Double Fudge. . .Toasted Coconut. . .Key Lime. . .Strawberry Cream. . .
Every bite is a mouthful of heaven.
And the women of the Cupcake Club are bringing their appetites . . .
Riley Brown never imagined she would find her bliss on Georgia's
quiet Sugarberry Island after years of Chicago's city life. With a new career
and fantastic new friends, she's got it all--except for eligible men. But a gig
staging a renovated beach house delivers a delicious treat--six feet of
blue-eyed, gorgeous writer as delectable and Southern as pecan pie. Quinn
Brannigan has come to Sugarberry to finish his latest novel in peace, and
suddenly Riley has a taste for the bad boy author that no amount of mocha latte
buttercream or lemon mousse will satisfy . . .
Riley's friends are rooting for her to give in to her cravings and
spice up her life, but it's Quinn who needs to learn that life's menu just
might include love, in all its decadent, irresistible flavors. . .
The Good:
I enjoyed the premise of this book,
with the famous author hiding out and trying to decide what direction to take
his career meets woman who fled a bad relationship to end up in a small
town. Quinn reminded me a bit of Castle, which of course made me think of the delectable Nathan Fillion...
The Bad:
While I enjoyed the premise, I wasn’t a
big fan of the execution. I’ve read
books by Donna Kauffman before and enjoyed them, but the execution of these
characters just didn’t resonate with me.
For my money, if you are going to read
Donna Kauffman, I recommend the Fairy Godmother series. Super fun and interesting.
