Story
Oliver’s a dreamer who is always ready for the next big adventure. Piper’s the steady one who keeps his feet on the ground. He’s wildly successful, thanks to her always being there to catch him when he leaps before he looks. But she wants more. While he’s as clueless as ever. So, she just gave her two weeks notice. Ollie doesn’t know how he’ll survive without Piper. But does he want her as his assistant...or is there a sweeter spot in his life for the woman who's always had his back - and possibly even his heart?

Story
This marriage of convenience is about to get sticky. Getting hitched for the health insurance is not Jocelyn Asher's idea of romance. But the hospital quote has really frosted her cookies, and suddenly, "I'm rich. We should just get married", sounds a whole lot more swoony. Especially when the man proposing is this gorgeous. And takes her to parties featuring champagne and petit fours. She's a sucker for anything with bubbles or icing. And just like that she finds herself married to a near stranger. Grant Lorre is usually allergic to spontaneity.

Story
Thanks to a drawn-up-while-drinking-moonshine partnership agreement, Madison Allain has to spend 30 days back on the bayou before she can sell her part of the family business. And if the heat and humidity and freaking alligators of Louisiana aren’t enough to agitate the cool and in-control California girl, then Owen Landry, the equally hot guy who stole her heart 12 years ago, will sure do the trick. Owen just has to remember three simple-ish rules: Do not fight with her. Do not fight over her. Do not kiss her. He can do this.

Paige Asher likes her men the way she likes her coffee: hot, slightly sweet, and only to-go. The hot friend-of-a-friend she had a scorching single night with was just about perfect - tall, rugged, with a sexy drawl...and on the road out of town by six AM the next morning. Long before her mom could start picking out wedding flowers.

Sawyer Landry knows he’s been beastly to be around for the past few months. But he can’t seem to remember how to be fun-loving and friendly. Until he sees Juliet Dawson on his boat dock...and realizes that hip waders are, apparently, one of his turn-ons. But despite the beauty in the boots, the last thing he needs right now is a city girl in his way for the next two weeks. He’s incredibly drawn to the cynical fish-out-of-water, who seems to be the one person who isn’t intimidated by his growling.

She's his best friend's little sister. He's known her all his life. He's practically part of the family. There is nothing either of them could do to surprise the other at this point. Then, she showed up in his bedroom in lingerie and asked him to take her V-card. Okay, that was a surprise. Aiden is pretty sure Zoe was equally surprised when he told her no.

I know finding and signing a military vet to the agency is a long shot - but it’ll be good press just letting him try out. That’s what I tell my family, rather than admit I can’t get the letter he wrote us five years ago out of my head. But what I tell the bartender in his hometown is a lie. I know veterans protect each other. So I pretend to be a graduate student. Sparks. Flame. Fire. I accidentally got in too deep. I didn’t expect to develop feelings for Gunner Camden. And there’s no way I can admit to my lies now.

To be “just friends” with a guy, you’ve got to follow The Rules: Don’t touch him unnecessarily. Don’t share your intimate dreams with him (even if he asks). Don’t kiss him, and definitely don’t sleep with him. Scout Dunne and I have been “just friends” since childhood. I’m one of the few people who knows the first-round NFL draft pick wants more than a life of sports.

It was the perfect plan. I needed a wife - temporarily - in order to inherit the family business. And she needed a favor - the kind that takes nine months to deliver. We had it all worked out, from the no-touching policy on our wedding night (her rule) to the no-falling-in-love decree (mine). She’d marry me, I’d give her the means to have the baby she’d always wanted, and one year later we’d amicably part ways with no hassle, no demands, and certainly no regrets. After all, Bianca DeRossi and I are experts at infuriating one another - we’ve been doing it since we were kids.

How the hell did I end up on TV faking like I’m not falling for the world’s sexiest shrink? Yeah, I agreed to live at an old cult compound and let cameras tail me around, but a plotline about a grumpy single dad finding love? Big nope. All I want is a brewery to run and a fresh start with my daughter. Just toss me the keys, keep the psych sessions short, and remind me again why I can’t fall for Dr. Mari Judson. At least I’m not alone. She’s as thirsty as I am for what’s brewing between us, but Mari runs scared when we get close.

Six years ago, Eden barged into my life and turned everything upside down. We spent one scorching-hot night together, and then she disappeared into the sunset with the golden jock everyone adored. Which makes sense, right? A girl as beautiful and brilliant as Eden Wynn doesn’t end up with a rebel like me. I expected them to live happily ever after, but that's not what happened. She's back in my life - and tempting me like no one else has. And while I'm certain I'll only tarnish her shine, I want her.

In the middle of a crowded bar in our small Alaskan town, my estranged wife snuggles up to me as if we’re still a happy couple. Don’t get me wrong, we were a happy couple - before she walked out on me a year ago. We were the high school sweethearts everyone thought were destined to be together forever. We thought so, too, which is why we married shortly after graduation. We had a good marriage. Until she left me without any real explanation. Now, she’s back - and this is the real kicker - she has amnesia and thinks I’m still her husband.

I’ve signed numerous players to my family’s agency - I assumed winning over my next client would be just as easy. The last thing I expected was to run into the boy who took my first kiss and broke my heart: only now Drew Bowman is all grown up. Sexy. Scandal-tainted. Second-string. The crush I never got over. aI tell myself work is the reason I can’t get him out of my head. I tell him his talent far outweighs his position, and I know I can help. I lie and lie, because admitting that I want a second chance at my first love is impossible.

Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds. I was starting to lose hope. Until a knock at my door came, and God answered my prayers. Except...uh...wrong prayer, God. I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion...just not as my roommate. Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway. While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined. Then, cupcakes showed up at my door.

An Extra Special Romance
I thought that there was just something really special about this second chance romance. Please, check your preconceived notions at the door about how you think this story will unfold because the author has cleverly crafted something that I thought was fresh, funny, heartfelt and intensely emotional. Cam and Whitney's story will make you laugh and sigh and swoon and feel like your heart is simply going to burst because it is simply so full. As is the case with the story being told, I felt that these characters were so much more than what you might expect. I so enjoyed witnessing them discovering those hidden facets in each other and in themselves as their relationship evolved. You can expect a truly heart melting romance that offers up an abundance of feels, plenty of sweetness and humor, small town charm, deep emotions, tension, angst, drama, heart, heat and naughty talk. You also get an amazing cast of friends and family that make every book in this series more enjoyable than the last. While Whitney and Cam's HEA takes center stage in this book, there are a couple secondary storylines here that truly pack a powerful punch. These added a whole other layer of genuineness, painful poignancy and realism to this book. I refuse to give spoilers but I have to say that Didi and Henry rocked!!! The were scene and heart stealers. I completely fell for this book and am absolutely loving every minute of this series!! I am so thankful, there are more books to come because I'm just not ready to say goodbye to the Hot Cakes family and their friends yet. Dual narration on this book, which in my opinion was the frosting on the cake (Pun Intended)! Both performers were excellent, fit the characters beautifully and made it super easy to become immersed in this incredible book.

My Thoughts on Semi-Sweet on You
This is a perfect example of second chance romance done right for me. Normally I’m a tad bit leery of a second chance romance for fear that it will be to heavy on the angst unless it’s a known author. Erin Nicholas was recently brought to my attention, but I’ve been a big fan of her books ever since. That’s one reason why I happily jumped into this story. And luckily, she didn’t disappoint.
Cam and Whitney were together in high school but when they graduated Whitney broke things off and they did their separate things, barely seeing each other for 10 years. But with them both now working for the same company they’re around each other a lot more and that old attraction is still there. What took place over the course of this book was more than two people who were once in a relationship coming together again. It was also about them discovering who the other really is now and basically starting over with just a bit of history to help them along. The history between their two families was interesting and quite entertaining. But I loved the way the families slowly came together and formed bonds while these two figured out their relationship. I really liked Whitney. I felt for her and the baggage from her family. I loved that she at least had her grandmother and loved their connection. And it made me instantly love the way Cam stepped in helped her. He supported her in many ways and made my awesome book boyfriend list.
The narration on this was excellent. I am a huge fan of Jason Clarke and this was a good one by him. Lili Valente was a winner in this one for me too. I love the books she writes and now am slowly getting hooked on the ones she narrates too.

One Big Family
Cam and Whitney have been teasing us for the entire series. We already know about their past, now we get to see where they’re going. I’ve had trouble figuring out Cam. He’s always mentioned as the “bad boy” who loves a good fight. But he doesn’t come across that way. Especially in this book. He’s basically just a big, sweet, teddy bear. He surprised me with his forward behavior at the beginning, but I was expecting him to be more protective. Even have a bit of a temper. Turned out I preferred the nice version.
Whitney is low on confidence at first, but she really blossoms once she realizes how many people care about her and have her back. In fact, my favorite thing about this book was the way our feuding families came together and formed a giant super-family. That, and the way Whitney stood up to her bullies at the end.

Cam and Whitney
I love the Hot Cake series! Every couple has been great and I was excited to see where Cam and Whitney's story would take them. They were the once forbidden couple. I really liked how their story evolved. Their relationship wasn't like the characters before. They had a past. I liked how even though Cam knew what he wanted, he stepped back and saw what was there. Plus, Whitney made changes along the way. Another great Hot Cakes book and a 5 star Erin Nicholas read.

Sweet second chance romance
This series keeps getting better with every book. Cam and Whitney’s story is a second chance romance and I loved every moment of it. Their story is a slow burn of coming back together after ten years. They fell in love in high school despite being from rival families. Their story is great and I love the emotion and fun that Erin put in this book. One of my favorite things was the relationship that Cam and Whitney’s grandmother. Jason Clarke and Lili Valente were fantastic in their narration. Can’t wait for the rest of this series.

Second Chance
A very semi-sweet second chance love story for Cameron and Whitney. They were in love in high school but had to keep it secret from everyone because their grandmothers had a falling out over their bakeries. Now that Cameron and his friends own Whitney's family bakery, Hot Cakes, they have to learn to be around each other even though she broke up with him ten years ago. I really liked the way Cameron and Whitney were able to work through everything. Cameron is one of my favorites - especially the way he stepped up to take care of Didi, Whitney's grandmother and the nemesis of his own grandmother. Didi is beginning to have memory problems and needs someone with her while Whitney works at Hot Cakes. This story brought tears to my eyes and laughter, too. Erin Nicholas has a wonderful way with words. I had read the book but the audiobook just brings something extra. Jason Clarke and Lili Valente bring Cam and Whitney to life for me.

Perfectly sweet (sexy) second chance romance
Whitney and Cameron’s second chance romance is a perfect second chance romance. - high school sweethearts that get a second chance to fall in love - who doesn’t like that happy ending. Their families have been feuding for three generations. They had a secret year long romance in high school and she chose her family’s business over him ending their relationship when they were eighteen. Fast forward ten years and now Cam and his partners have bought Whitney’s family business, Hot Cakes, the company that started the feud between their families, and Cam and Whitney have to work together. Can they get past their past and learn to love again? This book has the perfect blend of funny, sweet and fan your face steamy with only a tiny bit of angst. Whitney and Cam’s love story has all the feels. It’s a second chance romance story with a bunch of extras thrown in to make it much more than a simple fluff romance - small town, family feud, difficult family dynamics, Alzheimer’s, non-traditional gender roles, friendships, and finding contentment with yourself. Sprinkled throughout this beautifully paced story of Whitney and Cam’s HEA, there are also a number of secondary characters that we have seen throughout the Hot Cakes series. Rather than being confusing, overwhelming or detracting from the main love story, these characters are central to the unfurling of Whitney and Cam’s dance of friendship, love and passion and to the perfection that is Appleby, Iowa. We learn enough about who the secondary characters are along with just enough of their stories so that they’re fully developed characters in their own right. This book is a stand alone. You can read just this book and not be confused about what you’ve missed in the the previous three books but you’ll still want to read the rest of the books in the series because they’re all just as good - desserts, love and steam - they’re a trifecta of romance. With Semi-Sweet on You, Erin Nicholas once again proves she’s a fantastic storyteller and the narration by Jason Clarke and Lili Valente brings these characters to life just perfectly.
