BLURB:
Love wasn’t the daily special when a grumpy small-town baker delivers a baby in his bakery. Now, all he can think about is that sweet bundle and her tempting single mother.
Having a baby in a bakery gives new meaning to taking the bun out of the oven.
I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant.
The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, looking more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop . . . and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me.
We shared a moment but it’s not what you’d think.
Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.
Then he whips up a plan to pretend to be my baby’s father, and everything heats up from there.
My body.
My heart.
My willingness to accept a perfect stranger’s kindness despite him telling me over and over he isn’t who I think he is.
I beg to differ.
He’s that sugary drizzle on a citrus-flavored, guilty pleasure that’s bad for the hips, but together—him, and me, and baby—we’re the perfect blend of ingredients that might do all our hearts some good.

Review Copy Provided by Author
If you enjoy mature couples and a good redemption story, then LB Dunbar and Sterling Heat is the book for you. This is a book that introduces us to a new community and a new family, the Slyvers, and starts with the youngest brother Sebastian.
Sebastian has a history and baggage as he is making progress in rebuilding his life and his bakery. Then Enya literally stumbles into his life. I loved watching these two fall into each other and the magnetic connection that drew them together even when they both tried to resist.
Ms Dunbar does an excellent job of weaving the insecurities that both Sebastian and Enya struggle with into their interactions and creating the tension that will eventually explode between them. Sterling Heat would have been a compelling story if it ONLY centered around the emotional tug of war Sebastian and Enya were dealing with as they navigated dueling beliefs and desires. An intrigue element pushed this from compelling to interesting and a book that I couldn't put down!
As this is the first book in a new series, there is an element of world building here too. The secondary cast focuses strongly on the Sylver siblings and I loved the banter and support they provided. I am curious to see what adventures may be in store for them!
