| Daisy Porter, owner of Daisy’s Down Home Delights, was mad. She was more than mad—she was furious! When she opened her bakery, there were flyers all over not only her business, but the entire town. They advertised Sam’s Smooth Sliding Ale and Mr. Sam Howard was responsible. How did he dare to plaster those fliers all over the entire town without approval? When a stranger came into her shop and began talking to her and tasting her baking, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out just who he was. She had absolutely no desire to get to know him better.
Sam Howard could not seem to break down the barrier Daisy constructed. No matter how he tried, she threw another roadblock into his path. He sensed that she had problems to deal with, but so did he. He saw no reason they couldn’t get along and maybe become close friends. The only difficulty he saw was put there by her. Ms. Abbey MacInnis has written a great book about a couple of people who, though single, were not close to becoming a couple, not even friends. She took the best, and worst, of the individuals and wove them into a fragile couple. The more they interacted, the more this reader could see their situations were delicate. MacInnis seemed able to excel in her depiction of the possible connection between the two main characters. Her supporting cast was so important and, although there were surprises concerning some of them, they made the storyline even more dimensional. The journey through the problems toward a happily-ever-after was an exceptional trip that I was thrilled to be allowed to take. The sexual scenes were well written and gave sensuality a new meaning. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a little (unexpected) violence as well as a beautiful love story.
