About the book:
When a struggling bakery owner is rescued by a wannabe songwriter with hidden culinary talents, they discover they can make sweet harmony … if they can only learn to work together.
Rhett Foster longs to change the world with his music, yet he can’t even finish writing one song. Battered by a string of failures and disillusioned, he returns home to Portland, Oregon. While he desperately wants to create a chart-topping hit, his dad mandates a new mission: move to coastal vacation hotspot Seabrook, Washington and expand the family’s successful restaurant chain.
In danger of destroying her late parents’ legacy if she doesn’t diversify her menu, Lindsay Carmichael will try anything to save her bakery. But with a tiny budget and an injured employee who can’t work, she has no choice but to sink the last of her savings into buying a dilapidated food truck and hiring Rhett as a part-time barista. What she doesn’t know is that the handsome songwriter has a secret … one that could destroy her business and her heart.
My review:
I enjoyed this story about a determined young woman who's had her heart broken once and the songwriter who feels he can never make his dad proud. I liked Lindsay's perseverance but did feel like she bit off more than she could chew with buying the food truck. There was quite a bit of shop talk as she tried out different recipes and worried about her business failing. She was also angry at the family who had ruined her parents' business and was pretty bitter toward them. Rhett sounded like a good guy who just needed a break but who should have been honest with her sooner. He struggled to forgive his dad for how he'd been treated. He also wasn't sure if he should give up songwriting, which was his passion, to work for his dad's business. Lindsay's best friend was a strong Christian and a good witness to Lindsay about who God is. Neither Lindsay nor Rhett were Christians. There was some sweet romance. There's also another couple who are total opposites that seemed to be interested in each other and I hope the next book is about them! I thought the narrator did a good job but I definitely had to listen to it at at least one and a half speed. I would recommend this story if you like romance, especially centered around coffee and food!
I received a free audiobook download of this book from the author. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
