The first book in the series was called More Than Meets the Eye.
Abigail is furious the town has decided she can’t own her
own bakery. She has to sell it or find a
man to be on the deed. Abby has no
intention of giving control of her business to any man, so she comes up with
her own plan: find a husband and enter into a business arrangement.
The town doesn’t have many choices, and her preferred choice
initially turns her down. Zach thinks
the thing he wants most is freedom, but he won’t let Abby settle for someone
who won’t be the protector her family needs.
They decide to lay everything out business-like, and that means he wants
to make sure relations are addressed.
Abby isn’t completely on board with the idea, but she’s going to have to
consider it if she wants the arrangement to work.
I loved Zach’s character in the last book, and he doesn’t
disappoint. There’s a bit of suspense
around a woman harassing Abby about something that happened in the past, but
the main “conflict” of the book is them trying to figure out if/when they’ll
have relations. It didn’t bother me
much, but I did long for something more dangerous.
Even with that, I enjoyed this book. I read it in two days because I wanted to see
Zach happy. There’s also a scene with
Eva and Seth, so you get a glimpse of how they’re doing. But you can read these separately without
worrying about missing much.
Eva and Seth were taken care of in the first book and now
Zach is happy. So, unless there’s a
third book that will be about Rosalind (Abby’s sister), I’m not sure this will
be a three-book series. Which ends up
being a bit weird, because that’s what I’m used to these days. Anyway, I’ve enjoyed these two. Good Book!

NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
