Publisher's summary

Molten chocolate...cinnamon spice...gingerbread...old-fashioned Vanilla... You can't stop at just one. And the women of the Cupcake Club love to indulge....

Kit Bellamy was raised on pie. Mamie Sue's Peanut Pies, to be exact, the family company her scheming brother-in-law sold out from under her. Now Kit needs a new recipe for her life - and sleepy Sugarberry Island is the first ingredient. Running mail-order cupcake business Babycakes is a chance to get her baking on again - until she meets tall, dark, and adorable lawyer Morgan Westlake. New to the island to raise his goddaughter, he's as mouthwatering as any of Kit's creations. It's just her luck that he's the spawn of the very law firm that helped crush her dreams.... Fortunately, Kit's new friends can assure her that Morgan is no typical Westlake - and that even lawyers, not to mention single dads, need romance. If Kit can just be persuaded to follow her appetite - and set another place at her holiday table - her sweetest dreams just might come true....

Critic reviews

"One incredibly sweet read!" (Mariah Stewart, New York Times best-selling author)

Made for each other

Sweet damaged and very sad people find each other and help each other heal and learn to trust and love again. A little bit contrived, yes. A bit formulaic, yes and an obvious happily ever after too, but what is wrong with that? The narration was wonderful and I am off to download the next in the series!! If you are looking for a nice easy listen that will make you smile than this is absolutely a title for you to download.

Lovely story, but narration...

Nice love story, nothing earth-shattering. I normally love Amanda Ronconi. She is a great narrator and I have listened to many of the books she narrated. But this book is something else. Her impression of a five-year-old American girl sounds exactly like my Chinese-born 50-year-old friend. This really threw me off. Hope she doesn’t do it again.

Fun book

I would have like the series to continue. The books are funny and the characters are fun. I like the narrator. I’ve read other reviews. Not sure you can say anything negative. It’s light and fun to listen to.

Better!

Glad I pushed through the first two to get to this one! Story is much more interesting and has less filler. Scenes with friends/ the cupcake club are actually relevant to pushing the story foreward and aren't crazy long like the last two books.

Lovely book!

Each book in the series gets better and better. Heartwarming. Give this series a chance.

very yummy

I really want to move to Sugar berry!!
Maybe I could find my true love there, Lol.

great book

great book.  I really enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more by the author.

Heartwarming

Book 3 in the Cupcake Club series is heartwarming and delightful. Great addition to the series and stays within the storyline of the first 2.

Narration- ughhhhh

Normally I really like this narrator, but her impression of the five-year-old girl was enough to put me over the edge! I literally fast forwarded every time she did the impression of the child- I literally love this series but the impression is beyond painful!

Light and Easy Listen

This was a fun, easy listen. Enjoyed the characters and continuation of their stories through the series, but was a little one-note in terms of the story. Any conflict between characters happened in the past and they were working on being together now, so it didn't really play into any story tension so it's climax felt like it fell a little flat, which is sad since this one had the most potential to have something for the characters to come together and fight for.
Listened as part of Audible's new Member Benefit Free Listens and enjoyed it, but likely wouldn't have spent money or a credit on it to buy it.
