Review: As Easy as Cherry Pie

 As Easy as Cherry Pie

"Maggie Petten has perfected the perfect pie—at least that’s what everyone who tastes her confections says. After years of hard work and thousands of pounds of sugar and flour, she’s presented with an opportunity to see her business grow. One that might just be too much for her tiny shop to handle.

Fletcher Knight can’t say no to those in need. When his father died, he found himself not only in charge of the family’s contracting business but also his younger brother. Certain he was prepared for the challenge, Fletcher learns the hard way that his kindness might be his weakness. After a few financial hits, the family business and his life are close to ruin, but once again, he finds it impossible to resist Maggie Petten.

Maggie isn’t in a position to be picky, but is she ready to work with Fletcher? After all, he was her worst (and best) first date experience a year ago, but his silence since then speaks volumes. Can she risk a few weeks of discomfort working with the man who might still own a slice of her heart if it gets her closer to her dream? Or is it safer to let the dream go?

When the project begins, discomfort is only the beginning. Things turn from awkward to disastrous leaving Maggie and Fletcher questioning their working relationship and more. As they work to overcome the difficulties and setbacks life and business throws at them, they begin to realize their differences make them a great team and together their success may cross from professional to personal.

Journey back to the small, coastal town of Justin Harbor, Oregon and let the warm, salty air surround you as this couple trips and stumbles into love."

I loved being back in Justin Harbor! I love small town romances and this was a just as sweet as pie!

Fletcher was the perfect mix of awkward and self assured. He fumbled a bit with Maggie, but as time went on his character grew and changed.

Maggie was sweet, if not a little pushy. But when it was finally brought to her attention she made active changes to better that flaw.

They were both awkward together, but in the end they were each other’s perfect match.

I loved that Maggie, Viv, and Emma were together a bit in this one! LOVE ALL THE FRIENDSHIPS! It was sweet!

I really loved Jackson & Fletcher’s dynamic too. You could see that Fletcher was trying so hard to be a brother and a parent but their love was still evident! It was a bittersweet touch to the story.

There were a lot of the “hallmark interruptions” through out the story and I wish they had been able to sit down and actually have a full conversation. But it added to the story line in the end. I did love that when they actually did talk they were super honest with each other and they listened and learned from one another.

Overall it was a sweet story!! (Like cherry pie 😉)
4/5 stars
