My Review:

Lucy and Tarq first meet in her family's diner and she makes recommendations on what he should eat.  They are both attracted to each other.  Lucy has a dream of owning her own diner with a husband and kids but first she will have to get away from her tyrant father and useless mother.  She finally takes off to visit her friend with Tarq in pursuit.  I'm never going to look at fried chicken the same again!  Lucy is caring and sensitive with a selfish family who don't appreciate her.

Tarq considers himself not worthwhile because he can't read. and he's offered his sperm to women in need.  He's never meet any of his children but once he's meet Lucy he decides to quit.  He teaches her how to let go and have fun.

Wow the sex scenes were very hot, well detailed, tender and plentiful. 

4/5

Thanks Sourcebooks for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!
