Cream of the Crop, Volume 2 by Alice Clayton

5.0

His brie melts in her mouth, and she melts for him...

Sexy and successful, Natalie Grayson is on top of the world. Curvy and confident, she owns every inch of her body, and loves flaunting it as she takes Manhattan by storm every day. But when she spots steamy farmer Oscar at the cheese stand of her favourite market, her usual cockiness deflates, and she finds herself wobbling in her fabulous heels, unable to utter more than just, "brie?" When the opportunity arises to launch a marketing campaign for the small town of Bailey Falls, Natalie jumps to head the project. Her best friend just so happens to live in Bailey Falls, and so does Oscar...
I absolutely loved this second installment of the Hudson Valley series! This book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading Nuts first if you plan to read the entire series. I laughed out loud many times throughout this novel, appreciative as always of Alice Clayton's witty, sexy humour. I loved the characters in this novel, complete with a few familiar faces. I identified a lot with Natalie's character. I admired her sharp tongue, confidence, and no-holds-barred attitude. I enjoyed the audiobook version of this novel, and felt the narrators suited Natalie and Oscar perfectly. I recommend this hilarious romance novel to anyone who loves a good laugh and a sexy storyline!
