Lucy Brewer would never have guessed that her best friend, Duffy
McCready (of McCready’s Bait Shop & Funeral Home) has been in love
with her since they were kids. Fear of rejection and his own romantic
complications prevented Duffy from confessing his true feelings in high
school, so he stood by and watched her wed Wayne Bowman right after high
school. Wayne had always been a cheapskate, so it comes as no surprise
when he suffers a fatal accident while fixing his own truck.
Even
as her family and friends invade Lucy’s life and insist that the new
widow is too fragile to do much beyond weeping, Lucy is ashamed to admit
that life without Wayne is easier, less complicated. After all, no one
knew what a relentless, soul-grinding trudge marriage to Wayne had been.
Only Duffy can tell she’s hiding something.
In need of a fresh
start, Lucy asks Duffy to put his cabinet-building skills to use,
transforming the town's meat shop into a bake shop. As the bakery takes
shape, Lucy and Duffy discover the spark that pulled them together so
many years ago. Could this finally be the second chance he’s always
hoped for?
This was another fun romantic
comedy from Molly Harper. This also ends the Southern Eclectic trilogy.
For the most part I liked this book, although there were a few times
where I thought certain people needed to speak up more, and others
needed to maybe not overreact so much. I liked the characters and it was
nice to see Duffy get his life straightened out and find love. This
book had me laughing right from the start. The part with the cake for the
bachelorette party had me laughing so much. I was reading it in bed one night and was
trying to hold back laughter so I wouldn't wake my husband up!
As
a whole I've liked this series. I think I liked this book the least out
of the three, but it was still good fun. I liked the Southern charm,
the wackiness, and of course the romance. These are good comfort reads
for when you just want something light and fun. I'm going to miss
visiting the McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop.
