Babycakes (A Cupcake Club Romance, 3)

And I love it. Who hates happiness? Yes, it may not have quite as much of life beating you down as....life has. However that is something I experience on the daily. Non stop. All day. Still happy because we deserve that but slightly more beaten down. How refreshing to be able to read through a series where you connect with the characters, want to be friends and hang with them, get involved with relationships, root for them and win. Cheers all around. It is complex enough to keep you reading and engaged and...happy. This book is fun like that similar to the rest of the series. Read on, sisters, and live your happy.

This is the third in Donna Kauffman's Cupcake Club series (Sugar Rush and Sweet Stuff came before it) and is the best of the three in my opinion. There is the H/h and also the Hero's adopted daughter. I liked that the dynamic between Kit and Morgan have; there is much less of the romantic insecurity. This time, though, our heroine has massive insecurities about her business capability. Sheesh, am I the only person who isn't beset by insecurities (not that I don't have my moments, I just don't dwell on them like this series's heroines do. Ms. Kauffman's writing is strong and the story is a good one. Morgan's adopted daughter, Lilly, is adorable and the use of other characters to round out the story is well done. As with all of Ms. K's books, it's well edited and the writing style is not distracted (e.g. few, if any typos and generally good grammar). I liked the series but prefer the author's other books more (e.g., The Great Scot or The Black Sheep and the Princess). If I decide to read this series again, it will take awhile as the books just didn't reel me in like some do.

This is a great continuation of the cupcake club series. Each of them stand alone but it is nice to start from the beginning and get more back story of the characters' history. Donna is a great writer and her characters are well developed and interesting. I would definitely recommend it

I enjoyed reading this book. It's a great read anytime, especially at the Beach. I've read the whole series and almost wish it would continue. The recipes at the end of the stories are great and I've saved them to my Recipe Folder to use as needed.

Really enjoy this series. The author has a great way with words and expressing the characters and emotions. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Lilly is such a joy to read about. Also, having the info about sea turtles was great. And so much added to the whole story.

As I read this book, the author impressed me with the caring nurturing example of the lead male character and his niece. The interaction the author wove was noble and pure. The book would have been even better if the male and female characters had dated, providing a pure pattern for Lilly of male female relationship building. Christmas gift of an engagement ring, subsequent wedding then steamy sex scenes would have been better.

I have enjoyed all the books for the Cupcake Club and anxiously await the next installment. All of the characters are unique and you can help wanted to be part o the cupcake club. Loving to cook and bak, I want to thank you for the delicious recipes you have included.
