The Café at Sugar Sand Inn

Sugar Sand Beach, Book 3

De: Leigh Duncan

Narrado por: Erin Bennett

Escape to Sugar Sand Beach with Nina Gray and her best friends for a second chance at all life has to offer.

At forty-five, Chef Nina has all but given up on her dream of having a kitchen of her very own. Once hailed as the fresh, new face on the restaurant scene, she saw her hopes for the future fall like an overbaked soufflé after the man she loved betrayed her and destroyed her reputation.

For ten years, Nina has worked hard at regaining the trust of the top chefs in the DC area. But opening a restaurant of her own? That dream went up in a puff of smoke a long time ago. Or she thought it had…

Until, thanks to the best friends a girl could ever want, Nina gets one more chance to make her dreams come true. While Michelle, Reggie and Erin concentrate on converting a run-down beach house into an inn, Nina tests out new dishes and recipes for the soon-to-be-opened Café at Sugar Sand Inn. But when rumors of Nina’s past threaten the Café, will diners and guests patronize the beautiful restaurant she’s always wanted? Or will history repeat itself?

Join Nina, Michelle, Reggie and Erin as they build new lives in Sugar Sand Beach, where fresh opportunities for life, love and happiness are as limitless as the blue Florida skies.

Strong women come out strong again

It was great to see the chef of Sugar Sand Inn come out on top, and the inn getting closer to a full opening!

Wonderful Story

You get so caught up and what is going on with these characters that you can’t put it down. I recommend it highly.

Light and airy

This is a good light book - what some call a beach read. You know it's generally going to turn out right, nobody gets murdered, etc. So my only complaint is that when a narrator prepares to narrate a book, she/he should learn nearby geographic pronunciations. Choctawhatchee Bay is NOT pronounced Choca-WHAT-CHEE. It's Chocta-hatchee. Panama City isn't PA-ne-muh City, emphasis on the first sylable. It's PanaMA, mild emphasis on MA. Like the country Panama.

Interesting Back stories

Mixing the friends lives and stories seamlessly makes this series more interesting. Adding in potential love and family interests works works well with these books. Nice, easy read!

Beautiful friendship and hope

Characters are well written and relatable. Strength and hope represented in the story of beautiful friendships. Narration voices are well done and captures each character’s emotions.
