About Cards of Love: Knight of Wands
A chance for a sweet future, or a recipe for disaster?
Kaitlynn
My dream was to cook my way to fame and fortune, not run myself ragged keeping my late parents’ quaint Savannah restaurant afloat. My sister is useless, I’m chronically short-staffed, and even Gertie, my antiquated oven, hates me.
Then in charges Oliver, like a Golden Knight. He’s hunky and charming and makes others feel at ease. He’s earnest and kind, optimistic and extroverted. My best friend. My sister’s ex. Picking up the slack like he never left all those years ago. Making my body shiver with the lightest touch, the slightest smile. It would be so easy to let him be my knight in shining armor. But I can’t let him, even though he makes Gertie purr like a kitten.
Oliver
I practically grew up waiting tables alongside KitKat. She’s a brilliant chef, but it’s clear she’s no manager. I’ve noticed other changes in her since her letters stopped coming to me in Iraq. There’s fire burning in her green eyes—and pain.
The kiss was meant to comfort. But it explodes into searing passion so white-hot, not even the tallest, iciest sweet tea can quench it. I shouldn’t try. She doesn’t want help, especially not mine. But a kiss like that is the beginning of a promise. A promise that won’t stop until I help her find her dream.

Loved this little story!
Oliver and Kaitlynn have been best friends since childhood, but Ollie became her sister's boyfriend. When Ollie joined the army, they became penpals. They poured their hearts out to each other.
"As her gaze finds mine, I finally recognize her. Kaitlynn. The world stops when she smiles at me."
Twelve years later, there's been radio silence between them for a number of years. Ollie has retired from the army and is back in town, not really expecting to find Kaitlynn there, too - running her parents' restaurant and not following her dreams.
"I want to reach for her, touch her. She's like the stars: beautiful but unobtainable."
Ollie is stunned by his visceral reaction to his best friend, his KitKat. Unfortunately, she's overworked, disillusioned, and somewhat prickly with him. However, there's nowhere else he'd rather be.
"He looks like a regular...Knight in shining armor."
Kaitlynn poured her heart out to Ollie once, but to no avail. She can't rely on anyone but herself, and she can't trust anyone who doesn't plan to stick around. Ollie's got his work cut out for him convincing her otherwise.
I loved Ollie and KitKat's story! Over the years, their history and true feelings are slowly revealed bit by bit through their letters. Ollie is gorgeous! He's a real knight to the rescue. However, Kaitlynn makes him work for it - almost a bit too much! She's had it tough for so many years that she finds it hard to trust in something that feels too good to be true. Beautiful, sexy, and heartfelt, and I loved the ending.
