THE TEA SHOP ON LAVENDER LANE by Sheila Roberts is book five
in
her Life in Icicle Falls series. Bailey is a caterer
in Los Angeles, catering to
the stars. Until one party, where the host fakes food
poisoning and ruins
Baileys career and business. Her booked parties are
canceling right and
left and she has no choice but to close up shop and head
back home to her
family in Icicle Falls. Her sister, Cecily, books a flight
for her and welcomes
her into her home to stay as long as she needs to.
Cecily is having her own problems. She is known as the
family
matchmaker, but her own love life is in a shambles. Luke
has been
perusing her since she moved back to Icicle Falls, but she
just isn't
attracted to him. She is really into Todd Black, the owner
of the local
watering hole called The Man Cave. Luke is perfect for
Cecily, kind and
attentive and Todd is the town bad boy, so wrong for her,
but the one Cecily
has sparks flying for. What is going to happen? Who will
she end up with?
She doesn't know, but you have to read THE TEA SHOP ON
LAVENDER
LANE to find out! You are going to love where this story
takes you!
Bailey has no idea what she wants to do with her life, but
as far as she is
concerned, she is done with cooking and baking for people.
She doesn't
want to make anyone else sick. She tries a few jobs in
Icicle Falls but
everyone knows she was born to feed people. She reluctantly
goes into
business with Todd Black and open up a tea shop in a house
Todd just
purchased! Now the story takes an interesting twist and what
happens
between Todd and Bailey is a mess. Throw in Todd's brother
Devon and the
town is turning upside down.
I always fall in love with all of Sheila's characters and
THE TEA SHOP ON
LAVENDER LANE does not disappoint. Reading a Life in
Icicle Falls book
is like visiting with old friends. It's a small town and
everyone is in
everyone else's business just enough to drive them all
crazy. I thought I
knew where the story was going and who was going to end up
with who,
but once again, Sheila throws in a curve ball and I had it
all wrong! I can't
wait to continue with this series. As an added bonus, there
are recipes at
the end of the story and who doesn't love new recipes?
When it comes to men, sisters don't share!
After a fake food poisoning incident in L.A., Bailey
Sterling's dreams of becoming a caterer to the stars
collapse faster than a soufflé. Now Bailey's face is in all
the gossip rags and her business is in ruins. But the
Sterling women close ranks and bring her back to Icicle
Falls, where she'll stay with her sister Cecily.
All goes well between the sisters until Bailey comes up with
a new business idea—a tea shop on a charming street called
Lavender Lane. She's going into partnership with Todd Black,
who—it turns out—is the man Cecily's started dating. It
looks to Cecily as if there's more than tea brewing in that
cute little shop. And she's not pleased.
Wait! Isn't Cecily seeing Luke Goodman? He's a widower with
an adorable little girl, and yes, Cecily does care about
him. But Todd's the one who sends her zing-o-meter off the
charts. So now what? Should you have to choose between your
sister and the man you love (or think you love)?
