She finds herself attracted to this man despite having a 'picture perfect' fiance back in Manhattan. Her grandmother requested that she find her childhood sweetheart and give him a letter she had written right before she died.Įllen hopes that her trip will be a day or two at the most however, when she falls into the bay and has to be saved by a carpenter, things quickly become complicated.

How gorgeous is this cover? It makes me want to have some toast and blueberry jam! And as far as the title goes, it's cute (and almost 'irresistible') albeit a little long. I am such a sucker for books with food themes, so when I saw the title and cover of THE IRRESISTIBLE BLUEBERRY BAKESHOP & CAFE by Mary Simses, I couldn't help but want to read it.
