About this listen
From the RITA award-winning author of Five Days in Skye comes a sweet, romantic treat that will leave you hungry for more.
Baker and pastry chef Melody Johansson has always believed in finding the positive in every situation, but seven years after she moved to Denver, she can’t deny that she’s stuck in a rut. One relationship after another has ended in disaster, and her classical French training is being wasted on her night job in a mediocre chain bakery. Then the charming and handsome private pilot Justin Keller lands on the doorstep of her workplace in a snowstorm, and Melody feels like it’s a sign that her luck is finally turning around.
Justin is intrigued by the lively bohemian baker, but the last thing he’s looking for is a relationship. His own romantic failures have proven that the demands of his job are incompatible with meaningful connections, and he’s already pledged his life savings to a new business venture across the country - an island air charter in Florida with his sister and brother-in-law.
Against their better judgment, Melody and Justin find themselves drawn together by their unconventional career choices and shared love of adventure. But when an unexpected windfall provides Melody with the chance to open her dream bakery-café in Denver with her best friend, chef Rachel Bishop, she’s faced with an impossible choice: Stay and put down roots with the people and place she’s come to call home...or give it all up for the man she loves.

Sublime!
Warning: reading this book may induce hunger...and may also cause some readers to mourn their lack of imagination when it comes to their culinary skills (raising hand sheepishly.) I'm not a foodie, but this book makes me want to be one! If I wasn't drooling over the hero (which I was -- a lot!) I was drooling over the food descriptions!
What an emotional love story! Despite their imperfections, Justin and Melody are perfect for each other BUT the timing is all wrong. Honestly, I ached with yearning the whole read through. I couldn't see any clear path to a happily ever after and I was desperate for one so I grabbed a box of tissues and hunkered down for the last half the book, hoping the author would mend my broken heart by 'the end.' (She did, but in a realistic, challenging kind of way which I really appreciated.)
Loved how the romance developed -- from that first accidental meeting where sparks fly but level heads prevail to the individual angsty longings that develop into a wary circling of dating within perimeters which leads to complications and heartache and torturous nail-biting, sob-heaving anguish for sensitive readers like me. :-)
