Blurb
A sudden disaster strikes everyone’s favourite ice cream shop, With A Kick. Not only does it threaten the livelihood of its owner, Patrick, but also his loyal assistant Lee. The last thing in the world Patrick would ever want to do is hurt Lee, either physically or emotionally. Why would he? He’s been falling in love with Lee since the day Lee invited himself into the shop’s business and Patrick’s life. But familiar and deeply-held insecurities hold Patrick back – he’s too gruff for Lee, too old, and his labour-of-love business is never going to make him rich.
Lee is weary of trying to make Patrick see how much he admires and cares for him. To Lee, it’s a very straightforward situation. Patrick is sexy, Patrick is smart, Patrick needs Lee’s help – and Lee needs Patrick in his life as more than a boss. All the characteristics Patrick finds inhibiting, Lee finds attractive. However, if Patrick’s apparently never going to make a move on Lee, how long should Lee wait to make his own move? Maybe Patrick thinks Lee is too clingy, too immature. Maybe Lee should give up his romantic hopes completely. If, that is, he can bear to do it.
The disaster at the shop brings them a whole new opportunity to work – and love – together to make a go of things. They’ve both got to look at each other in a whole new way. With the help of all their With A Kick friends, this could be make or break for the reluctant couple!
REVIEW
My Rating - 5 Stars!
In Double Scoop, we are finally able to read about the owner of With A Kick, Patrick. I, for one, know that Clare London has left me waiting for this one!
Patrick and Lee. We have been rooting for them all along, assuming they both are attracted to each other, and waiting for something to happen between them.
Why the wait? Patrick couldn't imagine his younger employee wanting anything to do with him, as he's older and not nearly as good looking.
Lee always cheers Patrick up, as well as us readers. And, luckily, when tragedy strikes, Patrick is around and able to save Lee's life. In doing so, Patrick risks his own life, but doesn't even consider not doing so.
Of course, the whole crew of With A Kick make appearances and rally to help out Patrick and the Shoppe.
And, maybe, just maybe, Patrick or Lee will finally make a move.
Double Scoop is written with the same tone and style as the rest of this series. Clare London will not disappoint you with this one!
