Fun and light-hearted romp
3 Stars
Pastry chef, Michelle Nelson, has no desire to return to her small hometown that she left 5 years ago but she has promised her best friend that she will help out with the town’s Annual Horseradish Festival and can’t get out of it. All she has to do is take part in a scavenger hunt then she’ll be free to go.
Much to Michelle’s surprise and annoyance, her partner for the hunt is Ryan Slater. The night before she left town 5 years ago, the pair had a disastrous night together and Michelle has never been able to forgive him. However Ryan is more than willing to see what he can do to make Michelle change her mind about him and give them another chance together.
This was a light-hearted and fun story about two opposite people with a disastrous past who are forced to spend time together. Both Ryan and Michelle were likeable characters if not particularly deep or well-developed. I enjoyed their banter and interactions even if their chemistry was a little fleeting and the sex a little tame.
The story itself of a scavenger hunt was enjoyable despite being quite unbelievable. It was still fun to read what they were put through and you kept turning the pages to see what would happen next.
My main problem with the book was that there wasn’t enough romance for me. I was never sure why Ryan and Michelle weren’t together and towards the end their feelings and the conflict were all a big muddle. The ending was also less dramatic than I would have liked but everything worked out well so it wasn’t too bad!
