Synopsis:

For the past year, Dru has put everything she has into building a catering business with her sisters. She’s so used to working until all hours of the night with them by her side, that when they both find love and move out, Dru decides to focus on something that has always weighed on her… finding the father who’d abandoned them.
For the past year, Mick has been living the good life. A content bachelor with his own business as a private investigator, he enjoys making his own decisions and answering to no one. When a couple of clients-turned-friends bring him in contact with Dru, his first thought is that he wouldn’t mind getting her alone for a night, but when she hires him, that spark is extinguished. Mick doesn’t mix business with pleasure.
When their lives become constantly entwined, Dru becomes more and more determined to get Mick to break his rules. Will they discover that even a seemingly perfect dish, can be made better with the right amount of spice, or are they too set in their ways?


Review:


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I am sad to see the series ending. I love Bethany Lopez's books and this one was not an exception. I have high hopes that another set of siblings we were introduced to in this book will get a series and in this way, we will be able to see more of the three sisters. They are all men, so I think it will be fun to see them fall in love. 

If I am not wrong, the timeline of A splash of vanilla, in the beginning, overlaps the timeline from the previous book, so some events might seem familiar to the people who have read A Touch of Cinnamon. If you have not read the previous books there is no need to worry since this book is completely a stand-alone. Keep in mind though, that since there is an overlap in the timelines this book has spoilers for the 2 other books, so if you plan on reading the series, start from the beginning. 

There is some slow burning between Mick and Dru because Mick has a rule that he is not going to date his clients and hence, she is off limits to him. The attraction is there though and thankfully we didn't spend more than half the book wondering when they were going to decide to be a couple. After that point, everything was great and I loved how Mick consulted Dru before making a decision that could have an impact on her without thinking that he could just cover it up. 

I didn't like the way Millie and Tasha reacted when Dru revealed everything to them. It was a human reaction, but Tasha was too angry for my liking. I wished the author had decided to spend a little more time on the sisters and how they came to terms with the revelation that they knew where their father was. 

Overall, the book was a delight. I will be sad to see the sister go, but at least all of them got their happily ever after. I will keep an eye for the author's next release since I love her books. A splash of vanilla was another winner for me! 



EXCERPT:

I shot a couple longing looks at Mick, who managed to make that suit look incredible, even though I’d just seen him in it at Tasha’s wedding. How come men could do that? Buy one suit to wear to every event, and get no flack, while if women got caught wearing the same dress repeatedly, it was like there was something wrong with her?
Why couldn’t I find the perfect dress … one that made me feel sexy, comfortable, and confident, and wear it to everything?
Stupid double standards.
I walked straight to the bar and ordered a Lemon Drop with the sole intention of getting drunk, and made a list of rules for myself.
You will not fawn over Mick.
You will not get so drunk that you throw up.
You will be the funny, fun, party sister, not the green with envy, bitter, crying in the corner sister.
And, again, you will not fawn over Mick. He made his policy clear, and I had too much pride to go after a man who didn’t want me.
