CREAM OF THE CROP is book two in the Hudson
Valley
series by the funny Alice Clayton. Clayton's books are
always silly fun, with irreverent humor and a feeling that
the story is a little over-the-top. This is the perfect
frothy book to reach for when you want to make yourself
laugh out loud. Quirky characters spring off the page
larger than life in the Big Apple and in nearby idyllic
small town Bailey Falls.
This is a charming and light-hearted RomCom with plenty of s
of sizzle. Natalie Grayson is a top executive at a leading Manh
Manhattan advertising firm. She's a size 16 who loves her body
body and her life. It's refreshingly lovely to have a
heroine who is so comfortable with her body and her
sexuality, and a hero who accepts both too! Natalie is a
successful Manhattanite with a power circle of friends and a
very heavy social life. Natalie harbors a secret yearning
to live a life in the country, although until she meets
Oscar, it's just a pipe dream.
Oscar Mendoza is laconic, tattooed behemoth of a man who
owns Bailey Falls Creamery. Cool and confident Natalie
turns into a flustered, shy woman every Saturday when she
buys her beloved Brie from Oscar, which is so endearing (to
me as well as to Oscar)! When Bailey Falls hires Natalie
to rebrand their town to bring in tourism, Natalie has the
perfect reason to enter Oscar's orbit. The panties and the
double entendres then begin to fly, bringing a gleam to my
eye and a smile to my face. I adore Oscar and Natalie's
quick slide into love. Smoking bedroom scenes, funny
conversations, and some mild angst pepper these pages and
make Clayton's CREAM OF THE CROP a well-seasoned delight.
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Alice Clayton brings her trademark blend of funny and sexy to this second contemporary romance in the brand-new Hudson Valley series! Manhattan’s It Girl, Natalie Grayson, has it all: she’s a hot exec at a leading advertising firm, known industry-wide for her challenging and edgy campaigns. She’s got a large circle of friends, a family that loves her dearly, and her dance card is always full with handsome eligible bachelors. What else could a modern gal-about-town wish for? The answer, of course, is...cheese. Natalie’s favorite part of each week is spending Saturday morning at the Union Square Farmer’s Market, where she indulges her love of all things triple cream. Her favorite booth also indulges her love of all things handsome. Oscar Mendoza, owner of the Bailey Falls Creamery and purveyor of the finest artisanal cheeses the Hudson Valley has to offer, is tall, dark, mysterious, and a bit oblivious. Or so she thinks. But that doesn’t stop Natalie from fantasizing about the size of his, ahem, milk can. Romance is churning, passion is burning, and something incredible is rising to the top. Could it be...love?
