Description
She thinks meeting him must’ve been fate. It wasn’t.
Claire, a pastry chef struggling to make her restaurant succeed, is too
busy to pursue romance. That doesn’t stop her loving but meddling
mother, Helen, from setting her up on dates. Even after Helen promises
to stop her matchmaking efforts, she can’t help herself. She convinces
Eric, a pediatrician, to meet Claire at a gallery event.
Eric and Claire feel an immediate connection, and their meeting becomes a magical first date. But the longer Eric and Claire see each other, the less comfortable Eric feels about hiding the fact that Claire’s mom set them up. Meanwhile, Claire loves to talk about how she trusts Eric, and how they met by chance. How will she react to the truth?
This witty, sweet romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Coconut Cream Lime Tart.

This was a cute, charming story. Well, I can't quite say the same about Claire's mother though. I could feel the frustration that Claire has been dealing with because more than once I wanted to strangle her mother. Yeah, yeah I know Helen loved her daughter, so she wasn't being mean. But geesh, ever heard about boundaries? Her steam roller ways seem to work in her business because she gets things done. But she can't understand why Claire's potential boyfriends run when Helen starts to meddle? Really? She sure has blinders on about that. It also starts to cause some problems in her marriage not only is she pulling strings but hiding it too.
Eric was a good guy, no doubt about it but I also kept waiting for him to put his foot down with Helen. I mean, really put his foot down.
I did enjoy some of the cute moments in the book. It also has the benefit of being a clean romance.
It has a somewhat predictable H.E.A. ending to the story.
