5 Stars

Mattie Spencer owner of Sweet treats Bakery, along with her three younger sister’s work hard to try and make it a thriving business.  When Mattie took on the job of raising her younger sisters she let love and marriage pass her by. As she watches her sisters grow up, get married and now with families of their own is she content on just being an aunt? Tyler Jacobs is raising his 7 year old daughter by himself after he lost his wife Tessa 3 years earlier in childbirth. A local firefighter, he drops in the bakery every morning for his coffee, a morning chat with Mattie and her newest sweet treat, mint meltaways. As feelings between the two look like they are turning to romance there is one thing  that will place a gulf between them that will be hard to cross. Even though Mattie loves Jacob’s daughter Jessie, she wants children of her own. At 35 years of age is she to old to go through  childbirth? Can Jacob let go of the fear and death of his wife and son or will he let Mattie slip through his fingers? Will he let go and let God handle the situation? What part does Jessie play in this romance?

This was the first book I have read in the Sweet Treats Series but I fell in love with the story.  As I looked the others up I see where these can be read as a standalone even though you will meet some of the same characters. This was such a heartwarming story that shows us the main thing we need is faith and that everything is in His hands and He knows the outcome.  This is a great afternoon read that I would recommend for everyone.

This review copy was provided to me by White Rose Publishing for my honest opinion. No compensation was received for the review of this book.
