You scream. I scream. We all scream during … well, you get the point.
After a failed eight-year relationship and a cross-country move, the last thing I’m looking for as a single mom is a new flame. In fact, diapers, walls marked in crayon, and daycare pickup are the only things on my to-do list.
Enter Jake Brady, your friendly neighborhood food truck owner whose dimples and delicacies won’t seem to leave well enough alone. With more popularity than the president, his wine-infused sweet treats have our nation’s capital hooked. He’s spontaneous, smug and all-American gorgeous; a dangerous combination considering he has no interest in taking on the responsibilities that rule my life.
But when we can’t seem to sample enough of each other’s … desserts, things start to get complicated. Jake is biting off more than he can chew, and when I watch him with my daughter, I can’t seem to freeze my melting heart.
Maybe it’s his waffle cone. Maybe it’s his … banana split. Either way, I think I’m in trouble with a cherry on top.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
Samantha is a single mother who has returned home with her three year old daughter Lennon. Starting over isn't easy and just as she is getting into the swing of things she meets Jake. Turns out they went to college together and he harbored a little crush on her. He asks Samantha out and she says yes. Their first date doesn't go as well as they hoped, but they are both determined to make things work. Even if that means taking things slow.

I knew I would like this book as soon as I found out that Jake drove a food truck that served alcoholic ice cream. YUM. But that was just the beginning of what I loved about him. At first he doesn't handle the whole single mother thing very well but, he slowly warms up to the idea. It helps that Lennon one is freaking ADORABLE and can win pretty much anyone over. And it isn't long before he finds that he wants to be there for Samantha and Lennon....permanently. He's thoughtful, sweet, kind and quite the gentleman at times.
I loved this book. It's a sweet story (pardon the pun) with a bit of originality. I liked that Jake owned a food truck and Samantha worked for the Parks Service. Something simple like that, careers that I have never seen in a book before, made a big difference. Of course the main attraction is Samantha and Jake's relationship and it didn't disappoint. There were times when those two could have melted all the ice cream in Jake's truck. That's how hot they were. And don't even get me started on Jake's relationship with Lennon....SWOON.
If you're looking for a quick, relatively drama free read, I recommend 1-clicking this book. You won't be disappointed!
