Second Chance at the Sugar Shack

Romance Contemporary

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.

SUMMARY

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.
