Synopsis

“This book left me with a warm, fuzzy feeling – not to mention a growling tummy. “On Any Given Sundae” should come with a warning: May increase appetites for food and sex; don’t read while hungry. ?? Amazon Customer review.”
Nothing tops the sweetness of an unexpected love…
Elizabeth “Please Don’t Call me Lizzy” Daniels and Roberto “You’d Better Call me Rob” Gabinnarri grew-up together – their uncles Siegfried and Pauly ran a quaint ice cream shop – but they had little else in common. So when their uncles rush off to Europe for a month, temporarily relinquishing the reins of their ice cream shop to their respective niece and nephew, the unlikely pair tries to make the best of being stuck together.
Elizabeth is a small-town Wisconsin girl. Shy and inexperienced, especially at love, “Frizzy Lizzy” writes dessert cookbook and still resides in her quaint hometown of Wilmington Bay. She stutters painfully when nervous and is comfortable with her laptop and her tiny circle of cooking pals. Despite a pressing deadline for her next book, she rectantly agrees, even though it means overcoming her shyness and dealing with her childhood crush, Rob, who barely knows she exists….
Rob, a former football star and town golden boy, left after high school and never looked back. He returns to Wilmington Bay reluctantly, and is counting the minutes until he can escape back to the anonymity of his fast-paced, commitment-free city life, and his successful sports-themed restaurant in Chicago. Despite his charm and gift for the gab, Rob is intimidated by quiet, brainy girls like “Frizzy Lizzy,” and he doesn’t like being back in a town that still sees him as “that popular but dumb jock,” an image he worked for almost a decade to shed.
For Rob, home brings with it an Italian mother, bent on lining up potential brides. Rob doesn’t have the strength to stand-up to the formidable will of his mother, but then Rob has an idea – and it involves only a bit of family deception. Elizabeth reluctantly agrees. Neither Rob nor Elizabeth are used to playing games of pretense. Can love, hot summer nights and, maybe, some chocolate sauce, caramel and whipped cream…turn their farce into reality?

Goodreads review by Anu on March 18, 2016

Meh. Very meh. For a book that started off with a sexual innuendo, I did not expect the h to be a twenty eight year old virgin. But she was. I loved the food porn, but that's about all I loved. I strongly disliked the H, and the h was kind of pitiable. Please do not try to sell me a twenty-eight yea......more

This is one of those just all around feel good books that when you read the final sentence you say, "Ah." if not aloud...then in your mind. I also had a smile on my face and blurry vision. There is more than one romance to learn about in this small Wisconsin town. And two uncles are cast in the role......more

Reviewed By: Laci Review Copy Provided By: Author I absolutely positively ADORED this book. From beginning to end, it kept me grinning like an idiot, giggling, and biting my lip in anticipation at the characters.

Elizabeth was in over her head the moment her Uncle opened his mouth... She knew it but she didn't realize how deep until his business partner went to call HIS nephew... How could she deal with seeing Rob again after all these years?! When he moved away from their small Wisconsin town she figured sh......more

Goodreads review by Gina on July 27, 2015

I really didn't step to far out of my comfort zone, but after spending probably 6 months reading "mommy porn" bad boy rockers, MC Club books, this book was down right amazing to curl up and read. So I guess you can say I did step out of my comfort zone, because Marilyn's books are so beautifully wri......more
