About this book:
“Local cupcake queen Kayla Dobbs is feeling the heat—just as her bakery is finally taking off, her retired parents start pressuring her to move to Florida. Determined to prove her success, she takes on extra work at the bakery and fibs a little about the depth of her love life. When her mother announces an upcoming visit to meet the lucky guy, Kayla makes a pact with her friends to get a proposal from George Marks, town handyman extraordinaire. The problem is, George seems totally indifferent.
George Marks has enough on his plate with running his business, taking care of an ailing but feisty grandmother, and the possibility of a new business venture on the horizon. But when bumping into Kayla becomes a strangely routine thing, he’s surprised to realize it has also become the highlight of his days. As business spirals out of control and Granny takes a turn for the worse, he’s sure he made one too many commitments.

Talk about a sweet book—in more ways
than one! This was a light, easy and fun read that I really enjoyed. Kayla
& George both had their admiring characters, but also faults that made them
realistic and easy to read about. I also liked like Granny and Maxwell. They
were both so cute! ;) I so enjoyed this sweet contemporary and I think that
cover is perfect for it! It looks like it guarantees a sweet romance story and
author Katie Clark sure does give you one! I can’t wait to read the rest in the
series as they come out. :)
See y’all on Wednesday with a new
review!
