Sweet Indulgence

by Debbie White

Overview

Real Men Eat Cupcakes. Just ask Annie McPherson...

Annie McPherson has had it with all the blind dates her grandmother and auntie set her up with. Her focus is the Sweet Indulgence cupcake bakery now.

Recovering from a gut-wrenching break-up, women are the last thing on Jack's mind. After a quick stop to the new and upcoming cupcake shop to pick up cupcakes for his niece's birthday party, Jack meets reserved Annie.

While helping him with his order, Annie notices his warm smile, the way he laughs when he gets icing on his fingers and then licks them like a big kid, and the cheesy grin when he realizes he's been caught, and for a fleeting moment wishes he'd been one of her blind dates.

Jack leaves with the cupcakes but Annie's twinkling eyes makes her hard to forget and for a brief moment he considers taking home something other than cupcakes. Annie watches him go but a little voice deep inside hopes he'll return and this time for something other than cupcakes.

Editorial Reviews

2018-02-07
A newly established businesswoman looks for love, hindered by a concerned grandmother, nosy aunt, and headstrong sister in this series opener.Annie McPherson is dedicated to getting her new business, Sweet Indulgence Cupcakery, off the ground and her meddling Grandmother Lilly and Auntie Patty off her back. Establishing her independence and her own household are the first steps for Annie, but then her business unexpectedly brings Jack Powell into her life. An instant attraction draws them together at every turn, sparked by meetings that Jack often engineers to ingratiate his way into Annie's life. Since he's a limousine driver for his family's tourism company, Annie worries whether her family will judge him financially worthy of her. He proves himself a well-established and devoted suitor who shows consideration for both Annie and her family. But the return of Annie's sister Mary, a wild child and impulsive character, from a European vacation threatens to derail the couple's romance. Is this development only a bump in the road? Will Annie and Jack overcome their past negative experiences in the game of love and their meddling families to come together in a committed relationship? White (Sweet Magnolia, 2018, etc.) is a veteran author who has written several novels and series. Her professionalism shows in her polished structure and dialogue, which eschew the common mistakes of novices. The inviting book is a standard contemporary romance that's on the tame side, with only vague references to physical intimacy that go no further than explicitly described kisses. The biggest disappointment comes from the series' structure. Since this installment's story must lead right into the next book, it lacks a firm ending, leaving readers without adequate resolution. In addition, the plot is a bit predictable and lacks romantic tension.A cozy, clean, contemporary romance.
