Publisher Description
The third in the hilarious yet sizzling hot Hudson Valley series from New York Time and USA TODAY bestselling author Alice Clayton.
Clara Morgan is living the dream, if you can call rebranding hotels that are desperate for a new life and running any kind of marathon a dream. Which she does. But the career she loves and the endurance races that keep her adrenaline pumping have kept her too busy to put down any roots. Growing up in foster care, she’s never been able to establish traditions of her own, which may be why she’s fascinated by the rituals that generations-old family resorts are known for. She’s especially interested in the Bryant Mountain House, and not just for their secret recipe for the yummy, gooey, can’t-get-enough-of Hot Cross Buns….
Archie Bryant, the man with the Buns, is fifth generation and one-day-owner of the charming yet run-down Bryant Mountain House in Bailey Falls, New York. He’s determined to save his family’s legacy from the wrecking ball the old-fashioned way—by gritting his teeth and doing what needs to be done. There’s no way Archie will be influenced by the new hotel branding expert his father brought in to turn one hundred and fifty years of tradition on its head just to attract a faster, younger, slicker crowd. But when some of Clara’s ideas start bringing in new, paying customers, Archie can’t deny that she may have just given him a shot at keeping his resort open.
It’s sticky, it’s messy, it’s sweet, it’s Buns.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The third book in Alice Clayton's Hudson Valley series is filled with innuendo and banter worthy of the classic movie couple Hepburn and Tracy. Clara Morgan is tasked with revamping the stately Bryant Mountain House Hotel and making it profitable, but buttoned-up co-owner Archie Bryant hates change. When Clara and Archie aren't bickering, they're kissing—we adored this enemies-to-lovers story and Clayton's signature laugh-out-loud writing.

Great funny Romantic Comedy
Book 3 in The Hudson Valley Series and oh what a pleasure it is to be back with characters that feel like family.
Clara Morgan grew up in the foster system and she has never felt like she belonged anywhere enough to call it home, she spends her spare time running marathons and triathlons and for work she travels around renovating hotels and her latest job is helping the new owner Archie Bryant of Moutain House do up the hotel. Is it Archie or the delicious hot cross buns that have her feeling like this could finally be a place to settle in .....
Archie Bryant wants his family's Mountain House Hotel up and running, he wants it to be successful but it's his father who hires Clara and Archie is really not convinced she is the one to put the hotel back to its former glory.
This book is Alice Clayton at her best, it's a emotional driven rom-com that will make you laugh and will have you smiling like a Cheshire Cat.
The banter between the characters is perfect, it's a sweet romanance and it was a book that I found hard to put down.
Buns......ROCKS
Fabulous!! Lots of giggles, a few tears and everything in between. No housework is getting done while you are reading this. You won't be able to but it down.
Oh so good
5 star Review Buns (Hudson Valley #3) by Alice Clayton
What's not to love about this series? I really enjoyed Buns, it was as fun and quirky as the previous two books in the series.
This is the story of Archie Bryant, an uptight widower who is about to take over the running of Bryant Mountain House in Bailey Falls and the bossy, yet determined Clara Morgan who is assigned the job to bring the hotel back to it's glory and move it into the current century whilst retaining it's charm and history.
From the first moment these two meet there is a push and pull situation happening, both equally opinionated and determined as to the vision of the hotel and how it should move forward.
Having been brought up in the foster care system, Clara shies away from holidays and anything “family” orientated. Archie, on the other hand is all about the history of his family. These two should not connect and yet they do.; this is a case of opposites attracting and after spending a great deal of time flirting, Archie and Clara finally give in to their feelings.
The banter and camaraderie between Archie and Clara as well as their friends is amazing. It really is like coming home when I picked up this book. I love these characters and the mischief they get up too.
I always finish an Alice Clayton with a smile on my face. This was possibly my favourite of the trilogy as I absolutely loved Archie and Clara, separately and together. The vulnerability that both had as they slowly opened their hearts and minds to the possibility of love was heart warming.
