About this listen
They say the course of true love never runs smooth.
That's nothing a magical cupcake can't solve.
Julie
Buttercream. Vanilla. Fondant. Dark chocolate. Brown sugar. Molasses. Baking has always been my true love, but it wasn't until my mother's death, and the unexpected inheritance of Serendipity Gardens, that my bliss called me. Bittersweet. But Serendipity Gardens has more to offer than just a potential shopfront. An unusual recipe box left to me by a distant relative might be the key to unlocking my dreams.
Too bad the most powerful family in Chancellor has plans that could turn those dreams to ruins - literally.
Too bad the son of that powerful family is just the kind of guy I've been looking for.
Horatio
I suppose being heir to the Hunter family's Blushing Grape Winery should make me happy, but nothing could be further from the truth. With my mother gone, my father has taken me under his wing, and I despise everything about the way he does business. Sour grapes indeed. Instead of raising money for charitable causes, my true passion, I'm chasing my father's manifest destiny.
Too bad his dream includes paving paradise.
Too bad the property owner is the sweetest woman I've ever met.

Boudica, second daughter of a Celtic king, has little concern for tribal tensions and political intrigues. Called by the gods and the stirrings of her own wild heart, she listens instead to whispers of the oaks. But Boudica would be wiser to heed the warning cries of eagles. Rumors abound that the Romans are amassing forces for another invasion. In an effort to consolidate power, Boudica’s father turns to Prasutagus, the formidable ruler of the Greater Iceni. To win Prasutagus’s aid, Boudica’s father must strike a bargain - a deal with implications beyond Boudica’s imagining.

In my dreams, Odin whispers to me. He tells me I'm destined to wield a legendary sword. He tells me my road will bring me to Valhalla. But when I wake, I'm only Hervor. Fatherless. Unloved. Unwanted. Jarl Bjartmar, my grandfather, calls me cursed. My mother, her memories stolen by the gods, has forgotten me. Everyone tells me I should have been left to the wolves, but no one will tell me why. None but Eydis, a thrall with völva magic, believes I'm meant for a greater destiny. Yet who can believe a devotee of Loki?

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

The knight was supposed to be a man. Not me, Sophie MacKnight, a marketing associate from California. This must be a practical joke that the Scots play on visiting Americans. Because otherwise I’ve inherited a haunted castle in Scotland, along with one irritatingly sexy Scotsman, who would be delighted if I turned tail and ran. Frankly, I thought I would fly here, sell the heap of bricks, and head back home to a life that I…well, I was comfortable with at the very least. Instead, the people of Loren Brae are in trouble, and it appears that as the new owner of the castle.

When Finlay Ashowan joins the staff of the King and Queen of Daxaria, he’s an enigma. No one knows where he comes from or how he came to be where he is, which suits Fin just fine. He’s satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly uncanny meals. But Fin’s secret identity doesn’t stay hidden for long. After all, it’s not every day a house witch and his kitten familiar, Kraken, take to meddling in imperial affairs.

Kennedy Sinclair never dreamed she'd own a pie shop and an orchard in a small town like Destiny Bay. But nestled between the mountains and the Pacific Ocean, it's the perfect place to cross something off her "Life's short so eat the icing first" list and start her life over from scratch. Her shop, Sweetie Pies, is famous for its hot, flaky apple turnovers and sinfully delicious deep dish pie. For Kennedy though, nothing is more enticing than the tall, strapping slice of temptation who keeps coming back for more.

It is a novel that explores the indomitable strengths of female friendship and gives us the story of a young girl who loses one mother and finds many others.

The Waverleys have always been a curious family, endowed with peculiar gifts that make them outsiders even in their hometown of Bascom, North Carolina. Even their garden has a reputation, famous for its feisty apple tree that bears prophetic fruit, and its edible flowers, imbued with special powers.
Generations of Waverleys tended this garden. Their history was in the soil. But so were their futures.
Together again in the house they grew up in, the Waverley sisters realize they must deal with their common legacy - if they are ever to feel at home in Bascom - or with each other.

Fiercely protective of his small town in rural Maine, he's determined to save the family tree business and avoid his feelings at all costs. LA native Rachel Hart hates being underestimated almost as much as she hates this small town. She has two goals on this trip: get out of the cheesy tourist trap of Love You, Maine, with a business deal, and avoid running into Kell, her old friend from DC who never became an old flame because of a huge misunderstanding.

Enchanting!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely! The Cupcake Witch is such a quaint loving story! It reminded me of a Hallmark movie that I didn't want to end!
What did you like best about this story?
The fairy tale of it all! The Cupcake Witch takes you to a place that you truly want to live in, the characters are so genuine and sincere I wanted to be friends with them!
Any additional comments?
The Cupcake Witch is a delightful, fairy tale, romance! It whisks you away to a town and has you wishing you were walking the streets with them! My wish...that is was longer! The fairy tale of it all! The characters are so genuine and sincere I wanted to be friends with them all! Hollie Jackson does a great job bringing the emotion of the spells being cast and brewed and the spirit of her relative around the house. You could feel it in Hollie's voice.

an original fairytale for the Hallmark generation
The Cupcake Witch is a cozy little romance set in a small town. It has a love at first sight trope which I guess works here because otherwise this short story would need to be a lot longer.
This story isn't really a retellings of an one fairy tale. Instead this story is much closer to the Good Witch series from Hallmark, both in tone and in plot structure.
Girl moves to small town to open a small business, girl meets guy, guy likes girl, girl is magical...or is she? it might just be luck, or coincidence, but yeah it's probably magic.
The content is clean. there is a second where the heroine is admiring the hero's six pack but that's as far as it goes.
The narrator did a lovely job reading. She does try to give the characters their own voices but while she does alright with the women, mostly all the men sound the same.

Sweet small town romance
I loved the whole vibe of this story. it would be perfect to read while baking or sitting by a fire. the narration was a little stilted which made it hard to get into, but overall a solid read.

This is a cute story about a woman that inherits a funky old house. Her dad is a real estate agent and sends Julie to inspect the house and put up the for sale signs. Once she arrives, Julie falls in love with the place and wants to keep it.
Unfortunately, a local land baron sends his son Horatio to buy the place. Horatio (yes this is his real name) actually kind of crushes on Julie. He asks Julie to go for lunch/coffee with him. Things are great between the two until the point where he says his dad will pay anything she wants for the land. His dad wants to make it a parking lot for his restaurant.
This totally upsets Julie and she is now determined to stay. While sorting through the house she finds a recipe book. These are not ordinary cook book recipes. Julie finds that she has a good bit of magic and starts meeting all of the locals. Then the fun begins.
This has a fun story line with clean budding romance and is series of books that I will be buying soon.
The narrator is good. Her voice has great inflection in all of the right places and her characters are distinct and different from each other.

It’s so cute! Perfect palate cleanser
This story is so sweet. If you want a quick feel good listen or need a palate cleanser after an intense book or series then this is a great pick. I want to read the rest of the series now, but it can be a standalone as well.
Narrators did a great job.

Sweet magical tale with food and love.
What other book might you compare The Cupcake Witch to and why?
I'm not sure about books, but a few movies came to mind. I adored the movie Simply Irresistible with the delicious food and spark of love with the magic in the food. This book fills that same spot in my heart, not for the stories being similar but for the magic in the food and love. Blended with the Good Witch who finds a new home that accepts her and her apothecary ways.
What about Hollie Jackson’s performance did you like?
This is the first time I've listened to Hollie. She does well of voicing Julie and her pain, and a different tone for her father. Hollie makes all her characters individual. Horatio sounds like a man with a shorter feel to his words and his sister, Viola, has a softer sound. Something I noticed as well, I like that I can't hear her breathing between words. The story is told with a seamless flow and easy to listen to.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I had to smile at how Julie and Horatio meet. Innocent yet clumsy. Julie doesn't know it, but her boldness to live life as she wants inspires Horatio do the same. They are both not the person that one of their parents is making them be. They both share in this struggle in their lives. They also share that each have lost a parent to cancer. Though they are still hurting from the lose it's not the complete focus of the story, and I love that. They are working to keep going forward as they remember.
Any additional comments?

We have a few characters that join us in helping them find their selves and connecting Horatio and Julie. Viola, Horatio's sister, is a lovely person. She sees what Horatio is wonderful at, organizing events, and she has great advice for her brother. Viola is so right! But they are suppose to follow the family business. And Horatio realizes it's not what he wants to do. Horatio's dad, Aaron Hunter, is a business jerk. It's all about what he wants and now.
The three ladies that were dear friends with Mrs. Aster are a delight! They have the knowing way about them. Reminds me of the good witches. lol. They adopt Julie when they meet and learn who she is. Then, Julie learns who they are. Oh this is so sweet!
Such a sweet story that I enjoyed. I enjoyed how the writing flowed with the characters. This feels like a lovely series to enjoy as people find themselves and each other, friends or more.

The Cupcake Witch is a short story that has great characters! I listened to it twice in one day! It was super cute, romantic with a bit of magic! I would recommend this book if you are looking for a short good romance to lighten your day!
