I am a big fan of contemporary romance and thoroughly
enjoyed Candis Terry's debut novel, SECOND CHANCE AT THE
SUGAR SHACK. I can't wait for the next book in this trilogy
revolving around 3 siblings returning to their hometown of
Deer Lick, Montana not long after the unexpected death of
their mother. What they don't know is that their mom may be
dead, but she's not going anywhere until her children find
happiness.
The first sibling facing Mom's heavenly intervention is
Kate, who left town (and boyfriend Matt) without looking
back years earlier after a vicious fight with her mother.
She's left a glamorous life as a stylist to the stars to
return home for the funeral. Unbeknownst to her, her
siblings have elected her to stay in town to help their
father with the family bakery. Suddenly she finds herself
stuck in Deer Lick, elbow-deep in flour, and trying to stay
out of the way of Deputy Matt Ryan. Matt's given up on "the
one" and is looking for the right wife to help him get
elected Sheriff. Kate is definitely not on the list, but
that doesn't mean that Matt can keep his hands off of her.
Will they be able to forgive and forget and find their
way to true love?
If you are looking for a new author, take a chance on SECOND
CHANCE AT THE SUGAR SHACK. I thought the characters were
engaging, and I liked the feel of both the romantic and
family relationships. The obstacles they faced were genuine
and raised the issue of discovering what you really want in
life, and what you are willing to do to get it.
The first in a fun, sexy small town series about three
successful siblings who each find their way home to Deer
Lick, Montana only to discover true love with a little
motherly help from beyond the grave.
Kate Silver’s back in
town, and her dead mother just won’t leave her alone. Kate
usually spends her days dressing Hollywood A-listers, but
after her estranged mother dies she finds herself elbow-deep
in flour in her parents’ bakery… in Deer Lick, Montana.
She
thought she’d left small town life far, far behind, but it
seems there are a few loose ends. The boy she once loved,
Deputy Matt Ryan, is single and sexy and still has a thing
for her…and handcuffs.
Her mother, who won’t follow the
white light, is determined to give maternal advice from
beyond the grave. And somehow Kate’s three-day stay has,
well…extended.
She never planned to fill her mother’s
pie-baking shoes-she prefers her Choos thank you very much.
But with the help of a certain man in uniform, Kate quickly
learns that sometimes second chances are all the more sweet.
