Publisher's summary

What makes life sweet?

  • Freshly baked bread
  • A cool lake on a hot summer day
  • The comfort of a cozy bookstore
  • Second chances and new beginnings

When Harper Shaw’s life falls apart, she knows it’s time for a change. She removes everything that doesn’t spark joy—from her soul-sucking job to eating kale to making lists—and sets off for the last place she was happy, Lake Tahoe (who wouldn’t feel good there, right?) to fulfill her dream of opening her own bakery.

With her Sugar Pine Bakery in between a tavern, owned by sexy, grumpy Bodie Campbell, and a bookstore, run by her new BFF, she feels a peace she’s never experienced since…well, forever.. Then she meets Ivy, a teenage runaway, who barrels into her heart. She sees a lot of herself in Ivy and takes her under her wing, but the teenager has secrets…

When those secrets explode, it changes Harper’s new world, and she’ll learn, it’s never too late to start over, it’s never too late to figure out your life, and best of all, it’s never too late to let yourself believe in love.

The sweetheart list

This book was OK definitely not bad, but it was very predictable. The characters were great and funny as always, but I guess this series hasn’t kept my attention as well as some of the others. The first two books in the series were great and very intriguing but this book was very predictable.

the trouble they all went through to get. to each other is so real life. we all struggle

I like how a homeless teen found family and friends. Also how loving was taught to Ivy by people who are flawed but full of enough love to share.

Big squishy cupcake love

So much heart squeezing in this book! I'm a sucker for taking in teens and getting under their tough shells to their squishy centers. I absolutely adored seeing all these imperfect people come together to make a family. Two thumbs up!

Another sweet gem from Shalvis!

I know what to expect from a Jill Shalvis story, and that is precisely why I choose her works. Fun characters, heart-warming story, an author who takes time to set the scene. Also, Jill would never, EVER kill a canine character for emotional manipulation.
The new narrator is such a breath of fresh air, I'm grateful for the change!
Ivy was the character I was most invested in. Her arc made sense, and her reactions were believable. Are the romances a little far-fetched? Sure. Is it great fun? ABSOLUTELY.
I would like to challenge Jill Shalvis to not use the word "amazing" or the question "where is your head at" in a book. I've read all her work, and these are repeated so often, they pull me out of the moment.

Enjoyable romance read

First time reading Jill Shalvis and I am now a fan. Looking forward to more of her books. I liked the characters, the story, the setting and the pace and the narration.
