Publisher's summary

Lucy Bowman would never have guessed that her best friend, Duffy McCready (of McCready’s Bait Shop & Funeral Home) has been in love with her since they were kids. Fear of rejection and his own romantic complications prevented Duffy from confessing his true feelings in high school, so he stood by and watched her wed Wayne Garten right after high school. Wayne had always been a cheapskate, so it comes as no surprise when he suffers a fatal accident while fixing his own truck.

Even as her family and friends invade Lucy’s life and insist that the new widow is too fragile to do much beyond weeping, Lucy is ashamed to admit that life without Wayne is easier, less complicated. After all, no one knew what a relentless, soul-grinding trudge marriage to Wayne had been. Only Duffy can tell she’s hiding something.

In need of a fresh start, Lucy asks Duffy to put his cabinet-building skills to use, transforming the town's meat shop into a bake shop. As the bakery takes shape, Lucy and Duffy discover the spark that pulled them together so many years ago. Could this finally be the second chance he’s always hoped for?

Once again Molly Harper “writes characters you can’t help but fall in love with” (RT Book Reviews) in this charming and entertaining love story.

Duffy

Duffy may not be a magical unicorn like Carl. But he’s pretty dang close! This is one of my favorite series of all time.

Best one yet

I think Duffy’s story may have been my favorite of all the Lake Sackett McCready clans’. Full of actual laugh out loud moments and swoon worthy sighs, watching Duffy grow up, shut down Lana and woo his childhood BFF was definitely worth the wait.

Cute story!

Another great Molly Harper story. Loved this cute continuation and foreshadowing for future stories. Amanda Ronconi is great, as always. Worth your time and a credit!

Another fun story from Lake Sackett

I'm glad Duffy has more of a back story and a love interest. I would have liked to have more Frankie, Margo and Maryann though.

Good, but not great.

Good book, staying close to the series. I didn't love the main character Lucy. I feel she just wasn't that likeable. I love this series enough though so that didn't ruin the book for me.

Entertaining Fun with a touch of sugar sweet!

Gimme Some Sugar is entertaining and fun. It is at times light and sweet as sugar, but also emotional and engaging.

Lucy returns to small town, Lake Sackett with her young daughter to move on with her life after becoming a widow. She wants to open a bake shop, face down some ghosts of her past, and protect her daughter from the craziness that is her in laws.

I started this book in paperback, but switched to audio. I love listening to these stories on audiobook because of the great narration. This story is part of the Southern Eclectic Series but can be read as a standalone.
-4 Stars!-
