A fan favorite from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Sweet Spot and Sweet Trouble: “Smart, sexy romance doesn’t get any better than this.” —Debbie Macomber
Is there anything sweeter than first love?
Don’t ask Claire Keyes. The twenty-eight-year-old piano prodigy has never had a regular boyfriend, much less a real romance. Her music career has left little room for friends or family—which is just part of the reason she hasn’t seen the family bakery or her two sisters in years.
But now Nicole is sick, and Jesse is AWOL. Despite the fact that Claire can’t boil water, she’s determined to play caretaker. Connecting with her sisters tops her to-do list . . . along with falling in love, or at least in lust, for the first time.
Ruggedly sexy Wyatt just might fit the bill. Although he keeps saying that he and Claire come from entirely different worlds, he lights up hotter than a bakery oven whenever Claire is near. If this keeps up, she just might sweet-talk him into her bed . . . and her life.

This is more of a 2 1/2 star read for me.
I re-read this because I remember how much I enjoyed it when I first read it (when I was a teenager) and hoped it would live up to my memory, it didn't.
Whilst it was a page-turner, I very much disliked most of the characters, most of the time; a lot of the conflict felt like they were teenagers who couldn't talk out their problems and my biggest gripe was how her getting pregnant was handled.They had sex (nearly while he was drunk and she sober, Yikes), he gets mad she was a virgin and might get pregnant (no protection), they sort it out (barely), have sex again, she gets pregnant (no surprise) and he's mad that's she pregnant... like, what?...
I'll probably read through the others in the series to see if they hold up to my memory or not.
I do like Susan Mallery's writing style so maybe I'll enjoy her newer stuff more.
