Living in a part of the country that is inundated with apples, I could smell the apples baking along with a hint of cinnamon. And life is good when a recipe comes together, especially when it comes to love. Just the right amount of sugar and spice n a relationship keeps it going from the beginning to end. Hannah and Jesse spend most of their time sparring. That is until they tire of it. Cute, short story that will have you craving apple pie!

Jesse Appleton’s family owned Appleton Farm and he was in charge of the kitchen and the fried apple pie food truck. Hannah Porter was their new hire, a chef with ideas of her own. Somehow Jesse found it easy to argue with her, and it was fairly constant. Hannah had decided to try a new variation on the family recipe without first checking with Jesse and getting his approval. He did not take it well at all. But as he started to move the crates of apples out of the truck, she came back to him and apologized, admitting she should have shared it with him first. Then she asked if he had at least tried her version of the fried apple pie and he admitted he had not – because they sold out in 10 minutes! As he waited, she made one for him to taste. Jesse always stayed with the traditional, but Hannah let her enthusiasm lead her to having fun with the recipes. Working together, the two of them would probably be a great combination!
As they worked together, they realized that they were enjoying the experience. It was nice not to argue and scowl. The smiles really made a difference. And they can be creative in trying other recipes and changes. Each of them, with their “guard” now down, is realizing the attraction toward the other. Can something more develop between them? Is this the start of something new?
This was a cute story based on a simple adjustment in attitude and an open acceptance of change. It definitely made a difference in their approach to working together! Grab your copy and enjoy!
Great story about two people that work together while denying their attraction to each other. Hannah and Jesse are hilarious. I laughed a lot during this book. It made me very happy. Secondary characters are also awesome. Lots of feels and fun. Must read! Definitely recommend.

A Sweet As Pie Couple
Sometimes you can have your pie and eat it too!
Mr. Apple Pie is a great addition to the Man Card Series.
Hanna was a great character was unafraid to do was was right when it came to her job but she held her attraction to Jesse a secret. Jesse on the other hand loved to disagree with her at every turn and if he would just get his head out of his “apple” he would see what was if front of him all along.
Just loved the arguing to kissing to so much more.
Don’t miss out of this sweet as pie couple.

Another short and sweet romance in the Man Card series. The characters are strong with well developed characters and the story moves quickly and smoothly. It’s a fun and entertaining story and I enjoyed reading.

Another cute Man Card book. Jesse has always made the Apple pies and run the food truck for their Apple farm. Now that Hannah is back with her chef degree she is helping Jesse with the food truck. Hannah has always had a crush on Jesse so I guess that is why she puts up with his arguing with her. It is cute how the two discover there may be something more than arguing all the time! I enjoyed the book and encourage you to read it. I received a free book and voluntarily wrote a review.
Another quick read for the Man Card series. This one is about Jesse and Hannah who do not get along at first. Once these two stop arguing the chemistry is explosive. The storyline was entertaining and this has wonderful characters. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I really enjoyed this sweet and sexy fast paced read. Jesse and Hannah were great. This book was packed with humor, steamy attraction and banter. It is a great peak into the lives of the family Appleton. I look forward to more books in the series and plan to read the previous ones shortly. Wonderful HEA.

Ohhhh I enjoyed this one!! A short story by Terra Kelly. Another book in the serial Man Card Series.
These two heat up the kitchen. Jesse wasn’t sure he’d like someone making new recipes but when it happened he got more than he bargained for.
Cute! Sexy! And a quick read for any romance lover.
Highly recommended.
Creative short story, the characters are quite entertaining with their back and forth banter. Cute in how quick you can go from bickering to kissing in mere minutes. Liked the epilogue and the extended epilogue to give you a little more insight in how this couple ended faired together.

I totally love this series. The last 2 books have been a kind of sub-series as Levi and Jesse are brothers. There is a bit of everything here: frusteration, anger, emotional turmoil, family, passion, comedy. Kelly dud a great job of creating strong, balanced characters. Though the development was not quite as thurough as in some of her previous books, it did not detract significantly from the story itself.
Jesse ran a fried apple pie food truck for the family apple farm. Hannah was a new hire (a chef) that Janie (Jesse’s mother) basically made him hire. They argued constantly from the onset. When Hannah made a new recipe without checking with Jesse things erupted. Eventually Jesse realized his hot-head, argue first style was going to push Hannah away. Was that what he wanted?
As they became closer, the more they enjoyed each other. Would these two, once explosive people be able to work together amicably? Could it be more than that? You NEED to read this book (really #8 too, but the whole series is great)!

Hannah is a chef hired to help update the Appleton Farms recipes. She and Jesse spend months arguing and fighting, when they really have the hots for each other. Nothing in the way of controversy or issues to resolve. They just needed to step up and communicate their feelings for each other. Good ending!! Now it’s Autumn’s turn.
