My Review:

How Sweet It Is is the second book I have read by Andrea Christenson. I wanted to read this one because of the beautiful cover and the fictional town of Deep Haven, Minnesota.

I struggled to get into the storyline. The first few chapters are very detail oriented and some of the conversation felt stilted. However, once the story got its groove, it was a quick read. 

I like Robin, but sometimes I did not agree with her decisions. I admired her determination to take care of her grandparent's bakery and find creative ways to get out of debt. Sammy was the true hero of this story. Well, except when he was creating issues, LOL. I loved his sacrificing spirit and the way he helped so many people. 

Thank you to JustReads Publicity and the author for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

About the Book  

Sometimes the sweetest moments in life are made from the most familiar and ordinary ingredients.

Robin Fox is living out her dreams working in a gourmet bakery in Paris. She thought she’d live there forever, but when her relationship with her boss sours, those dreams crumble. She finds herself back home in Deep Haven, Minnesota, caring for her grandparents’ rundown bakery while they’re away. But she vows that when they return in six weeks, she’ll trade this ordinary life for the one she left behind.

Sammy Johnson has never gotten traction in any area of his life. This hasn’t improved in the almost two years since the accident which nearly killed him. Although his heart is still beating, it contains little passion for the life he’s living in Deep Haven. But that begins to change when he offers to help his former high school friend, Robin.

Working together to keep Fox Bakery from going under, they find more than friendship is simmering between them. But when the six weeks are up, will Robin follow her old dreams back to the glamor of Paris or will she discover how sweet it is to be loved in Deep Haven?

Return to Deep Haven with the Fox Family, where Robin and Sammy find that small town life isn’t ordinary after all.
