Nothing tops the sweetness of an unexpected love... When Elizabeth's uncle Siegfried and Rob's uncle Pauly rush
off to Europe for a month, they temporarily relinquish the
reins of their ice cream shop to their respective niece and
nephew -- two people who may have grown up practically next
door to each other but who have next to nothing in common. Elizabeth "Please Don't Call Me Lizzy" Daniels is a
small-town Wisconsin girl at heart. Shy and inexperienced at
love, the frizzy-haired dessert cookbook writer still
resides in her quaint hometown of Wilmington Bay, stutters
painfully when nervous and is only comfortable with her
laptop and her tiny circle of cooking pals. She must come
out of hiding over the summer to help her uncle, but she's
convinced her childhood crush, Rob, barely knows she exists. Roberto "You'd Better Call Me Rob, or Else" Gabinarri is the
town's golden boy and former football star who left home
after high school, made a splash in the big city and never
looked back. He has to return to Wilmington Bay to uphold a
promise to his uncle, but he's counting the minutes until he
can escape to the relative anonymity of his fast-paced,
commitment-free city life and the sports-themed restaurant
he owns in Chicago. Despite his chattiness and charm, Rob
was always intimidated by quiet, brainy girls like "Frizzy
Lizzy," and he isn't pleased to be back in the place where
people like her still see him as that popular but dumb jock
-- an image he worked for almost a decade to shed. The unlikely pair tries to make the best of being stuck
together, but Elizabeth has a pressing publication deadline,
and Rob has an Italian mother bent on lining up potential
hometown brides for him. Rob comes up with an idea --
something that might help them both -- but it involves just
a bit of family deception. With time running out to finish
her cookbook and her friends already stretched to the max
trying to assist them, Elizabeth reluctantly agrees. Neither Rob nor Elizabeth are used to playing games of
pretense, but can love, hot summer nights and, maybe, some
chocolate sauce, caramel and whipped cream...turn their
farce into reality?
