Review: 11 Enticing Donuts - Fifi Flowers - June 2018 Clearing my kindle of its old books and waiting in the doctor's office, I needed a quick read. Scrolling through, I came across 11 Enticing Donuts which I had brought in the National Doughnut Day Collaboration series where a group of authors had written romances featuring doughnuts. In 11 Enticing Doughnuts, we meet Valentina who works as a PA to Mr. Laselle who owns a PR business. She had hoped this job would give her a foot in the door and lead to her writing her slogans and advertising but it seems she is destined to have her words stolen by others in the company. Her best friend keeps telling her to quit and write her own children's books featuring her dog Frosting's adventures. Meanwhile, a new doughnut shop has opened up and the owner Peyton is a hunk. The title comes from the fact that he keeps trying to get Valentina's attention by shortchanging her donut boxes and instead of giving her 12 for a dozen, he kee...

Review: Donut Be Shy - Men of Lakeview - F.G Adams - June 2018 Amy is the owner of the Purple Polkadot Bakery which I loved that name and one night, she is wandering the beach and meets an ex-military guy named Tanner aka Moose. The pair share a connection and they have an amazing one-night stand. The next morning Amy overhears him on the phone saying she was just some "random chick". She leaves and goes back to her life hurt as she is feeling rejected.

Review: Donut Overthink It - Shantel Tessier - June 2018 This book relates to donuts as our main character Hadley Burns loves them and always brings them into the office for the staff to munch on. Hadley works as a secretary for Aiden Kyle who is one of three Kyles that are lawyers of the firm. Aiden it seems is the toughest of them all and a stickler for rules. During the book, we can see that there is chemistry bouncing off Hadley and Aiden but neither will go for it. Hadley believes her boss is a grade A-jerk who loves to push her buttons and wants her fired. About halfway through the book, the truth becomes clear to Hadley and Aiden that they both want each other but their worlds are complicated. Then just as their romance is starting to heat up, someone sends them photos of themselves together and then the police turn up to arrest Hadley. Who has told the police lies about her and who wants her out of the picture? Has someone else got their eyes set on Aiden ...
