Gimme Some Sugar

Gimme Some Sugar by Kimberly Kincaid

Desperate to escape the spotlight of her failed marriage to a fellow celebrity-chef, Carly di Matisse left New York City for a tiny town in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The restaurant she's running these days may not be chic, but in Pine Mountain she can pretend to be the tough cookie everybody knows and loves. Until she finds herself spending too much time with a way-too-hot contractor whose rugged good looks melt her like butter...

Jackson Carter wasn't looking for love. But he's not the kind of man to walk away from a worksite—or from a fiery beauty whose passionate nature provides some irresistible on-the-job benefits...

It's the perfect temporary arrangement for two ravenous commitment-phobes, except that Jackson and Carly keep coming back for seconds... and thirds... and fourths...
I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

Going to the Pine Mountain resort was just a stepping stone for Carly. A place for her to lick her wounds and get back to what she loved, cooking. Her to be ex-husband has done nothing but make her life as hard as possible, he even enlists her own mother to try to get to her. He's not dangerous physically, he's just a jackass. When she meets Jackson she likes the way he looks and her best friend thinks she needs to scratch the itch, if you get what I'm saying. Scratching that itch with Jackson though soon proves that she can't be a detached person, she doesn't do casual.

Jackson is a contractor and he's not looking for the happily ever after. He doesn't think he can be what someone would need in a lifetime situation. His past just makes him think he's not meant for married life. Meeting Carly though makes him stop and thing that maybe he could be a long term guy, maybe.

I loved this book, I inhaled it and it left me wanting more. Not from lack of story, it was just that good that I want more. I'm greedy that way. Carly is dealing with a ton in her life, her ex is a total jerk. People have an idea that she is only what she is because of the ex. Jackson enters her life at the right time because she needs some one that's going to treat her different, special.  Jackson needed someone that would be worth wanting the happily ever after. Check this story out! I promise you'll enjoy it!
