Customer Reviews

What a fun read!

I enjoyed this fun story, and I thought the location was wonderful. It was great to get out of the big city. I also thought Pipers vocation was interesting, but imagine being allergic to chocolate! Stephanie Bond never disappoints, excellent writing and characters.

Great, funny romance

When wealthy restaurateur Ian Bentley's girlfriend proposes to him and gives him an engagement ring, he quickly heads to Mudville, Mississippi to personally work with Blythe Industries food scientists to develop a signature dessert for one of his new coffeehouse chain. Piper Shephard is the chief food scientist for Blythe Industries in Mudville, Mississippi, population 1,200. Piper is responsible for creating the deserts that Blythe sells to restaurants around the country. Piper's job is somewhat hazardous because she's allergic to chocolate. Piper has been a bridesmaid so many times she could open her own bridal boutique with her bridesmaid dresses. When she learns that she is the last single girl of the 25 girls in her sorority, Piper realizes it's time to get serious about finding a man for herself, even hypochondriac Tillie has gone to hospital so many times she's bagged herself a rich doctor. When Piper discovers a guide on how to catch a husband among a box of items her Grandmother gave her, she decides to follow the book's advice, after all, it worked for Gran. Although the selection of eligible males in Mudville is somewhat slim, Piper is determined to stay in town so she can be close to her Grandmother. In fact, if Piper comes up with a desert good enough to get Ian Bentley to sign a contract, she will earn a large enough bonus to put a down payment on Gran's house.Piper's attempts at attracting a man go hilariously wrong from the moment she begins. From the moment Ian leans over Piper when she's lying in a mud puddle, he's immediately smitten. The sparks fly between Ian and Piper but Piper is determined to stay away from Ian because of the ring on his finger.This is a very funny book with charming, funny characters. I especially like Piper's neighbor; he's a hoot.

Sinfully Delicious!

Stephanie Bond is a master of comedy, but in this book, she mixes her rare talent for "funny" with some of the hottest sexuality and quirkiest characters seen in Temptation to date. You can't help but love a heroine who willingly risks an allergic reaction to chocolate in the name of sensual delights! I can't wait for her next one!

This author cooks!

Stephanie Bond is known for sassy, fun. In MANHUNTING, she adds intense sexual tension. Bravo!! Don't miss the recipe in the back. It's a keeper.

A chocolate-filled fun romp!

Bond's latest effort is funny and cute, and delicious! As usual, she creates interesting, quirky characters which break the mold one usually sees in Harlequin novels. I love the recipie at the end -- and the hilarious secrets the characters keep from one another. Keep up the good work.
