Sugar - Book Review

The 15th book I read for my 24 books in 2017 was Sugar by Kimberly Stuart.


Sugar: A Novel by Kimberly Stuart
Paperback: 248 pages  Publisher: Skyhorse Publishing (February 7, 2017)

Ok, anyone that truly knows me, and maybe even not so truly, knows that I love everything about food.  The taste, the sight, the smell, cooking it, eating it... everything! I also love Chick Flicks and Chick lit. Give me a good love story that makes me laugh and cry, and I'll read it or watch it over and over and over again. This book was everything I love all rolled inside of one cover.

Charlie Garrett works at a very high profile restaurant in New York City.  She dreams of one day becoming the executive pastry chef but doesn't seem to be making any progress where she's at. One day her ex-boyfriend Avery Michaels comes to her restaurant and asks her to come work with him at his new restaurant across the country in Seattle as his executive pastry chef.  When she gets to Seattle she finds she has a stunning new Penthouse apartment, a long time close friend near by, and her dream job. It's all to good to be true because soon she finds out that a large part of why she's been called out to Seattle is to star in a reality TV show about the restaurant. The reality show doesn't give her much time for her personal life, or her new relationship with Kai, a gorgeous local diner owner.

I would recommend this book to anyone with a zest for food and romance. The romance, while an important part, does not overwhelm the story like some novels tend to do. The ins and outs of her job are so detailed and specific that I looked up the author, Kimberly Stuart, to see if she had a past in culinary arts or the restaurant business at all.  A definite must read this summer.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
