Single Mom Seeks...
Gorgeous men were like fudge...Delicious, sensual and mostly bad for you. At least that's what single mother Lily Tanner thought. Especially when Nick Malone moved in next door. Nick was a feast for her eyes, all rippling muscles and perfect proportions. After her disastrous marriage, Lily wanted nothing to do with men ever again. Yet when Nick needed help keeping the salivating neighborhood housewives at bay, he turned to her. His idea was simple: pretend they were a couple to ward off the others. But his methods--close contact and lots of touching--were wreaking havoc on Lily's convictions. Because, as with fudge, after just one taste of Nick Malone, she wanted more!

A sweet, sexy, charming, funny story! The opening scene with discussion of "fudge" is hilarious. The author shows great sympathy and insight into the joys and struggles of single parenting. The situations are a bit contrived and the resolution not completely explained, but it is still a charming book.

One of my Rita finalists I'm trying to read through, in the Contemporary Series Romance category.
This was pure romance, with parenting. The heroine is a divorced mom whose sister is trying to push her back into dating. She's not interested, at all, until new neighbors move in. The hero is an FBI agent taking a furlough to take care of his recently orphaned mid-teen nephew. He lights up the heroine's libido the day they move in, and she makes them sweet tea and fudge as a "welcome to the neighborhood." Of course, all the other divorced moms in the neighborhood do the same thing. One of them is so aggressive, the hero begs the heroine to let him put on a show of getting together with her to put the aggressive neighbor off. (Does that make sense?) He nuzzles the heroine's neck while the neighbor is outside playing peeper. And that kind of kicks things off.
This story moves slowly, but never feels draggy, allowing the hero and heroine to really fall in love. There's some Great dialogue (the phone conversation between the heroine and sister in the opening scene cracked me up--I will never think of fudge the same way again) and some tender moments. It's just a nice romance, and sometimes those are really hard to come by. I liked it a lot.

Really enjoyed this one. Thought the family conflict between Nick and his nephew was really well done and I liked Nick and Lilly as a couple. The sister Marcy was a bit annoying and pushy, but overall an enjoyable book I didn't want to put down.
