Sometimes you gotta toss your whole life into a burning dumpster to find what’s most important...
Beatrice Archer has always done everything she’s supposed to —worked her ass off, ignored her non-existent personal life, and kept her mouth shut. Now she’s over it. The rat race, respectability…the underwire bras. She’s taking her life back. Starting with moving to Nowhere, Colorado to live life on her own terms.
Now Bea gives exactly zero forks. Beer for breakfast. Sugar for everything else. Baggy sweats and soft cotton undies FTW. Then a much younger and delightfully attractive cop is called to deal with her flagrant disregard for appropriate clothing outside the local diner (some folks just don’t appreciate bunny slippers) and Bea realizes there’s something missing from her little decathlon of decadence…and he might be the guy to help her out.
When it comes to breaking rules, Officer Austin Cooper is surprisingly eager to assist. He’s charming, a little bit cowboy, and a whole lot sexy. But Bea’s about to discover that breaking the rules has consequences. And all of the cherry pies in Colorado can’t save her from what’s coming…
Omg! I absolutely loved this story. My entire body was one giant throb as all my senses flicked on like switches, humming in anticipation. Drooling, pulse pounding, giggling, sighing, swallowing, and laughing out loud as I ate up every word in Amy Andrews steamy descriptions. The heat between these two main characters was sizzling and I had to close my eyes at times from melting into a puddle. And oh my, I will never look at pie the same again! This younger man/ older woman trope grabbed me from the start!! So full of fun, wit and sizzle in this fantastic laugh-out-loud romantic comedy.
Beatrice Archer is 35 years old and has just quit her LA job as an advertising executive after she was once again overlooked for a promotion to a less qualified man. Tired of playing it by the book, working long hours, having no life and dealing with her family’s expectations, she decides to throw a dart at a map and moves to Credence Colorado. She had come to Credence to be a different kind of Beatrice. To break all the rules that have been holding her back from living her best life. After holding up for two long weeks binging Netflix and eating carbs in her room, she decides to make a run to the local diner wearing her bunny slippers, her new day of the week underwear and sweats. And that is when she meets him Austin Cooper.
“Speaking of a hunger that had been building from the moment he’d ma’amed her and bloomed with every smile, every piece of pie, every Beatriss. And in that instant she knew that just touching him was never going to be enough.”
Austin Cooper is a 25 year old policeman happy with his life in his hometown of Credence living on a ranch and being on the police force. He’s charming, a little bit cowboy, and a whole lot sexy. The sparks fly between them and he is all in. Her laughter and company seep into his heart and his soul. Their relationship is full of witty banter, friendship, pie and sizzling, spicy times. But although Austin is all in, Beatrice is still skittish about the age gap romance, her uncertain future and about her place in the world.
Will Bea realize what she has before it is too late? Or will she give it all up for success? You will need to read to get all sizzling details. And believe me you Do Not want to miss this one!!!!
I voluntarily requested an early copy and this is my honest review.
