His Vow Her Passion: An Ocean Between Us, A Steamy Small Town Billionaire versus Head Strong Woman
Theo Carter knew the moment he saw Ruthie Black — barefoot in Gram’s kitchen, flour on her cheeks and fire in her eyes—that she was it.
He had met her at school and she was Too young. Too untouchable. Too easy to love.
So, he waited. Through her years of school, through her summers of study in Paris, through her dreams of opening a bakery, through every smile that wasn’t his. He became her friend, her sounding board, her constant. And when she turned eighteen, one night beneath the Paris stars turned friendship into something neither of them could forget.
Back home in Kentucky, Ruthie’s determined to prove herself and open her bakery before she becomes anyone’s bride. Theo’s ready to make her his forever. Their compromise? A bargain to date first—two more years of stolen passion, small-town gossip, and flour-dusted chaos before she’ll say yes.
Between catering the Governor’s galas, weddings and remodeling an old feed mill into Sugar & Sage, love becomes the most tempting recipe Ruthie’s ever tried to master. Denying Theo is like denying air to breathe.
Because patience may be Theo Carter’s virtue—but Ruthie Black is his vow, his weakness, and the sweetest thing he’s ever tasted.

Received this ARC from the author through Book Funnel.
It was a reasonable story, and kept me interested, but my rating is because of editing concerns and continuity.
perhaps I was reading too much into it, because it seemed like sometimes the story kept hopping around and it was difficult to know if it was another POV or an editing issue.
if people are not quite as analytical as I am, they might simply read and enjoy Ruthie and Theo's adventures with her family.
P.S. I just realized this is book six. I don't know if reading the previous five would have had any impact on my comprehension, but I somehow think not, as the story basically stands by itself.
