Publisher Description
His family calls him Uncle Lobster. Friends call him Kru.
I just know him as my one-night stand turned Mister Irritat—I mean, Landlord.
How was I supposed to know our fiery-hot club night—and the eighteen hours of passion that followed—would end up with him moving to Bayshore and starting a restaurant right next to my viral social media marshmallow shop?
He was almost the man of my dreams…but everybody knows marshmallows don't pair with lobster. Busting a hole through my storage closet is the least of my worries. He's bought the building—and plans to kick me out. Six years of hard work, right into the lobster trap. Unless I have something to say about it—which I do, loudly, even in the middle of his dinner rush.
Life would be easier if I could just hate him and move on. But the longer we battle over the shared back room and fight over umbrellas in the patio space, I'm reminded of why we had our fiery night in the first place.
Uncle Lobster isn't just my irritating usurper.
He might also be my perfect match.
Welcome to Bayshore, the lakeside Ohio small town that's home to both the Daly brothers and now the Keegans! This is the first book in the spin-off series that follows the Keegans as they face down a family mystery and fall for the ones they least expected.
Customer Reviews
So many nicknames, and a great story!
This story was so much fun - lots of energy, plenty of nicknames and other quirky moments, and tons of creativity made this novel absolutely sparkle. I certainly never imagined someone opening a marshmallow shop, but Ms. Leigh has clearly done the research and has me believing I could do this like Piper has. Of course, it's not as smooth or simple as all that once Kru acquires the property that includes Cloud Nine Confections (is that a perfect name or what?) as well as the vacant space next door, where he plans to open a restaurant. He also happens to be the one night stand that Piper can't forget. Since they both operate food service businesses, there is certainly some competition, and for added inspiration, Kru's restaurant development is being filmed for a reality show. Adding to this mayhem are plenty of small town Ohio characters and family members. Being from Ohio myself, it was fun to read references I recognized (though Bayshore is fictional, as far as I can tell). Piper and Kru fight their attraction and try to just keep their businesses going, but their chemistry wins out - great fireworks and wonderful mutual support.I certainly look forward to reading more about happenings in Bayshore!
