Maddie
Lamington’s dreams are crumbling around her. If she doesn’t come up with a plan
to save her little teashop on Sweet Street soon, it might be too late…
So when she sees
how the perfect apple crumble brings together her lonely father and faithful
customer Birdie, inspiration strikes: she’ll set up a dating night involving
all her sweetest bakes.
Luckily,
seriously gorgeous Caleb is on hand to help sprinkle a little magic – and a lot
of sugar! Could one night of scrumptious first dates fix Maddie’s heartbreak
and save her beloved teashop, too?
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher on
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
The story follows Maddie, who owns a a little teashop.
However, things are not going so well and she struggles to keep it up.
Inspired by some guests and family she comes up with
the idea to combine (speed) dating with sweets and baked goodies. Her father
and a well known customer get to know each other overran apple crumble.
Maddie developes the idea, does a try out session and
together with her friends, she sees things looking up.
Birdie comes with a grandson called Caleb and he is
quite something, in a positive way of course. I liked him from the start,
because he is gorgeous, caring, sweet and much more. He also has a little
daughter called Cara, who just adds some sparks.
Both Maddie and Caleb have gone through a lot in their
past when it comes to relationships and love. So it’s understandable that they
are both very careful when it comes to dating. There is a definite spark
between them though and that was carried through the whole story. I kind of
felt that things progressed a little slowly at times, but in the end, the
storyline was round and within a great flow.
This book is a wonderful, heart-warming, vivid and
adorable story, full of love, friendship, family and passion.
The characters were all so lovely. I loved, how they
were all there for each other and they were also really authentic.
JenniferJoyce captured their relationships beautifully, without letting go of
the storyline.
