Book Review: Three Strikes and You’re Mine, by R.S. Grey


 Quirky, funny and adorable!  Chloe is a pastry chef who lost her job in a restaurant and got this job taking care of a house in the Hamptons.  The owner arrives unexpectedly for the summer with his daughter and it turns out he’s Luke Allen, retired pitcher of the New York Pinstripes.  With no reason for staying, she pitches a deal to be their chef.  Once they try her food, both are convinced so she stays.  I have to say I was hungry all the time while I read this book.  All the delicacies and the breads and the desserts had me drooling!


Although initially they tried to keep a distance between employer and employee, little Harper broke all the boundaries, getting attached to Chloe. The chemistry between Luke and Chloe was irresistible!


Chloe and Luke’s attempts at keeping a distance were the source of most of the funny moments, since Chloe usually went ga-ga when Luke was nearby.  Chloe’s reactions to what was happening around her is the source of all my chortling while reading this!


The author wrote a book that was engaging and entertaining, writing a Chloe that has clumsy moments, word vomit, and outstanding talent in the kitchen.  Whoever said the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach hit it in this story!  Luke is an unassuming man, no ego in spite of being a talented and famous athlete, and little Harper was intelligent and caring and loving.  You could tell she needed a woman in her life and Chloe was it!


Secondary characters were fantastic! I loved Chloe’s riotous Italian family and Luke’s super active sister, Tate, who could run nine miles and keep a conversation.  She’s fun and supportive.  Can’t wait for her story!

The best part about this book is that it’s a small town romance, and I love this trope.  Everyone knows everyone else’s business, gossip tra...
