If you enjoy the ”enemies-to-lovers” trope, then this is one book you’ll surely not want to miss. Because when this man kissed me, I forgot everything.īUNS is the third installment of the Hudson Valley series that centers on the remaining single woman amongst the tight-knit trio of friends in which each story has been focused upon. And it was all I could do to still feel the earth underneath my feet. It’s sticky, it’s messy, it’s sweet, it’s Buns. But when some of Clara’s ideas start bringing in new, paying customers, Archie can’t deny that she may have just given him a shot at keeping his resort open. There’s no way Archie will be influenced by the new hotel branding expert his father brought in to turn one hundred and fifty years of tradition on its head just to attract a faster, younger, slicker crowd. He’s determined to save his family’s legacy from the wrecking ball the old-fashioned way-by gritting his teeth and doing what needs to be done. She’s especially interested in the Bryant Mountain House, and not just for their secret recipe for the yummy, gooey, can’t-get-enough-of Hot Cross Buns….Īrchie Bryant, the man with the Buns, is fifth generation and one-day-owner of the charming yet run-down Bryant Mountain House in Bailey Falls, New York. Growing up in foster care, she’s never been able to establish traditions of her own, which may be why she’s fascinated by the rituals that generations-old family resorts are known for. But the career she loves and the endurance races that keep her adrenaline pumping have kept her too busy to put down any roots.

Clara Morgan is living the dream, if you can call rebranding hotels that are desperate for a new life and running any kind of marathon a dream.
