It may not be the season for sugar and spice right now, but some books are just here to give us a reason to survive through seasons. And given the action-packed plot of Sugar and Spice at the Pumpkin Corner Café by Laura Briggs, this book may also give a lot to think about.
Professional pastry chef Blaire is devastated by the death of her beloved aunt. As she returns to Willow Grove she may not only mourn her passing, but also has to struggle with the café her aunt left her. But the business is struggling - very hard, actually - and a cherisher recipe disappeared without a trace.
And as her problems were not enough, her former sweetheart Evan is back in town and their try to get back together ended up in a mess. But this is not all, but the rest you may be curious to figure out by yourself.
This is a book you may hardly be able to put down. The events are such a mixture between tragedy and comedy, plus a spice of sweet romance. The characters are relatable, on the move, and their individual stories do have a lot to offer.
It is a recommended read for a long romantic weekend and I really loved how the story kept me connected and interested. As a reader, felt very much involved in the life of the characters, trying to understand their motivations and actions.
Rating: 4 stars
