The second book in the series brings Harry and EJ’s story. The author brings a strong , hot and caring man and a strong independent woman , gives them a hot chemistry and fiery relationship with some hilarious bantering and weaves a sweet,sexy and fun romance. The heated dirty talk is truly luscious!!
The author brings the story to life with her detailed writing and vividly painted scenes. I loved and would recommend this book.

I am so in love with this series! Harry has had a thing for Ej for so long but after the DFH, he backs off until she comes to him with a business proposal. Things heat up pretty quickly between them. EJ has had a crush on Harry since college. But she doesn’t do relationship ‘s. I loved this book and I think Harry is almost the perfect man. Who wouldn’t call for him lol. This book has so much to offer. Friendship, stress, laughter and so much love. I can’t wait to read the next in this series!

Luscious is book 2 in a great new series from Melissa Schroeder. It is Harry & EJ’s story. We get a few quick references to a date from hell between them in the first book so it is good to find out what actually happened and to see if they can overcome it. I love how strong & independent EJ is while at the same time somewhat scared and vulnerable. At the same time Harry knows exactly what he wants and will be patient with EJ because he knows she is worth it. The question is can he convince her that she is? This is a wonderfully sexy story I highly recommend and I cannot wait for the 3rd book.
Harry Bradley! What a man! Between his sweet noble side and his dirty alpha side, full package for me. EJ has had a rough ride for most of her childhood thanks to a crap father. Her mother and gun totting grandmother well and truly made up for it. Beautiful story, I fell hard for Harry. Perfect blend is this story. Brilliant addition to this series.

I loved this romance. Fun, emotional, sweet and spicy, EJ and Harry’s story was simply delightful. The storyline was entertaining and easily had me swept up into it and fully invested in the couple. I felt that this couple’s attraction and chemistry was intense and electric. Drama, humor, tension and lots of emotions power this enjoyable read.
I loved the story of EJ and Harry. I loved that you were given both points of view in this story. I loved the fact that the Harry and EJ had friends and/or family that they could depend on to help them reach their HEA. I liked that the characters were not one-dimensional and not perfect.

This is EJ and Harrys story.
We met these two in the first book in the series Delicious, Harry is the brother of EJ’s best friend who we know as Sunshine that is Ed’s name for her, Ed is one of Harry’s business partners in the cupcake shop. Ed and Sunshine are the main characters in Delicious. This book is almost double in content then Delicious. Harry and EJ have a long road and they fill the pages well. There is a friendship built due to all of the friends proximity between EJ and Harry. They have gone on one date it is quoted as the date from hell. The chemistry the attraction the passion is all there it’s that their personalities are so similar they clash. Harry takes care of all of the business portions of the cupcake shop, EJ owns a romance book store. They come together with a promotional idea that benefits both stores. We have hostility, jealousy, passion, humor, forgiveness, loyalty, friendship, understanding, hot and dirty talk and when they finally get naked whoa wstch out keep the fire extinguisher handy with that we have a HFN.

If you want a sweet love story, Luscious is a great read. The two main characters Harry and EJ are a match made in heaven. Their bumpy beginnings are so worth their HEA. Luscious is the second book of this series, and had become one of my favorites. Melissa Schroeder always develops a world readers can slip away too.
From the concept, to the characters, to the storyline, what’s not to love. Melissa Schroeder gots something special going on with her Camos and Cupcakes Series. The second book of the series, Luscious gives readers the icing on the cake on with an emotional, fun and sexy read. Harry and EJ are decadent together.
Harry is one fine Texas man. What can I say, Harry is giving all my favorite Santini men a run for their money. Charming, a smile to stop you in your tracks, and a mouth you never see coming. Smart, caring and as Harry says his momma raised him right. He’s charismatic and full of personality. Harry is fun character.
EJ is a spit fire of a southern belle if there ever was one. She’s strong, independent and in control of her life. Seeing love fail first hand has steered her clear. Being the owner of a romance only bookstore is kind of a contradiction to EJ’s way of thinking. In EJ’s mind happily ever after‘s are for books not for life.
Harry and EJ shared an evening together months back that they both referred to as the date from hell. It may have been a date from hell, but their chemistry and their bodies didn’t agree with that. Fast forward to the present and you’re both trying to fight the crush is a decade in the making and what chemistry is doing to them. I love the dynamic between Harry and EJ. The back-and-forth banter between these two is downright hysterical at times. As they give into the chemistry that’s when the emotional side of the story comes into play. They are explosive. Hot doesn’t even begin to discribe what these two do to each other. When one doesn’t want to believe in love and then realizes they’re in love that’s some emotional turmoil in the making. The way Harry stands by EJ, shows her support and is there for her, even after a heated argument shows what kind of man Harry is. Even if he does do the man thing. Men! EJ learns for herself what love can be and is. Slow Harry help pull away some of those layers of hurt and replaced them with happiness.
Luscious is what I love in my romance reads. Fun and sexy. Emotional and heated. Good characters with great personalities. Harry and EJ will knock your socks off. Bold and brazen and a healthy dose of dirty talk. You will love Harry by the time you read the end. Luscious is just that, a truly luscious read!
Warning: This book will trigger your need for something very sweet.
What’s not to love about an all romance book shop with a cupcake shop across the hall? Strong female characters as well as some sexy military men who bake and cook. I mean really what else is needed? I found this book funny, entertaining, and very sexy. I loved Deliscious and can’t wait for the next book.
I’ve read many of Melanie Schroeder’s books and I should’ve known just how good this would be but she still always manages to blow me away. I haven’t yet read the 1st book in this series but I will – even though this book, like all her books, shines as a stand alone. LUSCIOUS checks all the boxes for me: main characters who are smart, complex, flawed and passionate. You can’t help but fall in love and care about them. The supporting cast of characters add depth to the story filled with all sorts of clever dialogue – between characters, internal, and where Harry and EJ are concerned – speaking directly to the reader. The sexual tension between Harry and EJ builds and burns and provides the hotness Ms. Schroeder’s fans love. And I am a fan and this one is a Winner. Again.

Harry is the business end of the Camos and Cupcakes bakery. His sister is goofy engaged to his partner, the baker. E.J./Elliana is his sister’s BFF who owns the romance bookstore across the way. She and Harry had “a date from hell” last year and they don’t speak much. E.J. has some cross promotional ideas that she would like to run that includes their businesses and a local winery. So, under the guise of business, they start spending time to get to know each other. Nicely written and very enjoyable read.

Luscious is the story of lickable former soldier, now partner in a cupcakery, Harry Bradley and his sister’s best friend EJ. I adore EJ. She is smart, driven and confident in everything but love. Harry reminds me of my husband so much. Patience can be sexy. I thoroughly enjoyed watching these two find each other and come together. This is a sexy, fun read that will leave you with a smile on your face and in your heart.
