Cat's Books: Romance

Kitty opens a pop-up bakery shop in Edinburgh. She hopes to sell her traditional cakes, delicious chocolate sponges and baking throughout December. The pop-up shop is hers until the beginning of January, so she has one month to make it work.

She moved to Edinburgh from the coastal town of Prestwick. After opening her shop, she becomes friends with knitting shop owner Agnes, and Matt who owns the mountaineering clothing shop. Jeff the knitwear photographer is also a new acquaintance.

Then there is the sexy and handsome chocolatier, Caelan Broadie, who owns the chocolatier shop and tearoom.

Set in Edinburgh, there's romance, chocolate, cakes, friendship and rivalry in the heart of the beautiful Scottish city.

Will Kitty find romance? Is Matt the man for her? Or Jeff? Can she resist the sweet temptation of the chocolatier's luxurious chocolates? And will she resist the temptation of the gorgeous chocolatier?

Review

I am sort of dead even on this book. I loved the setting of Edinburgh. I loved some of the quirkiness of the heroine who was a baker and a knitwear model. I love food reading.

The romance was good enough.

The side characters were largely irritating like a tag in the back of shirt. The ladies in the other shops make fun of a perfectly nice guy's boxy butt. Not endearing.

There is a jump to conclusions misunderstanding that grates.

However, I will try this writer again for the stuff I did like.
