About this audiobook
From the RITA Award-winning author of Five Days in Skye comes a sweet, romantic treat that will leave you hungry for more.
Baker and pastry chef Melody Johansson has always believed in finding the positive in every situation, but seven years after she moved to Denver, she can't deny that she's stuck in a rut. One relationship after another has ended in disaster, and her classical French training is being wasted on her night job in a mediocre chain bakery. Then the charming and handsome private pilot Justin Keller lands on the doorstep of her workplace in a snowstorm, and Melody feels like it's a sign that her luck is finally turning around.
Justin is intrigued by the lively bohemian baker, but the last thing he's looking for is a relationship. His own romantic failures have proven that the demands of his job are incompatible with meaningful connections, and he's already pledged his life savings to a new business venture across the country―an island air charter in Florida with his sister and brother-in-law.
Against their better judgment, Melody and Justin find themselves drawn together by their unconventional career choices and shared love of adventure. But when an unexpected windfall provides Melody with the chance to open her dream bakery-café in Denver with her best friend, chef Rachel Bishop, she's faced with an impossible choice: stay and put down roots with the people and place she's come to call home . . . or give it all up for the man she loves.

Reviews for Brunch at Bittersweet Cafe
40 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you're into G-d, fine. If there were significant less religion, it would be a great story, especially the baking descriptions.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The food descriptions were even better in this book than the first one in the series. I appreciated the mostly accurate aviation parts, especially the soft field take off. Survivors guilt was well portrayed, and after having lost someone dear to me a few months ago, I really felt that. 4/5 stars because while the first had a smidge of Christian lit, this one felt too heavy handed for me at the end. It completely took me out of the book and stole agency from both main characters.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this sweet love story. Thumbs up :) :)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The story line was entertaining. I loved the Christian elements. However because of technical glitches part of the book was cut off skipping over sections with silence and resuming without covering what was missed. Also, the reader’s male voices all sounded the same so that it was difficult to tell which male was speaking if a dialogue ensued.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoy her writing style and descriptions! Thank you! I want more!
