Abigail Kemp is not going to lose her family's bakery so when the city council tells her she must have a man's name on her deed, she's determined to find a way to make that happen...even if it means she'll have to ask a man to marry her and convince him to let her run her business her way. She decides on Zacharias Hamilton, the handsome bachelor who quietly comes into the bakery every morning for breakfast.
 Zach is dumbfounded when Abigail approaches him. He's been enjoying his bachelorhood and doesn't want to give that up, and yet, he's got a soft spot for a woman in distress, especially one as sweet and pretty as Abigail, and pretty soon, he finds himself with a wife who just might be perfect for him.
Although finding a husband should have solved Abigail's problems, things don't go as smoothly as she expected because someone still seems determined to cause trouble for her. But in Zach, she finds someone who is willing to stand by her--but can she also get him to love her?

Loved it. I love Abigail, who underestimates her worth because she thinks she's plump and plain, but who is determined to be successful in her business and is unfailingly kind to everyone. I love Zach, who doesn't even begin to realize what a catch he is and how his actions are exactly what Abigail needs to show her that she matters (I also have a soft spot for him because he's so attracted to Abigail, loving her imperfect figure, the very thing about her that she thinks a man wouldn't want). I love a man who is rough around the edges but has a heart of gold, so Zach was exactly the type of hero I wanted to read about. I loved seeing their relationship develop and how good they were for each other. I thought the plot was interesting and the themes were great but not overbearing. I love how Karen Witemeyer writes--she brings humor and great characters and great storylines together in books that are just a pleasure to read, and that was definitely the case here. Just a great book!
4.5 stars.
