Romance

SHE’S CRAVING A SWEET NEW LIFE…

Call her a fool, but chef-in-training Chloe Madison wants to have her cake and eat it too. So when her boyfriend dumps her for some French tart, she decides to start over from scratch—with a new life and job in Sugar Creek, Vermont. What could be sweeter than cooking for an eccentric lady who’s crazy for desserts? What could be more tempting than joining a club called the Cupcake Lovers? Just one thing: local business-hunk Devlin Monroe…

AND HE’S THE ICING ON THE CUPCAKE

Although he’s the grandson of Chloe’s fun-loving boss, Devlin Monroe is all work and no play. Micro-managing the family business, he doesn’t have time to indulge in life’s sweetest pleasures—until he meets Chloe. How can he resist such a vibrant, beautiful woman who brings so much passion to the table? But when old grudges and secrets threaten to destroy the Cupcake Lovers, Devlin must decide if his feelings for Chloe are a recipe for disaster—or a sinfully delicious ever-after…

Hi

Your book sounds so good, I love the "starting over" type of
story and the fact that it is surrounded by sweets is even
better.

Thanks for the chance

(Michelle Fidler 5:14pm August 29, 2012)

Your Cupcake Lovers series sounds so goo-ood! Brings to mind the TV show I so enjoy watching, "Cupcake Wars". If you want a cupcake education on numerous yummy cupcake recipe concoctions...this is the show to watch, then bake up a batch and eat while reading your new fun book. What a beautiful book cover! I'll have to read these!

A cupcake education indeed! Now mix that with hunky men and
colorful characters galore. ;)
(Beth Ciotta 8:00pm August 29, 2012)

cupcakes just too much work.

Since I live in a small town now myself, I can relate completely to this book. The good thing is that I can bake!! lol The book sounds yummy in more ways than one, and I can't wait to read it!! When a series is good, I always tend to stick with the author, and I'm sure that yours is going to be one that I'll look forward to.

I think the idea is lovely. However I would like some recipes featured which would suit my friends with Type 1 diabetes. Maybe there is a carrot cake version which would be appropriate?
