Excerpt:
Copyright @ KC Enders 2020
The door next to me swings open, and a giant of lean muscle, scruffy cheeks, and deep dark brown scowling eyes steps out into the hallway, startling me.
With a really unladylike gasp, I stumble backward until my back hits the doorjamb. “Oh, I’m so sorry,” I squeak. “You scared me. Welcome. Kent emailed me that he’d sublet his place for a couple of months, though he didn’t tell me anything about you. Not that he needed to, I mean, it’s none of my business, really. I’m Lyla Dupree, it’s lovely to meet you.” I thrust my hand out to shake, but he just stares, so I let it fall back to my side.
I’m rambling, and I can’t seem to stop. It’s my thing when I’m nervous, but my roommate Sasha tells me it comes off as bubbly and kind of sweet. From the look on this guy’s face, though, I wonder if she’s just been blowing sunshine up my butt because he looks pissed. And that just makes me even more nervous, so the bubbly word vomit continues.
“You picked an amazing place to live while you’re here in the city. Where are you from? Somewhere out west, maybe? I mean, not that I know. I already told you that, so it’s just a guess, but with the flannel and the beanie…” Dear Jesus, now would be a perfect time for me to shut up. “Anyway, I just finished testing a new recipe, I’m a chef. I don’t know if Kent mentioned that when you talked about the sublet, but he should have. I mean, I do pastries, and my roommate Sasha does more of the real food. Oh my God, she makes the best mac and cheese, truly she’s amazing. Kent said it was a good thing he had to leave for this temporary assignment in London. Something about gaining weight if he lived next to us for too much longer. I don’t know, though, I think something might have happened between him and Sasha, you know? They both kind of started acting funny and then the next thing I know he’s taking a job in England for a year. But, whatever. Do you like sweets? Cakes, cookies, pastries? Any food allergies I should know about?”
And, cue uncomfortable silence.

My Review:
So, I have been lucky enough to meet this author in person, but this is the first book of hers that I’ve actually read.
Like all the other books that I’ve read in this series, it was a very sweet and simple story. While the characters did have their own back story issues, they are part of the story but in a way that doesn’t bog it down. I had trouble putting this story down when I picked it up, because it just kept me reading and turning pages to see how it would go. It was pretty much what I expected for this series, but I would say it is one of my favorites so far. I also enjoyed as usual the characters we’ve met in past books showing up and getting to see how they were doing. I look forward to maybe stories for some of the characters in this story in the future as well.
Honestly, the more of these I read, I wonder if maybe I should try to write a story for this world as well! Maybe for NaNoWriMo next year, I will see if I can come up with one, or change my Chicago story to be a New York story!
About the Author:
Karin is a New York Girl living in a Midwest world. A connoisseur of great words, fine bourbon, and strong coffee, she’s married to the love of her life and is mother to two grown men, she is
proud to say can cook and clean up after themselves, and always open doors for the ladies (you’re welcome, world).
And when life gets a little too calm, she tends to adopt big old rescue dogs: short on brains, large on personality.
