What I liked about this book is that both of the main characters grew over the book and didn't just settle for the easy path. It was that growth that allowed the ending to be satisfying. If you like books like that, you'll easily find it a great read.

For the record, I was looking forward to this book and it didn't disappoint. Some of the highlights were the 'love angels', the red room, and the book club. Much of the other stuff I'd like to say about this book provides spoilers - and I don't want to do that to you. I got this free (in full disclosure) but I recommend reading this book. I would especially recommend reading it with a petit four near by as you get a little hungry with the mentions of them at the 'pastry puff'!

A sweet, fluffy read with a Hallmark vibe. The weird thing though is that the last ten percent of the book seems to focus on God and how He brought them together, etc. and it really wasn't brought up much in the first ninety percent of the book. It felt a bit abrupt.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

An opposites attract rom-com that is reminiscent of a Hallmark movie in all the best ways. The characters were relatable and were written in a way that they felt approachable. The "love angels" antics felt out of place at times but their humor kept the book lighthearted. The two main characters' dealt with their respective issues in a gradual manner over the course of the story. Their banter was sometimes over the top but also fit well with the lighthearted nature of the story. Overall, a cute book and a good lighthearted read.

I got in to 'The Key to Love' really quickly, and I was really interested in the premise. Romance based on baking and coffee shops in small towns is always something that appeals to me, but I haven't really read an American version before. I enjoyed the main characters' dynamic, including Mabel and Agnes, and felt connected to the small town. My one fault with this book is that, towards the end, probably in the last few chapters, the characters suddenly start talking about God and how 'the Lord brought us together', which would be fine if it were not so sudden and out of place with the rest of the book. A Pastor is a minor character in some scenes, but the characters were not overtly (or even slightly honestly) Christian, so the sudden turnaround at the end really didn't do it for me. Overall a nice summer holiday read.
