Bittersweet_Final_Full_Wrap
From two USA Today bestselling authors comes a tale of miscommunication and muffins.
Romy Love knows weddings. As the author of a hugely successful wedding blog, you’d think she’d have love covered. It is her last name, after all.
When it comes to her big day, Romy has the flowers picked out, a dress collecting dust in the back of her closet, and a preacher on standby. There’s just one problem: the groom doesn’t know it yet.
Romy has eyes for the Italian coffee god and single dad who owns the bakery in her building—she also has plans for his delicious buns—but in order to get her happily-ever-after, she has a few things to check off her list first:
Lose twenty pounds
Take over the blogging world one wedding at a time
Make Coffee Hottie fall in love with me
Yeah, this shouldn’t be difficult at all.

REVIEW

I love Carmen Jenner reads but this is my first time of reading Lauren K. McKellar. That will definitely be changing i'll be checking out her books. But Carmen Jenner will always be a must read author her books always pull me in heart and mind.

Bittersweet is an adorably sweet read, great banter with two characters that are wanting a relationship. But are also very cautious when it comes to matters of the heart.

Romy is a wedding blogger and a self confessed coffee and muffin addict. She loves nothing more than spending her day blogging. Getting her daily fix from the coffee shop/bakery in her building. It also has left her pinning for the barista Elio, who she thinks is way out of her league. 

Elio owns and works in the coffee shop, he loves his job the bakery is everything to him. One of his highlights of the day is when his favourite customer comes in. Romy isn't just his favourite customer, she's slowly becoming someone he could see himself having a future with. There's just one thing that is holding him back, and that is his world... his daughter.

Having been burned in the past by love has left both Romy and Elio lacking the confidence to take that next step and start something new with someone. From this we get a nice slow burn read with misunderstandings. That had me wanting to slap them both upside the head. But also wanting to wrap my arms around them telling them everything would be ok. 


This book had it all from hilarious to swoon worthy moments. It's romance warmed my heart and left a smile on my face. With some great characters that pulled on my heart strings. And please tell me Bianca is getting a book? Because the side characters especially her where amazing and added to the great comedy banter!

Excerpt:
  Confident I no longer look like a cave troll, I grab my keys and wallet and rush downstairs. Elio is just turning the sign in the window when I virtually slam my body against it because I was running full-tilt down the stairs, and I can’t slow my velocity. He gives a startled laugh, and I flame bright red. Elio abandons his ‘closed sign and opens the door.“Hey.” “Hi. Sorry about that.” “Couldn’t wait to see me, huh?” His eyes burn with mischief. I blush and desire arcs through me, because really, it should be illegal for anyone to look that delicious in jeans and a T-shirt with a dishtowel slung over his shoulder. “Ha! Yeah.” I shake my head.“I mean no. I mean, Coffee. I’m lagging. Please, I’m really sorry. I know you’re closed and you wanna get home, and why wouldn’t you? It’s not like you want to stay at the shop all day when there’s wine to drink and cheese to nibble and classic books to read.” He frowns.“That’s your impression of me? That I nibble cheese while reading classic literature.” “And the wine,” my mouth supplies unhelpfully. He chuckles.“You may need a crash course in what men do after work. Here’s a hint: it’s not nibbling anything. Unless, of course, it comes to ear lobes.” Oh, wow. Okay. I would definitely prefer that to an expensive gouda. He grins.“Come on. I’ll do you better than just a coffee.” “Excuse me?” I squeak. Now he laughs outright.“Relax,Romy. My nonna is here, my sister too, and a bossy four-year-old. I promise, I won’t bite.” Not even if I want you to?
