More Than Words Can Say by Karen Witemeyer

Karen Witemeyer's books are always enjoyable. she writes historical fiction that usually showcases her dry wit. I find her books to be delightful reads. More Than Words Can Say is no exception. Both Zach and Abby are well thought out characters. The plot is a take on marriage of convenience but written in a fresh manner. I did not realize that this was the second book in the series, but that was not a problem. now that I have finished this book I will go back and read More Than Meets The Eye to get the back story on Zach. So settle back with a cup of coffee and a sticky roll while you enjoy More Than Meets The Eye.

I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley.com with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

After fulfilling a pledge to a dying friend, Zacharias Hamilton is finally free. No family entanglements. No disappointing those around him. Just the quiet bachelor existence he's always craved. Until fate snatches his freedom away when the baker of his favorite breakfast bun is railroaded by the city council. Despite not wanting to get involved, he can't turn a blind eye to her predicament . . . or her adorable dimples.

Abigail Kemp needs a man's name on her bakery's deed. A marriage of convenience seems the best solution . . . if it involves a man she can control. That person definitely isn't the stoic lumberman who oozes silent confidence whenever he enters her shop. Control Zacharias Hamilton? She can't even control her pulse when she's around him.
When vows are spoken, Abigail's troubles should be over. Yet threats to the bakery worsen, and darker dangers hound her sister. Can she put ever more trust in Zach without losing her dreams of independence?
