"Responsibility" should be Nicole Keyes's middle name. After all, not many people would sacrifice their lives to run the family bakery and raise a younger sibling. But with Nicole's twin sister now blissfully married and her younger sis turning out more femme fatale than girl-next-door, super reliable Nicole is getting sick of putting everyone else's needs first! Enter Hawk. The deliciously sexy former NFL player offers Nicole a taste of the freedom she craves. Hawk may know the way, blindfolded, to her sweet spot, but Nicole's not about to let him get close enough to break her heart. Of course, she might not have a choice in the matter if Hawk's past keeps getting in the way of their present.…

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: I'm reading this book for the third time! This is, by far, Mallery's best book. I don't know if I just like sexy athletes or both Hawk's and Nicole's humor! He does some dumb things but they finally realize they are actually in love! Mallery writes the best (next to Rachel Gibson) for sexy, funny and touching books. This one makes you laugh, cry, and get mad! Keep 'em coming, Susan!

Summary: I like this series.....
Comment: I enjoyed reading about the three sisters and their bakery. They were each so different, so unique, but still there was love between them.

Summary: The Baker and Football Star
Comment: I'd really rate this a 4.5, but I couldn't give it a full 5 stars. This was my favorite book out of this series.
Nicole in the first book was really evil and bitter, although still funny and sarcastic at the same time. In this book, she's not so mean. She's reluctant to enter a relationship after catching her loser husband in bed with her younger sister, but when she meets retired NFL pro Hawk she doesn't stand a chance. They have a fun chemistry throughout the book. There's humor, drama, and love.
If you're wanting to get an update on Claire and Wyatt in this book, you'll be sadly searching for nothing much than tiny bits of barely anything. But since the 3rd book about Jesse takes place 5 years later you get a little update on all the sisters then.
Mallery must have this think with always needing a perfect character. In the first book Claire was too close to perfect for being human. And in this book the high school star quarterback, Raoul, whom Nicole takes in her home to take care of, comes across as a little too perfect. I really liked his character but he just seemed a little too mature for an 18 year old.
And the other slightly annoying part was that all the Keyes sister became pregnant at the same time out of wedlock ( which then push the realization of love faster for the guy they love who doesn't want kids). That tactic was a little over used.
But all in all, the book was funny and cute, and I really liked Nicole and Hawk together. It was fun to watch their relationship from the very first chapter and on.

Summary: Nicole Has Her Day
Comment: Okay, I have to say, Hawk is hot, and drawn very well in this book. You like him, probably fall in love with him, and even understand him.
Nicole is still Nicole, hard on the outside, still a little mixed up and needing love on the inside. She is angry with her sister Jesse, who she believes has done the unforgiveable in regard to Nicole's ex-husband.
Raoul, the high school quarterback who is homeless and tries to steal five dozen doughnuts for his team, appears to be the most mature of the whole cast of characters, and very loveable.
Brittany is a product of her environment, entitled and spoiled and selfish, but with some redeeming qualities.
This book could have gone in several different directions, but I like the way it went, with the exception of the baby. Also, for a woman who complained so much about being responsible for everything since she was a child, it was a little weird that Nicole ended up with Rauol and Sheila and more responsibility. Perhaps she has begun to realize the person she can be when she has the ability to make choices of her own?
The sizzling romance between Hawk and Nicole was cute. He's a tough guy, knows his own worth and his own attraction, and it never enters his head that he can't get around a woman like Nicole. She presents a challenge, one he feels he is up to handling, and he does. They fall in love, but to prove that he understands who Nicole is, Hawk gives himself several tasks which he must complete in order to overcome the gaff he made when he proposed publicly.

Summary: Great book!
Comment: I'll be honest, my experience with Mallery's books is that they are hit or miss. But this one is a DEFINITE HIT! Great characters (excellent hero!), interesting plot, hot love scenes. But the best is that it's unpredictable--the characters are like "real" people with flaws who make mistakes, etc. For example, the hero does something that would normally be considered really romantic--but it totally backfires. I'm an avid romance reader and I highly recommend this book.
