Book Blurb:
If he gives into temptation… it may mean giving up everything else.
Sebastian Romanov came to Holland Springs to do a job—not to fall for some small-town baker. He has a Russian mafia background and an English title, both of which he’ll need to exploit fully to gain control of the family company.
Daisy Barnes has no intentions of posing as his fake fiancée, but unexpected circumstances force her hand.
She’s sweeter than her cupcakes, and twice as bad for him.
There’s no way he can stop after just one taste.

Review:
I didn’t realize this was part of a series until about a chapter or 2 into the book. This was part of the anthology, Modern Fairytales: Twelve Book of Breathtaking Romance. I think I would have understood the dynamic between some of the other characters better if I had read the books in order. Other than that, the romance between Sebastian/Jules and Daisy is fresh and new.
I won’t spoil the book, but I was disappointed the the secret admirer went on for so long. Daisy should have figured it out months ago. It started out as a bigger plot twist than it actually ended up being, so not sure why it went on for so long. For her to be so smart and self sufficient, she missed every sign that was starting her in the face.
Overall, it was a good book. I think it dragged on for a few chapters too many, I would have loved to have seen more from the Kate character, but that’s just me wanting drama.
Favorite Scene: **SPOILER ALERT** Epilogue
“Sitting in this very bed, in this very house, with you and our child, was number three on my new and improved bucket list.”
New and improved bucket list? “What was number one and two?”
Placing a knee on the side of the bed, he cupped her face and gazed into her eyes, “Win back the woman I love and convince her to marry me.”
If she hadn’t been sitting in bed, she would have swooned.
~Sebastian / Just Desserts
