Making Up for Lost Time

This is a delightfully original romance that I find something new to enjoy each time I read it. As with all this author's novels you always get more than a romance. In this novel Jamie has a complex family history that is quite moving. Many laugh out loud moments make this reading wonderfully sweet and very much a page turner. I was totally invested at the end of the first chapters with Jamie and Val - I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. My admittedly high expectations from this author based on previous novels were delectably fulfilled in this novel. Scrumptious food, a charming Inn, wonderful characters, a little heartache, laugh out loud humor and a lot of love - I really couldn't want more than that in a romance. Add in terrific writing and you will find the author at the top of her game in this novel. Now for some bread pudding - yum! Don't miss the further adventures of these charming people in the author's anthology 'Frosting on The Cake' If you liked this novel you also gobble up these novels from this author - Sugar Just Like That Paperback Romance Carpool Unforgettable Embrace in Motion

There were times that I would be reading this book and my partner would look at me like I had fallen off the moon because I would be laughing out loud! I couldn't help myself. Karin has the best sense of humor and a great hold on what is sexy. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a really great time not just a great read. And the recipes sound wonderful! Please check this out.

She's got a tool belt and knows how to use it! She's such a fun character -- a little naughty and likes to play the field. Then whammo! Jamie's serious ways sneak into her heart. This book reads fast, is light and sexy, and filled to the brim with chocolate and other goodies. A real treat for all the senses!

Not since Paperback Romance has Karin Kallmaker written a book so lighthearted and delectable. It's as delicious as all the recipes included, and as funny as a screwball comedy. Val's little white lies have caught up to her and she needs to prove that not only can she completely renovate and redecorate an old inn, she also needs to prove she can cook. Jamie has an old inn needing repair. She's clueless with a hammer, but she can cook like Julia Child. Val is flightly. Jamie is serious. Val likes to knock down walls. Jamie likes to punch down dough. Can two crazy, mismatched gals find love in a small town? This is a Kallmaker romance. Of course the answer is yes! Along the way is the use of chocolate body paint that put me in a swoon. I read that part twice. Okay, three times.

You will like Jamie and Val-they are both down to earth and not at all interested in each other-right! Throw in a little innocent deception, a few skeletons in the closet, and a love triangle or two and you have the recipe for yet another great lesbian romance story.
