Cream of the Crop
Cream of the Crop | Alice Clayton
24 posts | 28 read | 22 to read
New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Alice Clayton brings her trademark blend of funny and sexy to this second contemporary romance in the brand-new Hudson Valley series! Manhattans It Girl, Natalie Grayson, has it all: shes a hot exec at a leading advertising firm, known industry-wide for her challenging and edgy campaigns. Shes got a large circle of friends, a family that loves her dearly, and her dance card is always full with handsome eligible bachelors. What else could a modern gal-about-town wish for? The answer, of course, is...cheese. Natalies favorite part of each week is spending Saturday morning at the Union Square Farmers Market, where she indulges her love of all things triple cream. Her favorite booth also indulges her love of all things handsome. Oscar Mendoza, owner of the Bailey Falls Creamery and purveyor of the finest artisanal cheeses the Hudson Valley has to offer, is tall, dark, mysterious, and a bit oblivious. Or so she thinks. But that doesnt stop Natalie from fantasizing about the size of his, ahem, milk can. Romance is churning, passion is burning, and something incredible is rising to the top. Could it be...love?

“Yeah, sleeping in the country isn‘t all it‘s cracked up to be.”
I can totally relate to this passage! I am such a city girl!

Daisey As a country girl who has had conversations with city friends along these same lines, I am amused by this passage. 6y

Oscar wasn't really my cup of tea but I can appreciate the beauty he provided. Leo > Oscar any day

Hilariously naughty, this fast paced city girl in the country had me blushing and giggling! Her football star turned dairy farmer had me swooning too. Nothing too deep, but Hubba hubba! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

A break from all the horribleness.

samritch I thought this book was a lot of fun! Didn't realize it was the second book in a series, but I definitely would like to read the one before this! 7y
Matilda @samritch I loved NUTS! 7y

And now for something completely different!

Louise The most suggestive cover on Litsy today! 😂 7y
KilgoreTrout Hahahah @Louise ! Maybe I should have put a "mature" label on it! 7y
Louise @KilgoreTrout Rest assured, only the mature will understand the symbolism! 😆 7y

Really cute setting, Bailey Falls seems like a great place to live! I loved the voice that Alice Clayton wrote with. I also liked the idea of a dairy farmer as the main boo. However, I felt that there was little conflict to drive this story forward. #romantsy

Alice Clayton always puts a smile on my face 😊 This 2nd book of the Hudson Valley series is turning out to be just as wonderful as the 1st.

My alarm goes off in four hours but I just couldn't put this one down. Second in the Hudson Valley series and this time a plus-size heroine is featured. Like, proper plus-size (size 18 not a size 12), and she is as sexy af.

A great start to the weekend. I really love the body confidence the main character has. I doubt I'll ever have the same

Sexy, smart, sweet and fun! It was so nice to go back into the world of Bailey Falls. I'll eagerly be awaiting the next installment. One of my favorite parts about this series is Clayton's focus on food. These books are like literary food porn. (In the best way)

Starting this one on audio. Already a couple chapters in. I read Nuts last year and I adored it. Hoping the sequel is just as delicious. How great is this cover?!

susanw I read Wallbanger earlier this year and liked it. Good to know her other books are just as fun. 8y

I really did like Cream of the Crop, I just had an extremely hard time staying focused on it. Par to all Alice Clayton's novels, the character's are witty and enjoyable. But I just couldn't really get into it. With that being said, it was a good book, funny and well-written.

THE SLEEP, WE HATES IT. Time to begin the nightly battle. I actively dislike going to sleep - there is so much reading to be done! I know @OliverDepp is with me on this. 🚫😴

mauveandrosysky The struggle is real. 😪 8y
OliverDepp Dude- I feel you. I don't have work tomorrow so I am just not sleeping tonight and reading instead. It's murder mystery time. 8y

Trying to read more romance and this was recommended. I'm a vegan about to read about romance at a creamery - I'm already giggling at the thought of it. 💋🌡😳😂

Matilda I loved NUTS ! 8y
jetspins24 Wallbanger was ridiculous (in a good way) and so funny! Will have to check this one out. 8y
Shannonbee @Liberty Have you read KJ Charles? My new favorite historical romance author. She's brilliant! 8y

BestOfFates Haha, that looks hilarious. 8y
Chelsey I don't know. The idea of romance novels always makes me sigh and Picard palm. Maybe I'm still to much of a book snob. 8y

MissCarrieLou Not reading related, but I'm a vegan, too, & I work in a cheese shop. And do the email marketing stuff, too. Lolol...I've had a crisis of conscience more than once. 8y

Alice Clayton writes some of the funniest romances I've ever read. CREAM OF THE CROP comes out in July and I can't wait to start reading.

Matilda I've been waiting for this since Nuts!! 8y
ImAnAdult @Matilda The heroine is an advertising exec with a love of cheese. A woman after my own heart. Though I'd love to see the roles switched in the series with a city boy and country girl. 8y
