Will is a successful entrepreneur but devotes much of his spare time to caring for his ill mother. He knows he doesn’t have much time left with her, so he has done everything he can to guard his heart from relationships. And what girl would understand that he needs to spend all his time with his mother? But when his best friend calls in his help for his September wedding, Will can\u2019t refuse. He’s always been there for those closest to him. And when he finds out they don\u2019t have a wedding cake yet, he knows exactly where to go\u2014the bakery owned by the beautiful, mysterious young woman he buys treats from.<\/p>\n

Charlotte assumes Will is just another party boy who flirts with all the bridesmaids. But is Will hiding something that explains his behavior? And despite their reservations, will they be able to deny the chemistry between them?<\/p>\n

\nWe all know that I love this series and that nine times out of ten, I simply gush over each one as I read it. Nothing new here then. I loved this one. The story is great. The characters are great. The writing is great and if the publisher doesn’t do a third year of these, I’m going to be very sad. These are the perfect “guilty pleasure” for a quiet afternoon.<\/p>\n
