​When Alexis “Lexi” Moreau caught her husband, Jeff, sampling the sous-chef’s more intimate wares in their New York restaurant, she ran—all the way back to her hometown of St. Helena, California. Six months later, Lexi has no husband and no restaurant. But she does have a three-step plan: First, convert her grandmother’s bakery into her dream bistro. Second, ignore Grandma’s matchmaking attempts. And third, avoid Marco DeLuca, her ex’s commitment-phobic, distractingly sexy best friend.
In school Lexi was off-limits for Marco. After all, she was his buddy’s girl. But she’s still as smart and as gorgeous—and apparently as immune to his charms—as she used to be. Yet the simple fake romance they agree upon to dodge Lexi’s grandmother’s matchmaking plans soon turns deliciously complicated. And the sultry summer might bring together all the right ingredients for Marco to win the only woman he’s ever wanted.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

St. Helena is an amazing town, everyone is so close. They help each other out when they need to. Sometimes they screw things up for others without trying also. But in their heart they have the best of intentions. Lexi and Marc are prime examples of this. How far are you willing to go to stay loyal to a friend? When you are being tugged in two different directions, do you listen to your head or your heart? Marco's story was a good one. On to the next DeLuca :-)
