Synopsis

The New York Times bestselling author of The Lost and Found Bookstore returns to Perdita Street with a can’t-miss tale of friendship, hardship, redemption, and love between a San Francisco baker and a barbecue master from Texas.Jerome “Sugar” Barnes learned the art of baking in his grandma’s bakery, also called Sugar, on historic Perdita Street in San Francisco. He supplies baked goods to the Lost and Found Bookshop across the street.When the restaurant that shares his commercial kitchen loses its longtime tenant, a newcomer moves in: Margot Salton, a barbecue master from Texas.Margot isn’t exactly on the run, but she needs a fresh start. She’s taken care of herself her whole life, pulling herself up by her fingernails to recover from trauma, and her dream has been to open a restaurant somewhere far, far from Texas. The shared kitchen with Jerome Sugar’s bakery is the perfect setup: a state-of-the-art kitchen and a vibrant neighborhood popular with tourists and locals.Margot instantly takes to Jerome’s grandmother, the lively, opinionated Ida, and the older woman proves to be a good mentor. Margot thinks Jerome is gorgeous, and despite their different backgrounds their attraction is powerful—even though Jerome worries that Margot will simply move on from him once she’s found some peace and stability. But just as she starts to relax into a happy new future, Margot’s past in Texas comes back to haunt her…Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

"Maybe sometimes love deserves a second chance because it wasn't ready the first time around." - unknown Second chances, good food, romance, and the past all rolled into one! But first, that cover!

(2.5 stars) Trigger Warning: mention of SA When I started this book, I was really enjoying it. The stories of Ida's growing up and Margot's restaurant quest were described with lovely detail and I felt pulled into their worlds. The food that was discussed had my mouth watering. I was excited to read a......more

She meets Ida the owner, and they forge a deal. Then she meets Jerome, Ida’s son, who runs the bakery. Jerome and Margot......more
