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.
Blurb: Everyone knows business and pleasure don't mix . . . or do they?
Andi Burke has a dream—a kitchen big enough to dance in, regular income to support her daughter, and a chance to find true love. So when she enlists her sister Kim and their bubbly best friend Rachel to help open Creative Cupcakes, it all seems perfect.
Especially when hunky local reporter Jake Hartman offers to finance the store for them. Andi hasn't dated since her divorce, but the way Jake keeps looking at her might make her change her mind. After all, what could go wrong?
Plenty! There's a shady tattoo parlor behind their shop, a crowd of crazy Zumba dancers out front (chanting "Lose the fat, dance with Pat!"), and about the only thing going right is Andi's romance . . . until Jake's media crew captures a story that could shut the two of them down forever.
