Dawn goes on her honeymoon with her mother Marnie, after he fiance breaks up with her and cannot get a refund on the hotel package. A good second chance romance. Must admit it dragged a bit at times, but might have just been me. Good story and characters. Would recommend.

Take a trip to the Cape in this book about second chances. Both our protagonists have experienced great losses recently, and they have a chance to get away for a week. One week turns into a summer, and they find out what it really means to forge relationships, accept each other, and get a new lease on life. This is the first in a series that I"ll be excited to finish. However, the biggest problem I had with this book was the fact that it kept describing ice cream, how it's made, and all the many flavors they were making in the shop....repeatedly...forcing me to cave and enjoy a few scoops here and there as I was reading....

A sweet tale of mother and daughter. Lots of ice cream. Yes, I did have some while reading the book. How could I not? Interesting growth of all the characters. For so many of us having dealt with cancer that part also rings true. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley.

Dawn recently broke up with her fiance, Kevin and was completely shocked by the break up. Kevin sends her and her mom off on their honeymoon to Cape Cod. Marnie and Dawn are completely opposite in their personality and so this trip could be difficult for both of them.

Marnie ends up purchasing an ice cream shop on a whim and from there the fun begins. This book made me want to go out and get some good ice cream.

I really enjoyed the characters of Lincoln and Kevin!

Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

Dawn is a woman who has life mapped out by spread sheet and by the numbers. Her mother, Marnie, lives life by the seat of her pants. When Dawn's fiance breaks off the engagement, he gives Dawn the week-long honeymoon on Cape Cod that has already been paid. Dawn takes Marnie with her and while they were in Chatham Village, Marnie buys an ice cream shop. Dawn is aghast at her mother's impulsiveness. One thing that Marnie was thinking of is that Dawn and her father spent hours and hours perfecting the very best vanilla ice cream ever.

Dawn drug her feet, but gave her mom six months to make the ice cream shop a go. Then a spark ignites in Dawn to continue developing the best ice cream she can.

Marnie meets a man, Lincoln, who helps her repair and bring the Creamery building back to life. Marnie meets opposition in the form of the historical commission but Dawn's ex-fiance comes to the rescue to help Marnie wade through the morass of the bureaucratic paperwork to satisfy the commission.

There is not much romance in the book, but it is more of a story of mothers and daughters finding their way with each other when they are such disparate personalities.

Suzanne Woods Fisher also writes Amish Fiction and does very well with Amish and non-Amish tales. This book is a wonderful story that encompasses more than just love, but friendship, strength, and finding oneself.

Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and the very best ice cream you've ever tasted.

Revell Publishing and NetGalley.com provided the copy I read for this review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

A quick, easy and cute read that was well written with a captivating storyline, well developed and relatabel characters and a great setting. I really enjoyed this book, after all everything si better with ice cream, I cannot wait to read more by this author.

It was great to pick up a new book from Suzanne Woods Fisher. The Sweet Life, the first book from her Cape Cod Creamery series, does not disappoint. I loved it. Five stars.
