Feature and Giveaway: Just Desserts by Marquita Valentine


What an earl wants isn’t always what he gets…

British Billionaire and modern day earl of Spenserfield, Sebastian Romanov only wants one thing in life: To reclaim his position as president of Romanov Industries. But first he has to clean up his reputation to convince the Board that he’s a dependable bloke who’s willing to put the company above everything, including his personal life. Finally given an excuse to sort things out with his estranged twin brother, he boards a jet to Holland Springs, North Carolina, never dreaming he’d find the solution to his all his problems in the town’s sexy caterer, Daisy Barnes.

She’s going to serve him his just desserts…

Daisy Barnes, owner of The Sweet Spot, has plans. Plans that don’t include posing as some arrogant—yet sexy as hell—earl’s fiancée. But when unexpected insurance bills –to the tune of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars—from her mother’s unsuccessful battle with cancer come due, she’s forced to accept his offer and his money. Only problem for Daisy—underneath that cold exterior is a man that can set her on fire with just one touch.

As Sebastian and Daisy spend more time together, they find it harder and harder to not give into temptation. Soon neither can tell where the fake romance ends and true love begins…

    Ooohh...that's a difficult question for me. I love way too many desserts--and my body is showing it! If I were to choose something, I think a brownie with a scoop of ice cream is awesome!

    I'm gonna start drooling while I'm thinking of this: my favorite dessert. Actually, it's plural (desserts) because of my
    French grandmother's recipe for French Crème for all of her cream pies, for which she was famous. With this same basic crème recipe you can make banana cream pie, cocoanut cream pie, pineapple cream pie, strawberry cream pie, or any fruit you want to put in the cream filling. There is never a piece of pie left over even with a small group eating it. :-) jdh2690@gmail.com

    Cheesecake! I love making it and eating it! I love to share it with others and see the pleasure they get from eating something I've made. Many of my family members have egg allergies, so I have to be creative in order to get the full flavor one gets from a normal cheesecake.

    There are a lot of fellow cheesecake lovers commenting. I love it! :)

    Cheesecake lovers unite!

    I would have to say my favorite dessert was my sister Pat's homemade almond roca!!!! She has passed away so it is a distant memory, but it makes me smile when I think about it!

    I'm pretty simple. I adore toasted marshmallows. I've never understood why anyone would want to mess them up by adding chocolate and graham crackers to them. To me they are perfect all alone.
