Goodreads:  After selling her famous bakery back in New York, Parker Adams visits Hope Lake, Pennsylvania, to figure out her next steps. And soon she’s wondering why she ever loved city life in the first place. Between the Golden Girls—the senior women who hold court—and Nick Arthur, her equally infuriating and charming former flame, Parker finds a community eager to help her get her mojo back.

But even though Hope Lake gives her the fresh start she’s been looking for, Parker discovers that it’s not so easy to start over again with Nick. Their chemistry is undeniable, but since Nick is a freshly taken man, Parker is determined to keep things platonic. With a recipe for disaster looming, Parker must cook up a new scheme, figuring out how to keep everything she’s come to love before she loses it all.

Kritters Thoughts:  The third in a series where I highly suggest you start at the beginning as each book builds on another.  In each book there are different main characters, but they show up in each other's books and they all take place in a small town.  

This book centers around Parker Adams who has just recently sold her bakery to a large company and isn't sure what she wants to do next.  She ends up in the small town that her best friend has just moved to and Charlotte is establishing herself as a florist and Parker decides its a good place to land for the time being.  Nick Arthur is a part of a friend group that has been together forever and to bring a girl into this group could be close to impossible, so Nick hasn't dated a ton, could Parker be the one to be his love and fit in the group.  

I have LOVED this series.  They are great storylines in a small town with minimal sexy times.  Each book has a great plot which I love even though its a romance and you know where the story will end, these journeys are so worth the read.  

I hope this series continues, I enjoy each one of the books in their own unique way.  


Rating: absolutely loved it and want a sequel
