Emmy Spice has everything she needs—her late grandmother’s bakery, a calendar full of pumpkin bread orders, and Maplewood’s Harvest Festival just around the corner. Everything but the courage to tell her best friend she’s been in love with him since forever.
When firefighter Adam Fall returns home, Emmy’s world tilts. Their easy friendship feels different now—charged, unsteady, dangerous to her heart. But risking the truth means risking the one person she’s never wanted to lose.
As autumn
nights glow with bonfires and cider, Adam and Emmy must decide if friendship is
enough…or if love has been waiting for them all along.
This story was eighty pages of pure delight. I chose short books for this month because I knew I had a busy couple of weeks in the stretch.
Lauren Quinn wove a delightful fall story bringing two people back together. Pumpkin Spice Promises is Book 1 of three in the Hearts of Maplewood series. Because they are quick reads, I may have to pick up the remaining two just to find out what is up with Mrs. Peterson. I'm pretty sure she doesn't approve of Adam and Emmy reuniting. There is one in every crowd!
I love the bakery stories; heritage bakeries where the heroine is keeping the legacy of a grandmother or mother alive. Pumpkin Spice Promises is one of the best I've read so far. I can almost hear the bell above the door jingle, smell the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee and cinnamon wafting around me as I enter. Makes me want to go home and bake my mom's pumpkin spice cookies
If you're looking for a quick read on a lunch hour or a great seasonal read any time, I recommend Pumpkin Spice Promises by Lauren Quinn. I suggest a coffee cafe with your favorite coffee flavor and a pumpkin spice muffin.
I'm giving Pumpkin Spice Promises...
All my best!
