Bittersweet_Final_Full_Wrap

From two USA Today bestselling authors comes a tale of miscommunication and muffins.

Romy Love knows weddings. As the author of a hugely successful wedding blog, you’d think she’d have love covered. It is her last name, after all.

When it comes to her big day, Romy has the flowers picked out, a dress collecting dust in the back of her closet, and a preacher on standby. There’s just one problem: the groom doesn’t know it yet.

Romy has eyes for the Italian coffee god and single dad who owns the bakery in her building—she also has plans for his delicious buns—but in order to get her happily-ever-after, she has a few things to check off her list first:

Lose twenty pounds

Take over the blogging world one wedding at a time

Make Coffee Hottie fall in love with me

Yeah, this shouldn’t be difficult at all.

Renee’s Five Star Review 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
Romy Love knows weddings. As the author of a hugely successful wedding blog, you would think she would have love covered. It is her last name after all.

Lose twenty pounds. Take over the blogging world one wedding at a time. Make Coffee Hottie fall in love with her. You, this should not be difficult at all.
This book is so much fun to read. You are going to fall so in love with Romy. I found her to be real and funny and self conscious when she probably didn’t need to really be. She has a huge addiction to coffee and muffins and thank goodness there is a bakery/coffee shop attached to the bottom floor of the building she lives in. This is where she meets Elio, the Italian hottie who owns the bakery and where Romy spends most of her days working on her wedding blog. Each has secrets and past pain but most of all they are attracted to each other and neither has the nerve to tell the other. That is until a hug misunderstanding comes and tears everything they thought they knew all to pieces. Will they ever be able to have what they really want? Well, you have to read to find that out. Trust me you don’t want to miss this book. It will have you giggling and swooning and at times on the edge of your seat as you won’t see some things coming. I will warn you though that Coco and Elio are going to steal your heart and your not going to want it back at all. This is not a long read and I had so much fun reading it. Don’t miss Bittersweet!!!

Excerpt:

Confident I no longer look like a cave troll, I grab my keys and wallet and rush downstairs. Elio is just turning the sign in the window when I virtually slam my body against it because I was running full-tilt down the stairs, and I can’t slow my velocity. He gives a startled laugh, and I flame bright red.

Elio abandons his ‘closed sign and opens the door.“Hey.”

“Hi. Sorry about that.”

“Couldn’t wait to see me, huh?” His eyes burn with mischief. I blush and desire arcs through me, because really, it should be illegal for anyone to look that delicious in jeans and a T-shirt with a dishtowel slung over his shoulder.

“Ha! Yeah.” I shake my head.“I mean no. I mean, Coffee. I’m lagging. Please, I’m really sorry. I know you’re closed and you wanna get home, and why wouldn’t you? It’s not like you want to stay at the shop all day when there’s wine to drink and cheese to nibble and classic books to read.”

He frowns.“That’s your impression of me? That I nibble cheese while reading classic literature.”

“And the wine,” my mouth supplies unhelpfully.

He chuckles.“You may need a crash course in what men do after work. Here’s a hint: it’s not nibbling anything. Unless, of course, it comes to ear lobes.”

Oh, wow. Okay. I would definitely prefer that to an expensive gouda.

He grins.“Come on. I’ll do you better than just a coffee.”

“Excuse me?” I squeak.

Now he laughs outright.“Relax,Romy. My nonna is here, my sister too, and a bossy four-year-old. I promise, I won’t bite.”

Not even if I want you to?
