Love isn't always a cakewalk....
Gigi Hawthorne is starting from scratch. She just didn't realize until her crappy car broke down that she was going to be doing it in a small town in Vermont. With an eye for design and some serious decorating skills, she's managed to land a job making delectable treats for the patrons of the Busy Bean. Now she's up to her elbows in sugar and flour, but her thoughts are never far from her gorgeous, brooding landlord.
Holden St. James swears he isn't a recluse. He goes to the local coffee shop three times a week, doesn't he? Yeah, maybe he never actually talks to anyone, but with a backstory of loss, pain, and regret like his, he's pretty sure he wouldn't be very good company anyway. Yet something about his new tenant makes him wonder if maybe it's time to let someone open the oven door and release a little heat into his closed-off world.
But both are hiding secrets as dark as an espresso mocha cupcake and they're not sure if they can trust each other. Will the truth break their delicate relationship into sad, sweet crumbs - or will it turn out to be the key ingredient in the recipe for a new life?
Contains mature themes.

First of all, the female narrator’s constant too-long pauses were SUPER ANNOYING…very distracting. I had to listen at double the speed about halfway through, to prevent a DNF…something I’ve never done…and I’ve listened to hundreds of books.
MFC was made to seem painfully stupid from the beginning…so over-the-top it was cringy. I hoped it would get better quickly, but alas, it didn’t. She stayed ridiculously dumb basically all the way to the very end. Yes…I grasp the idea of acting and reacting out of fear, etc., but come on…this was a bit too 1960’s B-movie.
Are we seriously expected to believe not one person Googled the new-to-town person who used her REAL NAME?!
Even worse than that…time-after-time, her UNTESTED, UNTASTED baked goods were sold to unsuspecting customers?!? That’s not done. Never.
The story was sort of saved by the godfather…such brief scenes with him, but his character enriched the whole thing. Thank goodness for that…because I love most of the stories set in this VT bookverse, so I HAD to listen to this in its entirety. I’d probably break out in hives if I DNF.
And…and…😌 We are all so very different, thank goodness - how boring would life be if we weren’t, so give it a listen…you may appreciate it.
P.S. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I like Stephen Dexter reading anything and everything. Pretty sure I’d love listening to him recite the freakin’ dictionary. Just sayin’ 💖
Cakewalk…Ummm…what?!

This was a cute book with a surprise ending that although you might think you see it coming, you probably won't.
The Narrators were pretty good. I always have issues with a male voice trying to sound female. Other than that, it's a cute listen.
A surprise ending!
