Nothing Bundt Love is the latest release by Samantha Lind, and let me tell you it is fabulous! This book has the billionaire romance happening, the friends to lovers trope happening, small town romance, and it was all just SO GOOD!
In Nothing Bundt Love we meet Nathan and Harper. Nathan is a big tech mogul out in California, and his life was forever changed when he and his best friend sold their first app. Since then he's had an amazing career, but not such an amazing love life. As his Grandmother's 90th birthday approaches, she convinces him to return home to Sweet Valley to celebrate with her. Nathan has stayed away for almost 10 years, as he was in love with Harper. But he never told her. He never revealed that information, he just assumed it was a one sided deal. Flash forward a few days, and Nathan arrives in Sweet Valley. First stop for him is the local coffee shop. He immediately notices the beautiful woman working behind the counter, but does not know her name. Harper on the other hand immediately recognizes Nathan, and is taken away with how handsome he is. She's secretly hoping he will remember her, unlike back in high school. After all she's all grown up now, and she is a small business owner. She's making a name for herself, and she's content with her little life here in Sweet Valley. Or so she thinks. Nathan is talking to his Grandmother, and she tells him that Harper owns the shop now, and fills him in a little bit about what has gone on while he's been out west. Needless to say the next day Nathan goes back to the coffee shop, talks to Harper, and then asks her on a date. What happens next? A LOT.
This is my second book by Samantha Lind, and I really enjoyed Nothing Bundt Love. I'm actually eagerly anticipating Nothing Bundt Forever, but I didn't see an expected release date listed for that book. Anyways back to this book. I loved the small town setting, the fact that Nathan returned home for this big family event, and the fact that he fell hard for Harper. I also liked the fact that Nathan wasn't afraid to offer his assistance (whether just business advice or financial assistance). He wanted Harper's business to succeed. So I loved every little bit about all that. My ONLY issue with the book, or maybe it's Samantha Lind's writing, is that the big drama moment/moment of conflict that tends to happen in romance novels, didn't really happen. It was more of a little mole hill than a big thing. And I guess that just left me underwhelmed. I want to see my couples fighting for their relationship. I don't want them to just have an easy go. Yes, Harper and Nathan are located on opposite sides of the US. Yes they are both workaholics. Yes they are both driven. But honestly it felt as though Nathan got his way a bit. He could have easily moved his company to Sweet Valley, or opened up a regional office there. But it is what it is. I still loved the characters, the Sweet Valley setting, and the storyline. I just wanted the big dramatic moment. (Also, am I the only one who reads Sweet Valley and immediately thinks of the series by Francine Pascal? Or am I just aging myself?)
If you're looking for a new romance book to read that is 1) a quick read, 2) has wonderful characters, and 3) has that awesome small town setting, then go grab Nothing Bundt Love.
Thank you for reading my thoughts,

Nathan Bailey was the one that got away…or so I thought.
After leaving our hometown of Sweet Valley, Tennessee, for college, he never looked back….
Until ten years later, when he walked into my bakery.
The now billionaire tech-mogul is back in town and has his eyes set on me.
He's no longer the boy next door.
Tall, dark, and handsome, he's all man now
His sweet-talking is impossible to ignore; it's almost as delicious as my bundt cakes.
Can I take a chance on my first crush and hope he won't break my heart for a second time?
Until ten years later, when he walked into my bakery.
Tall, dark, and handsome, he's all man now
