Florida for Texas. What Sugar doesn't plan for, though, is Jake Bentley. VERDICT Although the story and the characters take a while to get moving and some plotlines don't seem to follow through, Sugar is a heroine for today's romance reader: a strong woman who remains true to herself.
