About the Book
They’ve helped orchestrate the perfect day for countless couples. Now
twelve new couples will find themselves in the wedding spotlight in the
second Year of Weddings novella collection.
Meadow knows how to serve delicious food to match any wedding theme.
But can she accept love when it's served up on a silver platter?
During one of the biggest weeks of her catering career, Meadow
Larson’s kitchen roof caves in after an unrelenting blizzard. She has to
accept help from the last person on earth she wants to see: Colin
McGrath. The tormentor from her past is now a contractor, her new
neighbor—and the only person available to take on a project of this
size.
Colin is aware God has given him a second chance to make things right
with Meadow after bullying her in high school. After years of regret
and guilt, Colin is determined to earn her respect and forgiveness, no
matter what it takes.
It’ll take an extreme kitchen renovation, several cooking lessons, a
little lace, and a lot of grace, but God is using this renovation
project not only to restore Meadow’s heart, but also to restore Colin’s
integrity in her eyes. Will Meadow learn to trust the new Colin even as
their relationship grows from a business exchange to something more
meaningful?
My Thoughts
As I've come to expect from this series, Serving Up a Sweetheart is a quick read. The story is cute, and I enjoyed reading about characters who reconnected after many years—and a painful past. It was also cute to see them bond over Meadow's catering business.
This story wasn't a total homerun for me, though. I had a few hangups with how the plot played out, and it got a bit "preachy" at times. And while I understood where Meadow was coming from on her past hurts, she drove me crazy with her wishy-washy attitude.
Overall, though, the story was sweet and I enjoyed this quick read. If you enjoy contemporary romance, you should check this one out. [3 stars]
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my fair and honest review.
