NUTS by Alice Clayton Book Review
I have shared many books with you from author Alice Clayton. She is one of my favorite authors and I look forward to reading every new release she puts out. I am excited to tell you that she is starting a new series that promises to be as wonderful as her Cocktail series and the Redhead series and I could not wait to dive in!
NUTS by Alice Clayton

Publisher: Gallery Books (October 20, 2015)

The New York Times bestselling author of Wallbanger and Rusty Nailed is back with Nuts, the first in a brand new series set in New York’s beautiful Hudson Valley.
Roxie Callahan is a private chef to some of Hollywood’s wealthiest, and nastiest, calorie-counting wives. After a dairy disaster implodes her carefully crafted career in one fell ploop, she finds herself back home in upstate New York, bailing out her hippie mother and running the family diner.
When gorgeous local farmer Leo Maxwell delivers her a lovely bunch of organic walnuts, Roxie wonders if a summer back home isn’t such a bad idea after all. Leo is heavily involved in the sustainable slow food movement, and he likes to take his time. In all things. Roxie is determined to head back to the west coast as soon as summer ends, but will the pull of lazy fireflies and her very own Almanzo Wilder be enough to keep her home for good?
Salty. Spicy. Sweet. Nuts. Go on, grab a handful.

My Thoughts: When I am looking for funny, heart pounding, stories that are full of innuendo and smexy guys, Alice Clayton is a go to. Her writing style is what women’s contemporary fiction lovers crave. This book shows off her wit and humor perfectly and throwing in some hot guys along the way does not hurt my feelings in the least.
In this first book of The Hudson Valley Series, we are introduced to Roxie in California where she works occasionally for none other than Grace and Jack from The Redhead Series. (That is a funny & wild series you need to checkout!) I love the tie in’s to her other books the author does, but they do not leave you lost. They just make you want to go back an re-read the books! LOL
Roxie and Leo are perfectly matched in this hilarious book. The dialogue and scenes between those two are full of chemistry and you just know they are meant to be … or are they? They both are holding back from realizing what they really want.
I cannot think of a better writer of contemporary romance that pulls you into the story so well it seems like you are watching everything unfold in real life. Alice Clayton is a true master of the written word and creator of books you simply cannot put down and will leave you with a book hangover that makes you just want more! Well done!
