They say the course of true love never runs smooth.
That’s nothing a magical cupcake can’t solve.
Julie
Buttercream. Vanilla. Fondant. Dark chocolate. Brown sugar. Molasses. Baking has always been my true love, but it wasn’t until my mother’s death, and the unexpected inheritance of Serendipity Gardens, that my bliss called me. Bittersweet. But Serendipity Gardens has more to offer than just a potential shopfront. An unusual recipe box left to me by a distant relative might be the key to unlocking my dreams.
Too bad the most powerful family in Chancellor has plans that could turn those dreams to ruins—literally.
Too bad the son of that powerful family is just the kind of guy I’ve been looking for.
Horatio
I suppose being heir to the Hunter family’s Blushing Grape Winery should make me happy, but nothing could be further from the truth. With my mother gone, my father has taken me under his wing, and I despise everything about the way he does business. Sour grapes, indeed. Instead of raising money for charitable causes, my true passion, I’m chasing my father’s manifest destiny.
Too bad his dream includes paving paradise.
Too bad the property owner is the sweetest woman I’ve ever met.
The Cupcake Witch is a stand-alone sweet romance and book 2 of The Chancellor Fairy Tales series.
REVIEW
Poppy Lawless’ The Cupcake Witch is one of those stories you will fall in love with immediately. Told in first person from the dual point of views of Julie Dayton and Horatio Hunter, it is a sweet, magical, fairy-tale romance.
Julie and Horatio have recently both lost their mothers. Their loss puts both of their lives in turmoil. Julie finally comes to the realization she isn’t happy with living her life for her mother. When she sees the house that was left to her family by a distant relative, she knows she has to move in and follow her baking passion. For Horatio, his mother kept the family together. She made life fun and always showed her kids the importance of giving back to the community. Horatio wants to follow his mother’s example, however, his controlling father wants Horatio to focus on the family business.
The Cupcake Witch is the second book in the Chancellor Fairy Tales series. This is a completely standalone book. I definitely plan on going back and reading the first book, The Glass Mermaid. And, I’m sooooo looking forward to reading the third book, The Bee Charmer.

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I went back and read The Glass Mermaid. Now, I am patiently waiting on The Bee Charmer. Is there going to be a fourth book in the series? I don't know if I saw it somewhere or dreamed there was.
