The Sweet Life by Suzanne Woods Fisher

 

Dawn Dixon can hardly believe she's on a groomless honeymoon on beautiful Cape Cod . . . with her mother. Sure, Marnie Dixon is good company, but Dawn was supposed to be here with Kevin, the love of her life (or so she thought).

Marnie Dixon needs some time away from the absolute realness of life as much as her jilted daughter does, and she's not about to let her only child suffer alone--even if Marnie herself had been doing precisely that for the past month.

Given the circumstances, maybe it was inevitable that Marnie would do something as rash as buy a run-down ice-cream shop in the town's tightly regulated historic district. After all, everything's better with ice cream.

Her exasperated daughter knows that she's the one who will have to clean up this mess. Even when her mother's impulsive real estate purchase brings Kevin back into her life, Dawn doesn't get her hopes up. Everyone knows that broken romances stay broken . . . don't they?

Welcome to a summer of sweet surprises on Cape Cod--a place where dreams just might come true.

I love just about any book that has to do with a bakery, ice cream parlor, candy shop or anything sweet. I also love stories about buying a run down place, pouring your heart and soul into it, and turning it into a hot spot that everyone wants to visit. I love those "rags to riches" type of stories. I was a cake decorator for a few years, so I love hearing about people's woes as well as triumphs! A fun read, and perfect for hot summer days. It will make you crave ice cream!

Thank you to Revell Books for a copy of this book for review!
