Review~ I know I said the same thing in my The Pumpkin Spice Cafe review but the way I DEVOURED this book. If I had the time to sit down and read this book in one sitting, I wouldn’t have hesitated.
Kira has honestly become one of my favorite characters, she’s flawed and she’s highly aware of that fact and she does her best to not feed into her need of relying on others to do the job for her. You get to see and watch as she works out the difference between expecting someone to help you versus asking for help when you need it.
Bennett is Mr. Fix-it and I love him so much! But that’s not to say that fixing everyone else’s problems is a good thing and he comes to understand that himself.
The spice in this story was better than the last and I just know that the next book is going to be just as good if not better. Not going to lie though… I thought something more was going on with Jacob and Bennett that was let on in The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore but regardless of that this series has been one of my absolute favorites and I honestly can’t get enough of it. I will be scratching at the bars of my enclosure until I can get the next book… Until then!
