I’ve read three out of four books in this series. (My library doesn’t have number 2 for some reason). And this was my least favorite of the three I’ve read.
A Taste of Magic had some interesting parts. I particularly liked the magic of the desserts part and how Delilah bakes according to her moods or they don’t taste good. But there was some mild language, an illegitimate child with several references to the summer of their romance and tangled bedsheets etc… some innuendo for the present as well as the past and I was left wondering what the fortune from the cookie that he saved in his wallet actually said. I thought it would come back in the story somewhere but if it did, I missed it. I didn’t feel comfortable while reading this story since there were so many references to their past sex life I kept expecting them to pick it up again so I would only give this 3.5 stars.
The Art of Love was my least favorite in this book despite my quite liking Roxy as a character. I felt like she and Mark fell into the kissing before they had developed any real relationship and then I couldn’t accept Mark’s excuse of blaming the cupcakes for his horrible behavior at the picnic. Magic in the cupcakes or not, he was a jerky dork and I thought Roxy accepted his apology too easily. Only 3 stars for this one.
Much Ado About Cupcakes was the one I liked the best. I think the story had more depth and dealt with deeper emotions and thought processes. The conflict in the story felt more real and I cared more about the characters. Even though I don’t really get Vegan as a thing I liked the discussion about principles. I give this one 4.5 stars.
Overall I averaged out the three and rounded to 4 stars.
