Series: Blueberry Point Romance: Book 4
Release Date: September 28, 2021
Genre: Clean Contemporary Romance

When Love Gives You Lemons, Make Lemon Pie!

Ambitious pastry chef Mila Warner dreams of winning the Taste of the North Shore Festival bake-off, hoping it will catapult her onto the regional food scene once and for all. Maybe claiming the top prize will be her ticket to earning a livable income without holding down three jobs, including the pleasant but stagnant job of overseeing the kitchen staff at Blueberry Point Lodge. Her only problem is paying that hefty entry fee.

As interim editor of the Lakeshore Weekly, Cam Beckett is sticking around long enough for his publisher to find someone else to fill the role. He has four weeks to plan a special supplement for the local food festival. His first task—interviewing Mila Warner who has charmed the local food scene—and him—with her custom picnics and sought-after pastries.

When a mysterious benefactor steps forward to sponsor Mila, her dream is within reach. But the gift comes with a condition, one Mila isn’t sure she’s willing to meet, especially if the strings are attached to someone’s heart.

Love, Lies and Lemon Pie is a sweet, small-town romance with endearing characters and an oh-so-satisfying happily ever after. You’ll love this addition to the Blueberry Point series. Start reading today!

My Review

I have enjoyed this series so much, but Love, Lies and Lemon Pie is hands down my favorite! I loved being back in Blueberry Point and this book focuses on Mila Warner, the immensely talented baker from the Blueberry Pointe Lodge. It starts with some personal drama that puts a major wrench in Mila Warner’s plans for her future. This girl is driven, so she doesn’t let this setback bring her down, and with the help of new new friend, Cam Beckett, her dreams are just within reach.

Cam had my heart from the beginning. You can tell he’s genuinely a good guy, and being a writer and newspaper man definitely had him capture my heart!

This clean romcom has its fair share of drama, in the most lighthearted way, and is the sweetest escape. After watching quite a few Hallmark Christmas movies I could see this being added to the roster. It’s got such charm, the writing is wonderful, and I enjoyed all the banter between the characters. It was so easy to get lost in this world, and I loved seeing how everything played out.

If you like clean romances with just a hint of spice, then you’ll love Love, Lies and Lemon Pie.
