The Cupcake Diaries
Sweet On You
By:

Fans
of Debbie Macomber will love THE CUPCAKE DIARIES: Sweet on You, the
first in the new and exciting three-book romantic comedy, by Darlene Panzera.
Set in the small seaport town of Astoria, Oregon, Sweet on You begins the
delicious and charming mini-series with Andi Burke’s adventure through love and
cupcakes.
Sisters
Andi and Kim, along with best friend Rachel, haven’t had the best luck in
recent months: unemployment, divorce, and heartbreak. After so many
disappointments, what can the trio do to change things around? Open up a much
needed gourmet cupcake shop of course!
Andi
has always had a dream—a kitchen big enough to bake and dance in, while still
being able to support her dear daughter Mia, and hopefully find true love (one
day). Could opening up a cupcake shop make it all a reality?
Together,
the best friends are determined to open up Creative Cupcakes. But, with no
business experience or money to finance the project it seems their dream won’t
come true. Until, Jake Hartman, the hunky Astoria Sun reporter, offers to
partner up with them.
Trying
to hold it together as a single mom hasn’t been easy, and the thought of dating
hasn’t crossed Andi’s mind since her divorce. But, the way Jake keeps looking
at her might change her mind. After all, what could go wrong?
Plenty!
There's a shady tattoo parlor behind their shop and a crowd of crazy Zumba
dancers out front—ready to ruin them. The trio is forced to think quick to
counter the attacks from Zumba fanatic Pat, while still finding a way to bring
in business. It seems the only thing that’s going right is Andi's blooming
romance with Jake. As if things weren’t hard enough, Jake’s media crew captures
a story that could shut them both down forever.
My Review:
Three
friends are out to celebrate Andi’s sister’s birthday. They can’t find a
cupcake, and the beginning of a beautiful love story starts with three quarters
of a chocolate cupcake.
Jake
is this smart, good looking man and the first man Andi has dated since her
divorce. He’s the perfect man for Andi to jump back into the dating scene. Andi
is a single mom who decides to make something happen with her life and open a
cupcake shop.
This
is a cute story centering around yummy cupcakes. It’s a quick fun read and I
look forward to the other stories in the series. If they keep up this level of
fluffy sweetness, I know that I’ll love them.
