Buns is the third book in the Hudson Valley series. Each book can be read as standalone but they are all connected by best friends and the city of Bailey Falls. I read the previous two books and I loved them but I can say that Buns is my favorite! Clara's two best friends have fallen in love while in the Valley but there is no way she will be. Nope. She will not fall victim to that four letter word. Ever. She loves her independence and job too much to settle in one place. But she never tasted buns like this before...

Archie Bryant didn't want her here. It was his father's idea to bring in an outsider to bring this place back to its glory days. The days of royals, businessmen, and family traditions. The Bryant Mountain House is a beautiful hotel that has been in the Bryant family for one hundred and fifty years. It's full of antiques, fireplaces, and amazing views. It's old-fashioned, rich with traditions, and it's Archie's world. And now, a bossy, little spit-fire from Boston was in his world trying to take over. He wouldn't let her. His family name, employees that are more like family, and his soon to be hotel was way too important to him. He hated that she was there but what he hated more was when she was right. And he downright hated it when he wanted to kiss her bossy mouth. Yep. There is a fine line between hate and lust and he was going to be crossing it. A lot.

Clara loves what she does even with a jackass fucking with her on every move. She had to get through to Archie. The damn good-looking son of the boss that killed her with his damn sexy freckles and pocket square. He didn't see that she wasn't there to help. She want there to ruin his traditions or throw out his antiques. She was there to bring life into the hotel. New clientele. To save him money. To bring modern twist to this gorgeous hotel. What she didn't expect was this hotel boy turning her life upside down in the process.

I loved, loved, loved this book! I just get hooked into a great hate/lust maybe even turned love rom-com. And Alice Clayton is the queen of them. I love Archie and his damn freckles and smart-ass and at times filthy mouth. It's those men with pocket squares that you have to watch at for. Yum! And Clara...she is something fierce with her sassiness and bossiness. Together, it's explosive in every way! They each have their own baggage to bring into this thing. They didn't want to bring it with them because there is an expiration date. What will happen when that date hits?

Overall...I loved every minute of it!! It's hilarious, sexy, beautiful, and surrounded by amazing views. I am not sure if this is the end of the series. I hope not, but if it is, it ended on a high note. It was so much fun seeing the Hudson Valley gang again.

Quotes:

“Where are the guys in overalls shoveling in the coal?”
“Aren’t you being a little bit dramatic?” he asked as he consulted a hand-drawn map on the wall.

“Is it common practice to stick a guest two miles away from the next one?”
“You seemed like a girl who’d enjoy some . . . privacy.”
“Do I also seem like a girl who keeps bread crumbs in her pocket? Because I practically have to drop them to find my way back each night.”

Next Winter Olympics you’ll see me representing the good old US of A. The event? Speed skating.

Buns was just amazing!! I loved Clara and Archie and all the banter back and forth between them. We are also hit with some pretty emotional stuff and in the end it is so amazing to see these two come together and work through everything that was holding them back. This was such a great book, I didn't want it to end.

More good times from Alice Clayton! I love her books, but admit the previous book in this series didn’t quite do it for me, so I was a tad worried about Buns. Thankfully, there was no need to worry, because I had a great time with it!

We knew this was coming. First Roxie fell for Leo’s nuts, then Natalie swooned for Oscar’s cream. Now Clara is all over Archie’s buns.

It’s a lot of fun with these two, especially when they butt heads. Archie can be pretty uptight when it comes to his family resort, and has a hard time with Clara coming in and making drastic changes. Just give her a damn TV, Archie! 😀 I love the antagonistic dynamic they have, even when they are getting along and like each other. And the sexual tension is on point!

The banter and humor is entertaining and what I’ve come to love about Clayton’s books. They play off each other really well. And of course, it’s especially amusing when the whole gang is together. I really like seeing more of the friends interacting and all their craziness. I’m looking at you, Natalie!

I love the setting so much! The Bryant Mountain House gives of Dirty Dancing vibes. Don’t tell Archie I said that! It’s true, though, I would so stay there. Luckily, Alice added a note to the beginning of the book talking about the real place that inspired this fictional one. I need to go!

So, yeah, Buns is definitely an amusing book that will leave you with a smile. The books technically don’t have to be read in order, but it’s always better if you do.

Having read both "Nuts" and "Cream of the Crop" by Alice Clayton, which are the first two books in this series, I can say I am a fan. Going back to Bailey Falls where it all started, meeting the third member of the trio of girls and meeting another handsome stranger? I'll take it! In "Bun" we meet Clara Morgan who is in the hotel business. Not the actual business of running a hotel, but in changing them of the better. She arrives at her newest overhaul and gets some serious push back from the owner's son. Did I mention that this is a handsome, stubborn man?

Archie Bryant wants his family business to stay like it has for more than 100 years. Elegant, historic...but to Clara - that means boring. She doesn't want to make the Bryant Mountain House into something it isn't...she just wants to make it better.

Archie and Clara both have secrets in their past. Secrets have a way of getting out. They['re not bad secrets or even life altering secrets - just the heart breaking kind. Can these two stop being so stubborn and see one another for who they are? Will they find a way to one another? This, the latest in the Hudson Valley series, is a fun read!

I really liked this contemporary romance between Clara Morgan and Archie Bryant. Their story was a great addition to the Hudson Valley Series. They are great characters and the storyline caught and held my interest. I love the Hudson Valley setting. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a copy of the book in return for an honest review.

Alice Clayton always knows how to bring the funny and the feels, which I really appreciate when it's the end of the school year. I adored Clara and Archie and I thought they were just perfect for each other, even with all their histories. I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the first two books in this series or the Wallbanger series, but a lot of that probably has to do with the stress of work and the fact that it took me a week to read it because of adulting (I normally read Clayton's books in a day or two).

What stuck out to me the most in Buns is the relationship between Clara, Roxie and Natalie. I love that Clayton adds those strong friendships into her romances. It makes everything that much better when the heroine has good friendships. I also enjoyed being up in Bailey Falls. Clayton's small town had me wanting to live there an meet all these interesting people.

4 stars!



Clara Morgan makes her living rebranding hotels on the verge of closing. It’s a job she’s wonderful at and it’s given her the stability she never had growing up. Clara is tasked by her boss at a classic hotel in Bailey Falls, The Bryant Mountain House. Upon arrival Clara finds the owner is thrilled to have her there, but his son Archie is not. Clara finds she must prove herself to Archie, that she has the best interest in his hotel at heart, no matter how much he resists her.

The longer Clara stays in Bailey Falls, the more she grows to love the place. And the more time she and Archie spend together, it’s hard to deny an attraction between the two of them. But both of them have a past that can interfere with their future, not to mention in a way Archie is Clara’s boss. It’s up to them to decide whether or not they will let their issues get in the way.



Alice Clayton never fails to make me smile. I’ve read every single one of her books, and I love the anticipation of a new release by her. Will it be funny? Or angst? Or sweet? This book was all three! From the moment I began reading until the very last page I was enamored with the story and these characters. I feel like Clara is unlike any character we have seen by this author, and I loved that Clayton tackled a more sensitive subject with this characters past and did it in a way that’s accurate but tactful.

I thought Archie was great as well, I wish we had delved a bit more into his past, maybe developed him a bit more. But what I loved most about him was he was the perfect counterpart to Clara, knowing when to push and when to let things go. His heart and soul was in that hotel and he wanted to save it, so while he may have fought change, ultimately he wanted what was best for his family legacy and those he employed.

This is a great hate to love story about two people who weren’t looking for each other, but found each other. Oh and if you are wondering about the title, it refers to hot cross buns sold by the hotel. And Archie may have had some buns too…….

Absolutely perfect! 5 stars!

Oh, I love, love, love this book! Smart, funny and gorgeously romantic with wonderful characters, great dynamics and childish (but still very adult) innuendos and humour, it is everything that I love about Alice Clayton. It’s my favourite of the Hudson Valley books and finishes off the series beautifully!

Clara is the third in a trio of girlfriends whose stories make up this series. After a difficult childhood, her career is now her life and she is the best at what she does – rebranding and rejuvenating struggling hotels. Her job keeps her moving around, which is exactly the way she likes it as she desperately avoids putting down her own roots and keeping clear of any kind of personal attachment (apart from her beloved girls of course).

Her latest job brings her to Bailey Falls – the town where her two friends Roxie and Natalie have unexpectedly found the loves of their lives. She is working at the historic and prestigious Bryant Mountain House which badly needs to be dragged into modern times, but while most people are welcoming of her presence, the son of the hotel’s current owner and the man destined to run it one day, Archie Bryant, wants nothing to do with the woman coming in to trample all over his family’s legacy.

The scene is set for an epic battle of wills, and OMG I loved every moment of it!


“I forgot a detail I read in your file. Won’t happen again.”
“My file?”
“You don’t think I’d let my father hire someone to turn our entire world upside down and not do my due diligence to make sure she’s qualified, do you?”
My eyes boggled. “A file. You’ve got a file on me. Wow.”
“Wow?”
“Wow as in, dude, that’s weird.”
No his eyes boggled. “Dude? Did you just call me dude?”
“Dude, I also called you weird. How did you miss that part?”


The banter flies thick and fast as Clara and Archie clash over absolutely everything! He doesn’t want her there, and he makes no secret of the fact, arguing constantly with her and making her job so much harder than it needs to be. But underneath it all is a simmering chemistry, and when Clara learns that her nemesis used to be different before the tragic death of his wife years earlier, she starts to see him as human and things begin to change.

The shift from enemies to sort-of-friends-who-madly-lust-after-each-other is really well done, with lots of sweet moments, funny moments, and sizzling sexual chemistry. You can feel the want that builds between the two of them, and the pacing is fantastic as they feel it all but don’t rush into anything, and the emotion between them is beautifully explored.


“I wasn’t sure I’d even want to do this, after she was gone.”
“Listen, Archie, we don’t have to--”
“Until you, Clara,” he interrupted, his eyes flashing open and searing into mine. “I want you I fucking want you more than I ever thought possible.”


And as the flirting, teasing and innuendo reaches boiling point, it’s hotter than all hell as they decide to just go with what they’re feeling, for however long they are able to have it.


“I’ll have to go away one day. And I don’t know what will happen then, which makes me so fucking selfish for saying this, but I’m going to say it anyway. I want you. For as long as I can have you.”


I just love these characters. They both have pain in their past, and Clara has walls around her, but they are open about what’s happening between them and I love that they throw themselves right in there. And in typical Alice Clayton style, there are lots of laugh-out-loud moments, the dialogue is spot-on, and the romance is easy, natural and believable.

But Clara’s walls are tall, and she is only in town for a limited time. Will she be brave enough to accept what she is feeling and follow her heart, accepting that the gorgeous widower and his mountain – and all that comes with that - are the best thing that ever happened to her? Or will her debilitating fears keep her running?

This book is such a great read. It’s fun, romantic and beautifully emotional. I could understand and empathise with both Clara and Archie and their struggles to let the other in, and I was completely swept up in their developing love story. There’s a bit of angst but it’s well handled and resolved well, and the book finishes in a great place.


You’re here and I’m here and we’re here and this is so much more than enough because it’s everything.


There’s lots of time spent with the characters from previous books of the series, and I loved catching up with all of them. There’s progression for both of the previous couples, and seeing the full group all together is a real treat. And Clayton fans will love the cameos from both of her other series.

I also really enjoyed the HGTV-esque storyline of the hotel, which was entertaining and interesting, and was woven into the story perfectly without overpowering the romance (and the Dirty Dancing/Kellerman’s references were awesome!).

I loved everything about it, and couldn’t put it down. I laughed and I swooned, and I fell in complete love with Archie. The romance is sweet, funny and passionate, and I finished this book with a huge grin on my face and hugging my kindle.

Absolutely fantastic! 5 stars!

When I saw Buns show up on NetGalley I immediately requested and started after I finished my current read. If you've been here and read my rave reviews for it's predecessors, you know that I was ready to go back to the Hudson Valley with some homegrown hotties. And I was not disappointed.
Buns follows the final friend in this amazing trio of friends. Clara has a bit of a darker past that she's constantly working on leaving behind. Emphasis on leaving behind. Today, she is an uber-successful hotel rebrand consultant. Archie is the son of the golden family of Bailey Falls who owns a beautiful but failing hotel. The sparks that fly between them are incredible. Total hate to love which I love to love. Their chemistry and sexual tension is fantastic and I was just waiting for them to both finally combust and find each other.

But Archie hasn't had the picture perfect past either. Fighting some demons of his own this was also something the two had to work through together. What I love about these books is that Clayton gives us drama and a hint of angst but it's realistic. It's not contrived or gratuitous but organic. I'm never sitting here rolling my eyes waiting for the ostentatious drama to end. I love this about her books and this series.

My other favorite part of this series is the setting. Clayton paints Bailey Falls and the Hudson Valley so perfectly that I want to book a vacation there myself! I love the imagery of the mountains and lake and small town feel. It's an incredible quality to be able to bring a place to life like this and I cannot say enough good things about this series and its setting.

My only complaint is that while I felt the conflict was organic, it did feel a bit long in the middle. Maybe just because I'm impatient for the HEA but it felt a bit repetitive in the middle and I was waiting to move on. Regardless of that, I still really enjoyed the book and would highly recommend this series to anybody who loves romance, snarky banter, and small town settings!

If you love small towns, snarky banter, and auburn men...this book is for you.

This author's writing is funny quirky and amazing. I forget sometimes she is a girl because I feel she is telling usbwhat men are thinking

I personally am fascinated by the process of remodeling or in this case a big project like rejuvenate a classic and traditional hotel. All the details that go into such a project are mind boggling. That’s one of the reasons I love remodeling shows, or read about main characters that flip houses for a living.

On top of that I was literally able to see the Bryant Mountain House in front of my eyes. A mix of the Dirty Dancing hotel and the East Coast landscape. A huge sprawling building, dozens of chimneys and balconies, a labyrinth of hallways, towers, wings, corners to explore. Glorious foliage trees that turn into a golden ocean as far as the eye can see. Winding roads, majestic mountains, small towns sprinkled here and there – the very opposite of California.

I was looking forward to returning to Hudson Valley. I’ve enjoyed the last two books and have been looking forward to immersing myself into a group of people that were just so much fun to read about.

In Buns (Hudson Valley #3) by Alice Clayton the old crew was back together plus cameos from characters from the Cocktail series. A BIG Alice Clayton get together.

Archie and Clara started out explosive. Clara was there to implement changes and Archie was stoutly against it. Of course those two would bang heads, no doubt about that. But it was fun to watch them go head to head, and later kiss and makeup.

Even so it was fun to watch, something was missing.

The something special!!

It hurts to say out loud, but I lost interest. Buns didn’t captivate me. Archie and Clara had wonderful chemistry and they were really sweet together. I just got bored after awhile.

Sometimes it’s really not an issue with the writing, plot, characters, or dialogue.

It’s just me!

I’m blaming myself.

I think I would have liked to go even deeper into the project of getting a hotel back to success. More details about how to work certain budgets, compromises, designs. How to overcome certain hurdles, find solutions, and witness progress.

But that’s just me.

I believe wholeheartedly that other readers will love this book!!!

It just wasn’t the right one for me.


The review will be published on May 20th on all platforms. I'll be updating the links at that time.

Another solid entry from Alice Clayton. Buns is the third in her Hudson Valley series. I enjoyed Clara and Archie's story, though at times I was thrown by the flow of the timeline and felt the transitions could've been a bit smoother. Overall though the characters were developed well and their backstory was clearly laid out. I loved the group interactions with Roxie & Leo, Natalie & Oscar, and Chad & Logan. Archie and Clara's chemistry built organically. I loved the. I bickering in the beginning and the slow burn of heat. Initially you think it's gonna be Archie that has the bulk of the issues, but really it was Clara who struggled the most. While I loved her friendship with her girls, it made me sad that they allowed her to run and hide from her feelings for so long. Like I said totally enjoyable read from a great writer.

Alice is usually one of the only RomCom writers I read. I don't tend to go for those that much but with her I will read them. This one however was very light on the RomCom scale for her usual books. I liked it a lot.

Archie has a hotel that he needs Clara to save. He has his way and she has hers. Hello sexual tension and all that hot arguing. I eat that stuff up like candy. I love enemies to lovers books. This is a stand alone but there are cameos from the characters from previous books. I like that part and I'm glad she did that for us.

I really recommend this for fans of the series. Buns is my favorite so far and I hope you pick it up!

LOVED this installment of he Hudson Valley series. I REALLY hope there will be more in the future so we can see where everyone is!

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for my review. There is no better steamy, chick-lit author than Alice Clayton, so I was excited to read her latest, Buns, and it did not disappoint! This is the third book in the series, but you didn't need to read the others to enjoy the story of Clara Morgan. She is hired to bring about some much needed updates to the Bryant Mountain House -picture a Dirty Dancing- style resort for the ultra rich. Not excited about any changes, is Archie "the Buns" Bryant. He likes the way things have been done in the past and is throwing up resistance anytime Clara makes a suggestion. Of course, this leads to resistance in more than one area, but a great writer like Alice Clayton, can untangle the sexiest knots! Fun read!

This ARC was gratefully provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

4 stars

Alice Clayton is one of a select few authors that I'd like to spend time with, preferably with plenty of alcohol and hijinks. She writes her novels like I think. Her phrasing comes straight out of my brain and I love it! Her books all make me laugh and enjoy my time away from my everyday life--they are a true diversion from the everyday. For that alone, I will always be a fan.

With this, the third in the series, she's continued to develop the Bailey Falls gang. Clara and Archie are good additions to this crew. At one point, I thought I needed to know a bit more of Clara's backstory and then I decided that it would have taken the story to a dark place and I further decided that I didn't want the story to go to a dark place.

A good, light and sweet story. Perfect summer read.

I really enjoyed this third book in the Hudson Valley series. Clara and Archie clash from day one. She's been hired by his father to renovate and modernize the hotel that has been in Archie's family forever. Archie is horrified by her suggestions and wants everything to stay the same. Clara and Archie have to learn compromise and somewhere along the way they fall in love. Witty, humorous, sweet, and steamy, Buns is a fun romance read!

Lately, I've read some contemporary romances that have been good but not great. They've just been a bit lackluster and left me craving a really great read. Buns was that really great read.

In Buns, Clara has been given the task of helping make Bryant Mountain House profitable again. She has all sorts of great ideas, but unfortunately the owner's son isn't quite on board. Clara knows she's right and is willing to do what it takes to make Archie Bryant see reason. When some of Clara's suggestions work, Archie realizes he needs to give her a chance in more ways than one.

Having read the first two books in the Hudson Valley series, I was pretty sure I was going to love Buns. As always, I loved Alice Clayton's witty writing. It wasn't as over the top funny as the previous books, but that didn't bother me. The amount of humor in the story went well with Clara's personality. There were still many hilarious moments, but there were also some serious and soul-searching ones. I loved how they balanced each other out.

Clara was a more serious character than her friends. She based her life on the achievements she wanted to complete. Clara had her two close friends, Natalie and Roxie, but other than that she was a lone wolf. She didn't see love or family in the future for herself. Her career was everything. That made her relationship with Archie come as a shock to her. It was fun to see Clara all flustered at the idea of a relationship with uptight Archie.

I adored Archie. He had a couple hang ups of his own, but for the most part he knew what he wanted. He put faith in all of the things Clara didn't. I loved how he dealt with Clara's fears, and didn't hold them against her. He was just a really great guy. I would have loved to get his perspective on the whole thing, but it wasn't necessary to the story.

Another really fun thing in Buns was getting to see some of my old Bailey Falls friends. Natalie will always be my favorite Hudson Valley girl, and she added some great moments to this story. I also loved seeing Chad and Logan again. I wish those two would get a book of their own! Oh! I can't forget this! Fans of Wallbanger will love a visit from our favorite neighbor and decorator, Caroline!

Buns was a great addition to the Hudson Valley series. It was so much fun to explore another part of Bailey Falls and get to know Clara and Archie. I loved the sweet romance wrapped in humor. Buns restored my faith in contemporary romances again.

This was the first book that I have read from the Hudson Valley series and I would say that this can definitely be read as a stand alone.

I loved the chemistry between Clara and Archie; their relationship starts at loggerheads but the sexual chemistry really comes through and slowly but surely they start to break each other down. This story was sweet and sexy and overall a lovely romance. I really enjoyed it would be happy to recommend it.

I was provided with a copy of this book from the Publisher via NetGalley; there was no inducement or obligation.

“You forgot a detail that I never mentioned?” “I forgot a detail I read in your file. Won’t happen again.” “My file?” “You don’t think I’d let my father hire someone to turn our entire world upside down and not do my due diligence to make sure she’s qualified, do you?” My eyes boggled. “A file. You’ve got a file on me. Wow.” “Wow?” “Wow as in, dude, that’s weird.” Now his eyes boggled. “Dude? Did you just call me dude?” “Dude, I also called you weird. How did you miss that part?”
Good start?” Yeah, that’s not how I’d describe these two and that isn’t even the first time they meet!
Clara Morgan is used to doing it alone. Her childhood is something she’d prefer not to reminisce about. She’s always been responsible for herself, always taken care of herself; she never thought someone with her background could ever live the life she’s currently living. Hotel restoration is her specialty and it takes her all over the country. This type of lifestyle isn’t one that ends with a house with a white picket fence, a husband, two-point five kids and a dog or cat. Nope, it’s on the go, living in a different place for months at a time and dealing with stubborn owners of hotels in desperate need of a rebirth but don’t want to admit. That’s no problem for Clara; she eats guys like this for breakfast. Until she come across Archie Bryant. His but the boss but not quite the boss and he’s giving her opposition at every turn…and turning her on.
Bryant Mountain House has been in Archie Bryant’s family for years and one day he will be the proud owner of this family run business. It may need a touch up here or there but in no way does it need to be bulldozed and rebuilt and with his father bringing in Clara Morgan, that’s exactly what will happen. Archie is sure she will take away all the charm, history and traditions his hotel has to offer. The more he and Clara butt heads over the direction the makeover should take, the more he finds himself wanting to get her naked.
Once again we find ourselves back in Bailey Falls but this time Archie and Clara keep us sitting the edge of our seats. These two give foreplay a whole new name. These two take more swipes at each other than two wet cats chasing the same mouse! It really is verbal foreplay and it’s amazing.
“Are you always this crass when you speak to a boss?”“My boss is your father, and he hasn’t made me nearly as irritated as you have.”“Ms. Bryant, let me tell you—” I held up my hand. “Stop. Literally, stop. I’d love to go another ten rounds with you on who’s got the bigger dick, but honestly—”“If that’s actually in question, then perhaps you have something to tell me that’s not visually apparent?”
Like her friends Roxy and Natalie, Clara is just as in your face. I have to say, I was very impressed with Archie’s flippantness. With his description I didn’t think he had it in him but that stuff shirt gave as well as he got. Once these two decided to give into their desires, there’s a major hurdle and that hurdle would be Clara herself. With her background, she has not clue how to open up, how to be a part of a couple, how to be dependent on someone else. She’s keeps secrets, she avoids things; the fact that she becomes so comfortable with Archie and gradually lets things about her past slip out, terrifies her; and when she’s afraid her walls go up stronger and higher.
While Archie tries to get beyond her walls he doesn’t push, he’s actually rather patient with (more so than I would be); but Archie has his own issues. Losing his childhood sweetheart Cancer, he too steers away from his past. He knows the more he asks of Clara, the more of himself he will have to give. When he finally decides to go all in Clara digs her heels in deeper.
While these guys were funny, there are some really heartbreaking moments. Listening to Clara relive parts of her childhood make you just want to crawl into the book and hug her. As much as she loves Roxy and Natalie, she’s not sure either of them will ever completely understand her.
“You can’t understand because until Leo came along, you didn’t give a damn about falling in love. You thought it was bullshit, that it was a waste of time, that it was for suckers. And you, Nat, you literally left a trail of men behind you, wasted in love with you as you moved on to the next guy. Now, am I pleased as fucking punch that you’ve found the loves of your lives? Of course, because you deserve it, both of you, I’m so happy for you, but neither one of you ever got fucking left in your life, and you don’t know what that feels like. You don’t, Roxie, because you never took a chance before Leo and you don’t, Natalie, because you made sure you never got in too deep with anyone. So neither of you were ever left behind, thrown out like trash, all alone. I have a job, a job that I love and is my life, my entire life. I won’t ever put myself in a position to be left again, which is why I can’t afford to fall in love, goddammit, so please, don’t push this on me, okay?”
And when she calls her friends….
…why the hell were my eyeballs leaking again? Did I get hot mustard in them? Without much though, I picked up the phone and dialed. I called Roxie, and she called Natalie. And we had a three-way. “You guys, something’s wrong with my eyes,” OMG, I found myself yelling at my kindle…”Go help her!”
If life hadn’t gotten in the way, this would have definitely been a book hangover. What I really liked about Clara getting her head out of her butt. Archie didn’t make it easy for her. He didn’t make it terribly hard but he didn’t make it easy either and neither did his or Clara’s friends.
Another home run for Alice Clayton!!
