From New York Times bestselling author Alice Clayton, the first in a brand-new romance series telling the humorously sexy tale of Roxie, a private chef who gets a taste of love—but is it to stay, or to go?

After losing almost all of her clients in one fell swoop following an accident involving whipped cream, private chef to Hollywood’s elite Roxie Callahan gets a call from her flighty mother, saying she’s needed home in upstate New York to run the family diner. Once she's back in the Hudson Valley, local organic farmer Leo delivers Roxie a lovely bunch of walnuts, and soon sparks—and clothing—begin to fly. Leo believes that everything worth doing is worth doing slowly…and how! But will Roxie stay upstate, or will the lure of West Coast redemption tempt her back to Tinseltown?

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: 5 STARS

Ladies and gentleman, Alice Clayton is back! 

I didn’t know how much I missed Alice’s books until I started listening to #Nuts! She writes funny, romantic and sexy stories and knows how to captivate her readers from beginning to end.

So, this book is about Roxy and her sexy farmer boy, Leo. She accepted to help her mom with the dinner’s family while her mom is out of town during the summer and what she expected to be a “arrive, work and going back to California” kinda summer, ended up being something romantic and life changing.

Roxy is a great female character. I loved her internal dialogue and I totally understood why she felt the way she felt about relationships and her decisions about what she wanted to do with her life. What I most liked about her was that she did what she did and she wasn’t afraid of doing it. When she wanted to go away from her hometown to college, she did it. When she wanted to stay in California and exercise her career as a professional chef, she did it. And when she met Leo and SHE WANTED HIM, she went for him. The best thing was that their attraction was mutual.

Leo – AKA Almanzo Wilder– was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! He was smart, funny, caring and very, very romantic. He was that kind of book boyfriend you never thought you wanted to have but ended up being just perfect. I loved his passion for his farm, the way he treated Roxy –Sugar Snap is a sexy and sweet pet name- and of course, his expertise with his eggplant! HaHaHa.

Alice’s comedy was all over the place in this book. Every pun and innuendos about vegetables and fruits were hilarious, and the addition of Roxy’s clumsiness made this book a sexy funny read.

Shayna Thibodeaux and Sebastian York’s performances were as perfect as always. Shayna has a smooth style to read books that I always enjoy. She adopts the attitude of the female character and makes it her own, giving always the best narration. I was so happy to see Sebastian as a narrator in this book, but sadly it was too short for my Yorky-Needs, but his narration was amazing. With only a few minutes he could bring Leo to life with his Oh-So-Sexy voice.

Overall, Nut’s book and audiobook were PERFECT! Can’t wait for the next book Cream. I’m sure it’ll be awesome to know the mysterious and quiet Oscar.
