Sometimes undressed is better¿A restaurant owner with a knack for creative salad dressings discovers undressed can be better, especially with a businessman who knows his way around the bedroom.The creative dressings Sahara Whitney serves at The Oasis Diner and her long line of failed relationships are her local claim to fame. Such is the small-town life of a buxom, blue-eyed blonde-until a sexy … sexy businessman decides she needs rescuing from a creep with wandering hands. Her usual common sense deserts her in favor of a delicious assortment of bedtime treats with a man who seems to want more than a single night of dessert.Trace Dennison doesn’t believe in coincidences. Instant sexual attraction, a common business interest, and an oopsie baby convince him he’s found the woman of his wildest dreams in Sahara Whitney, even if she has lingering doubts. A self-inflicted shotgun wedding offers the perfect recipe for happily-ever-after, but the honeymoon ends before it begins when Sahara suspects an ulterior motive-that their trail of clothing to the bedroom leads to Russian spies, a French revolution, and Caesar’s assassination.

I found this book to be okay. It was a bit of a slow starter for me. The detailed specifics seemed to make it challenging for me to process. However, once I got into the flow, the storyline picked up as did my interest in the characters.
Sahara seemed to put a great deal of pressure on Trace to be perfect. To his credit, he tried to meet that demand. However, when she SUSPECTED something other than perfection she completely went off the rails.
You should judge for yourself. Just because I did not care for the total storyline does not mean that you would not enjoy the read. There were a coupleasure $€×y scenes in this rom-com book.

A cute little romance between 2 totally opposite people. Though it has a high feel good factor and enough realism for people to relate to, I could not fall in love with this story. The plot was a decent one though nothing very innovative.
All in all a so so read.

This is the 4th book I’ve read written by Mellanie Szereto; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I will definitely be reading more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

The last always dictates your future whether you want it to or not. Trace saves Sahara from a groper. They connect from the start, enjoy each other’s company and have hot sex. Trust is an issue for Sahara. Can she believe him when the truth comes out of we he be like all the rest? Hot steamy read with some family banter mixed in. Including Max lecturing Trace

Sahara is a restaurant owner with a string of bad luck romances. That is one of the things she is known for in the small town she lives in. Enter Trace, the sexy businessman who comes to rescue her. Does love and attraction at first sight really exist?

I was surprised it still worked out for Trace and Sahara. Sahara has very serious trust issues and Trace sounds too good to be true. While the two fell in love quickly, the plot is realistic. The conflicts are believable. This author always keep her stories as close to real life as possible. Very good story. [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
A creep who couldn’t take no for an answer is the kismet way for Sahara and Trace get to know each other. I loved the story, the characters, and crazy exploits that Sahara came up with.
Another great read in this series.

THis book has a lot crammed into it. I am not so sure if it 100% worked, but it was still a good read. I enjoyed the characters and the slight roller coaster of emotion that was going on. I would recommend it.

A quick story to read in the Love on the Menu…Extra Hot series. Sahara Whitney who is the owner of The Oasis Diner is a woman who has to learn to trust again. She meets Trace Dennison of Dennison Foods and they have an instant connection. There will be misunderstanding, trust issues, and romance. I enjoyed reading this book.

Another well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This one how Sahara and Trace work through a problem. Sahara owns a diner and Trace’s family is in the food industry when there is a misunderstanding between them they have to work out to make a life together.
I’ve read almost all of the Love on the menu series and some I liked mire that others. Thus one is my least favorite because there was no plot and it didn’t hold my interest. I’ve invested a lot of time in these books so I will definitely continue to read them. I think my favorite one was egging her on. Until next time y’all happy reading.

Sahara and Trace were so utterly hot! I love stories where the characters immediately recognize there is something special and then their relationship develops from there. Love how honest and upfront Trace was and understood Sahara’s apprehensions. I only wish there was an epilogue where we see how it all turned out.

This is another super read from Mellanie and a great addition to the series. It can be read as a standalone but having read the previous books and enjoyed them I would recommend them all. I really liked both Sahara and Trace they were really great characters and I enjoyed getting to know them.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and the beginning of the story left me wondering what was to come – would this be purely about sex or would there be a storyline? I was very pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the story, the characters, and the humor.
While Sahara has been mistreated by men in the past and she is trying to work past that, it wasn’t brought up to the point of being annoying. I absolutely fell in love with Trace and his son Max – where do I find a Trace for myself?
This was a great story and I plan to read more books by this author. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
