With Christmas season in
full swing, baker Regina San Valentino is up to her elbows in cake batter and
cookie dough. Between running her own business, filling her bursting holiday
order book, and managing her crazy Italian family, she’s got no time to relax,
no room for more custom cake orders, and no desire to find love. A failed
marriage and a personal tragedy have convinced her she’s better off alone. Then
a handsome stranger enters her bakery begging for help. Regina can’t find it in
her heart to refuse him.
Connor Gilhooly is in a
bind. He needs a specialty cake for an upcoming fundraiser and puts himself—and
his company’s reputation—in Regina’s capable hands. What he doesn’t plan on is
falling for a woman with heartbreak in her eyes or dealing with a wise-guy
father and a disapproving family.
Can Regina lay her past to
rest and trust the man who’s awoken her heart?
Cat gives this one 4 Meows with a 3 Purr heat index...
I liked this story. A lot. I love stories about bakeries, and it had a
sad touch with Reggie’s past. I love a story about crime families and Italian
families. The story was funny, sweet and romantic. I loved Reggie and all of
her family. Connor is hot and very sweet. I recommend this story.
Now having said that. I listened to this on audio
and usually recommend the audio over the book. In this case I am going to say the
narration was just ok. It was just a person reading the book and quite choppily
at that. If you just want to listen to a good story while you do other stuff,
it still is ok because the story is awesome.
