This was a really quick read for me. It was light and fluffy and didn’t take itself too seriously which I appreciated. This was a straight up contemporary romance and from time to time, I eat these up.

This book follows Morgan Westlake and Kit Bellamy toward their happy ending. Kit has moved to Sugarberry Island to start fresh. She’s heartbroken because she lost her family pie making business and she’s looking for something to fill up all of the time that she’s got on her hands now that she doesn’t have a company to run. She’s still in that once burned, twice shy stage and coming to Sugarberry is starting to look like a good decision.

She’s overlooking the new addition to Lani’s (from Sugar Rush) new cupcake shop called Babycakes and she’s baking a whole lot of cupcakes which is a nice change from baking pies. After no time at all, Kit is starting to make a home for herself there on Sugarberry and when Morgan and his niece Lilly come into her life, more changes are to come for Kit.

The story was cute and cuddly and all kinds of cute but it was really slow in the beginning. It took me far too long to come to care for Morgan and Kit and even little Lilly. A lot longer than it did for everyone to warm up to Kit at the bakery.

The romance between Morgan and Kit was cute but there were times when Kit’s indecision made me want to pop her a good one in her head. It was more than apparent that Morgan was nothing like his family and while I understood her reservations in the beginning, the longer she held out from Morgan, the more I wanted to kick her in the shins. I was really glad when she let go of all of her insecurities and let Morgan love her. When that happened, they turned back into a cute couple.

This was a short and sweet romance with a colorful cast of characters that I was happy to get to know. Even though it was slow to pick up, I enjoyed the story and the romance. I’m not at all mad that I picked this one up for review. I recommend this book to those that are fans of the series (Cupcake Club) and fans of the author’s work.

Grade: 3 out of 5

While the romance was sweet, I am not sure this is the kind of book I really enjoy. Kit and Morgan both came to Sugarberry Island to start a new life. Cue the meet cute and the falling in love. I normally love sweet romances but I had trouble with how much Morgan wanted to talk about his feelings. I am certainly not used to that in my books or in my real life.

All in all, cute story, just not for me. The recipes in the back looked amazing.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the chance to read and review.

I am going through my Netgalley account and clearing up some titles, I never downloaded this book it archived before I was able to so I am unable to read and review for this reason. I apologize that I didn't know this one had been approved.
