"oh yes, there is definitely Spice"
Rayne Jankowski is content with her life. She has a new
café specializing in healthy snacks, herbal brews and
neighborhood socializing. She had been born into
a "special" family with "special powers". However,
somewhere along the way, she got overlooked in the "special
powers" department or so she thought. Running from the family she moved to another city, opened
her café and was enjoying being the favorite of the
community. Customers had their favorites of her pastries,
breads and wares and would come in repeatedly. One
customer, Scott Marsten, became her favorite and The
Essence of Life became his favorite stopping place for
breakfast. Even, Shamus, his Weimaraner, looked forward to
their morning stroll to visit with Rayne. Things between Rayne and Scott quickly heat up yet Rayne
can't believe that Scott would like a full-figured woman
like her. Didn't hunks like Scott normally like the usual
Barbie doll figure? Can Scott convince her that he doesn't
care about those things? Is his fondness for her muffins
the key to his love? I loved this story! It's a quick easy read, yet grabbed me
from the first page. Rayne is adorable. I would love to
meet her and could see myself being a repeat customer to
The Essence of Life. Scott is the perfect beau and who can
turn down the affections of a beautiful Weimaraner? We
don't meet the next door neighbor Mr. Petrelli; however,
Rayne goes to bat for him and we learn that he and his wife
own the flower shop next door. Josie Weston, Rayne's
employee could have her own story, especially when Forrest
shows up and begins helping Rayne out so she could have
some time off. (Liz, please do a story for Forrest and
Josie, begging on bended knee...) Spice, oh yes, there is definitely Spice. Neither Rayne
nor Scott are new to sex and I could certainly have used a
fan! Grab a muffin, some hot tea, find a comfy chair and pick up
Sugar and Spice. This book will have your mouth watering
for more.
