Unrivaled {Review}

Unrivaled is the first of Siri Mitchell's books that I've read.  When I received it, I was really excited to read it, because the cover is beautiful!  And I did stay up a little too late a night or two because I couldn't stop reading!

From the back cover:

Lucy Kendall returns from a tour of the Continent, her luggage filled with the latest fashions and a mind fired by inspiration. After tasting Europe's best confections, she's sure she'll come up with a recipe that will save her father's struggling candy business and reverse their fortunes. But she soon discovers that their biggest competitor, the cheat who swindled her father out of his prize recipe, has now hired a promotions manager--a cocky, handsome out-of-towner who gets under Lucy's skin.

Charlie Clarke's new role at Standard Manufacturing is the chance of a lifetime. He can put some rough times behind him and reconnect with the father he's never known. The one thing he never counted on, however, was tenacious Lucy Kendall. She's making his work life miserable...and making herself impossible for him to forget.

I thought this was a really cute romance.  Although the romance aspect of the story was predicable, I thought Siri Mitchell created a very unique story to set it in. It was very interesting to learn about the candy industry in the early 1900s. One thing I had a hard time getting used to was that the story is written in first person, one chapter as Lucy and the next as Charlie, switching back and forth throughout.  But it wasn't hard enough to ruin the story for me.  One thing that could have made the story even better would have been some candy recipes!  If you are looking for a sweet and unique romance, I highly recommend Unrivaled!

I received this book for free for review from Bethany House Publishers.
