Alex goes to small town to expose a bakeshop that is too good to be true. Especially skeptical of the gorgeous baker Ethan. Lots of magic, lots of fun characters. A quick and fun read that would be great for a summer read. Would recommend.

This is a delightful confection of a novel that serves a small town cozy romance where we are whisked to a small-town bakery with a pinch of magic. We blend dual perspectives from Alex, a food critic and journalist, and Ethan, the charming small town baker. Alex is set on writing a scathing exposé about a local bakery in Magnolia Cove, however, her plans are kneaded into a different shape when Ethan and the town charm her.

The writing includes a baker’s dozen of baking metaphors and culinary imagery to build the setting of our story. The romance is very light and fluffy, so don’t go into the small town expecting anything deep.

If you enjoyed Legends and Lattes but wished there was a bit more romantic tension and a bit less poetic description of food or plot, then this book is perfect for you.

I did have an enjoyable time reading it. I think it is fun and very small town so it reminds me of stories like a hallmark movie. The preview for the next book gives us a hint that we follow the small town librarian and books which sounds cute. I would pick it up!

Alex llega a Magnolia Cove con una sola misión: destruir la panadería The Whimsical Wisk con una crítica implacable. Enfocada únicamente en su carrera y el dinero, está decidida a no dejar que loa sentimientos arruinen su vida otra vez. Sin embargo, cuando conoce an Ethan, el dueño de la panaderia, su perspectiva comienza a cambiar. A medida que se adentra en este mundo de dulces y secretos, Alex se ve atrapado por la magia de Magnolia Cove y por los sentimientos que empieza a desarrollar por Ethan. Entre lecciones de repostería y miradas furtivas, se enfrenta a un dilema: seguir con su plan y arruinarlo todo, o rendirse al amor y descubrir lo que realmente importa. Una historia de magia, romance y decisiones difíciles que te mantendrá atrapado hasta el final.







Tengo una queja: el momento en que Ethan mostro que clase de monstruo era. Todo el libro espere la transformación y ocurrió hasta el final.
