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."

Dreams, Love and Carbs.
You can't go wrong with any of these things!
I loved the premise of this book! The best friends-- who are more like sisters--, the dreams put on hold until they finally got fed up with life and made their dreams a reality, the bakery and all the things that went with it.
It was different than anything I've read in this genre before.
There were some great characters in this book. The main characters and the side characters!
Melody just wanted to be somebody's pick. She had a lot relationships fall through, she was hurt time and time again by people she thought loved her. Yet through it all she kept this hope for a happily ever after.
She was an easy going character, but she was still knew how to take control of a situation.
Justin was a strong character who didn't want to give up the control he had on his life. He had a plan and he stuck with it. He was a flirtatious hunk, but underneath he was scared to stray away from the comfortable.
He was a great guy, and I loved him! 😍
There was a lot of chemistry in this book! (I love chemistry, but there were a few instances that were bordering on too much) Still I loved it! There was a ton of wit and banter from all the characters , but especially from Justin & Melody. I was smiling like a fool because if the dialogue.
There were a few things I personally did not agree with. In the end the author got the message that we need to trust God even when the answer seems like a "no", it might just mean "not yet". It was full of hope.
Overall it was a really great read! I did enjoy the writing style and I am excited to give the next book a try.
I rated it a 4/5 stars.
