What They Say:
Maple sugar kisses
Lucy would do anything for her mom…but she never
expected to end up promising to leave her. After her mom got sick, Lucy dropped
everything to take care of her, working all hours in a greasy diner just to
make ends meet and spending every spare moments she had by her mom’s hospital
bedside.
Now, Lucy is faced with a whole year of living by
her own rules, starting by taking the first bus out of town to anywhere…
Except she didn’t expect to find her next big
adventure just around the corner! Especially when on her first day in town she
bumps into grumpy, but oh-so-delicious Clay amidst the maple trees. Surrounded
by the magic of Ashford, Lucy has the chance to change her life forever and
finally discover a life she wants to live!
Fall in love with Ashford, Connecticut
in this dazzling and beautiful romance from bestselling author Rebecca Raisin.
What I Say:
I would like to thank Rebecca Raisin for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
When we first meet Lucy her life is endless shifts at a diner she hates and hospital visits to see her mum. Her mum tells Lucy to take some time out and go travelling. This is where Lucy ends up in Ashford.
Right from page one I liked Lucy, she wanted to do her best by her mom, but at the same time she has given up so much. Lucy instantly meets CeeCee who fans of Rebecca's other books will know from The Gingerbread Cafe trilogy. Don't get me wrong this book can be read as a standalone but for me it was lovely to see some characters from other books.
Rebecca also introduces some new characters, there is the smouldering hot Clay who has a body to die for and I know why Lucy would find herself watching him. Although when I was originally told about this Clay was tall dark and handsome (my kind of man). I haven't forgiven Bec for changing his hair colour to dirty blonde.
The story is based around the maple syrup farm where both Lucy and Clay have secrets but the farm it's self has a massive secret, would they all be found out? I loved the research Bec has done around how to produce maple syrup and found this added another dimension to this story. I stayed up one night to read this in one sitting and totally enjoyed it, hoping to hear more from Clay and Lucy.
