So this story had me laughing out loud from the very beginning. I mean obviously with that title, you know it’s going to probably have a lot of play on different types of risque jokes you can make with pickles. And this had all of them, and then some that I’d never thought of! For instance, they had to name all the things in the deli something to do with pickles, I mean that was the “family” name. So the new bread type was called “Dill Dough”. LOL! Now when we talk about the family name, actually, the real one was worse. At first, I read it, Packwood, and was like, well, that’s not that bad. Until the jokes came, about packing wood.

The humor was great, and the characters were all really fun, even the side characters added so much to the story. Of course the one thing that always annoys me is not telling a secret, one that probably won’t make that big of a dill (okay, I couldn’t help but throw one of the jokes in myself) in the long run.

Of course it all worked out in the long run, because we have an HEA. I was kind of surprised that we did find out who won the competition between the brothers, because in my mind, I’d assumed maybe we were going to get a series with each of the three brothers having their own book. However I don’t believe knowing who wins will ruin anything. I’m hoping the author will still go back and give us Max and Anthony’s stories as well! I have to say I’ve also now found a new author that I will be checking out as many more books by her as possible in the future!
