Nicci's book, Love Caters All is a fun read and I loved every minute of it.
When
hard-driving CEO Rick Nordan arrives in Lobster Cove under strict orders from
the family doctor to take a break, he discovers the rental house comes with a
family attached, including one sexy dynamo of a caterer. She's nothing like his
ex-fiancee who wouldn't sign a pre-nup, but maybe that means she's the real
deal and not a gold digger.
Maya Cruz wants life for her widowed mother to get easier by renting out her house during the summer. But teaching Mama business means explaining Rick isn't a "guest," he's a "customer." And the first thing Mama does is invite Rick to join their family activities. Having Rick around wouldn't be so bad if Maya didn't find him so attractive. The last time she fell for a vacationing millionaire, she had her heart broken.
She swore off his type, and he's not looking, but this might be a recipe for love.

Excerpt:
“Doc made
me unplug. Ordered me to read books. Even went so far as to write out a
prescription.” Rick reached in his pocket.
She took
the paper he’d retrieved and read it. Sure enough, their website and the words,No
electronics, read a book were scrawled on an Rx sheet in Doc’s handwriting.
She handed back the note. “I’d recognize Doc’s penmanship anywhere.”
“Penmanship!”
Rick grinned. “You can see from Doc’s chicken scratch, if I had to rely on the
Internet for entertainment I’d be out of luck. It’s old-fashioned bound-paper
for me this week.”
“I love
books. In our library, you’ll find the classics, westerns, and some spicy
romance.” Maya thought she’d just toss the last genre in there to see how he’d
react. He grinned. Her stomach fluttered. This man was nothing like the
conceited ass she’d dated last summer. Both men might be rich, but they were so
different.
“History, biography, and a Bible.”
“Will
there be a quiz?”
“Only on
the romance.”
His laugh
was so sensuous she could roll in it.
“I really
need to dry the floor. I’ll get a rag. Excuse me.”
Mama
passed her at the hall closet. “We should invite Mr. Nordan to our party
tomorrow.”
Oh no.
Rick was going to meet the gorgeous twins before Maya even had a single date
with him.

Lobster Cove is a fictional small town on
the coast of Maine, near Bar Harbor. It is quaint and quirky with a colorful
history, a friendly population of charming residents, and a vibrant tourist
