Extra cheese with a side of Oliver, please.
Thanks to my ex, I’m finally going to take that much needed vacation.
My job doesn’t require an office. Top on my list for this getaway: the beach.
Not on the list: the H-O-T owner of the pizzeria.
My plans were easy. Write, soak up the sun, and drink a few of those girlie drinks with the little umbrella and a couple of cherries.
Then Oliver spun … umbrella and a couple of cherries.
Then Oliver spun the pizza dough and flashed those turquoise eyes in my direction and I was lost.
Maybe it’s time for a new plan…

New Love – New Start! This is about Ainslie and Oliver. Ainslie has caught her boyfriend of two years with a blond wrapped around him in their bed in their home. So, what does she do – well what any sane woman would do – LEAVE town! She decides she needs a break and new atmosphere, so she decides to go to Wilmington to a beach cottage and leave Michigan behind her. Staying there for a month should help her with the ordeal she just went through, but now she has met Oliver. Oliver is the owner of Extra Cheese pizzeria and instantly had sparks when greeting Ainslie. He has always focused on his business, so women were always a second thought nothing more, but meeting Ainslie and then seeing her in a green bikini just out did him. They ended up on a couple of dates and it take off, but will she stay there, or will he move to Michigan? This was too cute and I love her BFF – even though I thought she was moving!

Ainslie is taking a much needed vacation at a beach house. Relaxing and working on her blog are her focus after leaving her messed up life at home. She never imagined she would meet a man like Oliver. He is kind, caring and makes her believe men are not all bad.
Can she give him a chance to prove that sometimes a vacation become a new start?

Oliver and Ainslie have an immediate attraction, but it takes awhile for love to develop. Ainslie has been hurt, having walked in on her boyfriend cheating on her in her own bedroom. She flees to North Carolina, thankful she has a job that allows her to be mobile. Oliver owns a pizzeria in the town where Ainslie lands. While both are attracted, they take things slow. Casual meetings lead to phone calls to casual dating to finally a relationship. Slow and steady wins the race. Oliver and Ainslie put in the time and work, soul searching, and making some hard decisions. But reaching their HEA makes it all worthwhile. Slow, sexy, sweet, and fun, this is a great read.

This is a great start to a new series by Terra Kelly. If this is the first book you read by her, you get a glimpse of the sweet, funny, and sexy stories she writes. Ainsley meets Oliver when she’s at a crossroads in her life and I love that she didn’t immediately rush into another relationship right away. The story develops organically. They’re sweet and funny and we get glimpses of other characters that add to the story.

Stay Right Here is a charming, feel good story. Ainslie and Oliver are an adorable couple. Both are very sweet and caring individuals that have great chemistry.
I loved the people that make up the community of the little beach town they’re in too.
If you’re looking for a fun, lighthearted read that’ll leave you smiling I’d recommend giving Ainslie and Oliver’s story a try. (4.5)
Ainslie finds her boyfriend and some blonde together in their bed. She needs a change – NOW – so she rents a beach cottage in Wilmington, NC for a month. She’s a fashion blogger, so she can work anywhere she has an internet connection. While out to lunch with a client/friend, she meets Oliver, owner of Extra Cheese, local pizza parlor. She’s just his type, but she’s not ready to get out yet. I enjoyed this book, a nice afternoon read and a terrific start to this new series, a sort of extension of the author’s Man Card books. Ainslie and Oliver have great chemistry, even if she’s not ready to admit it right away. I love the story about the name of his pizza place. One thing that I really liked was them cooking together. And I want to make those orange sweet rolls!

Sometimes something really great can come out of a bad situation. Ainslie unfortunately caught her boyfriend with a blond in their bed. Although getting rid of a dirtbag like that is a good thing, she decided that, as a blogger, she could work pretty much anywhere. And a change of scenery would do wonders for her. Her thoughts go to Wilmington, North Carolina, where she can enjoy the warm weather, the beach, a few drinks with little umbrellas that make them taste better, and a month to relax under the sun.
One of the best attractions and totally unexpected was at the local pizza parlor, where Ainslie meets Oliver, owner of the popular pizzeria, Extra Cheese. Though neither was looking to start anything, it just felt right as they got to know each other. Grab your copy and enjoy the fun and sincere relationship that develops as Oliver and Ainslie slowly find the trust and caring they didn’t have to even work hard to find. Will he convince her to stay when her month is over?
The only thing I’ve discovered that I hate about Terra’s books is that I’m always craving food by the time I’m done! This is no exception! Must have (orange) cinnamon rolls, even if it is pre-made dough.
As for Ainslie and Oliver’s story, I loved it! They are relatable with common issues. They are sweet and kind and completely insatiable. The supporting characters are also wonderful (exes excluded). Fantabulous! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

The story line was good, the character work was fantastic and the book had a smooth flow. This was a quick, fun read that had me laughing several times. This is the first book by this author that I’ve read, but it won’t be the last. I can’t see what happens in the next book.
