Marigold

When enemies fall into temptation, love brings out the most delicious flavor of all.

Marigold Lavender lights up every room she enters. Then, she’s left to turn out the lights and head home alone. Soft on the inside and a go-getter on the outside, Marigold just wants to make sure everyone else is okay before worrying about herself. When an awful big-city food critic trashes her sister Aster’s new restaurant, Marigold pauses her search for her own happily-ever to go to war with the woman, who happens to be just as delectable as she is sour.

Alexis Wakefield’s brutal honesty is what makes her successful. Her listeners trust her judgment, and a few sharp strokes from her keyboard can make or break a new restaurant. When, on a whim, she reviews a small-town eatery getting lots of buzz, the owner’s sister sabotages everything, leaving her professional world in jeopardy. Marigold Lavender has gone too far, and must pay for the damage she's caused.

Love everything about this gorgeous story!

Wowwwww!!! This is going in the top favs for sure! The characters, the stories, the love, the family, the friendship, the fur babies, everything about this story brought me so much joy!

This was an OK book

I was very much into it through most of the book, but then it started to drag itself and I had to skip a little. I liked the MC and narration was good.

Seemed longer than necessary

The story got a little long about half way through so I stopped took a break went back and finished a few days later. The story was unique and I liked the close Lavendar Family and the way they supported each other. I wasn’t crazy about the narrator but she was adequate. I probably won’t read the other books in the series.

This author has other books I have enjoyed.

Another fantastic Melissa Brayden offering

I’ve never met a book by this author I haven’t loved but this series in particular is amazing. I love Lulu Larkin as the narrator too.

Fantastic story

The lavenders now hold a special place in my heart.
The story was funny memorable and unique and such a warm journey
