When Sophie Bennings arrives in New York, love is the last thing on her mind. Still reeling from a painful break up, she throws herself into her work as a food editor on a top-notch magazine.

Columnist Todd McLennan is everything that Sophie wishes she didn’t want. Like the gorgeous bakery below her Brooklyn apartment, he’s as tempting as the sugary cupcakes on daily display. Surely a little of something you fancy can do you good?

As Sophie and Todd get to know one another, a love of food isn’t the only passion they share. In the city that never sleeps, has Sophie finally met the man of her dreams...?


Really sweet and charming read that made me long to go back to NYC - bad timing reading it in the middle of a pandemic when I can't go anywhere at all!!! :-P

Very predictable, but I knew that going into it, as the first book was much the same, but so charming that I didn't mind at all. I loved reading about Sophie's experiences exploring Manhattan and Brooklyn (and got some new ideas for my next visit!) and about her baking adventures with Betty. Would have loved to read more about her experiences at the magazine though!

There were some really odd errors from time to time (e.g. she got the title of "How I Met Your Mother" wrong! :-O ) and the end was a tad trite and wrapped up everything much more quickly than I would have liked, but all in all I loved it. Right book at the right time, I guess :-)
