BLURB:
Love isn’t always a cakewalk . . .
Gigi Hawthorne is starting from scratch. She just didn’t realize until her crappy car broke down that she was going to be doing it in a small town in Vermont. With an eye for design and some serious decorating skills, she’s managed to land a job making delectable treats for the patrons of the Busy Bean. Now she’s up to her elbows in sugar and flour, but her thoughts are never far from her gorgeous, brooding landlord.
Holden St. James swears he isn’t a recluse. He goes to the local coffee shop three times a week, doesn’t he? Yeah, maybe he never actually talks to anyone, but with a backstory of loss, pain, and regret like his, he’s pretty sure he wouldn’t be very good company anyway. Yet something about his new tenant makes him wonder if maybe it’s time to let someone open the oven door and release a little heat into his closed-off world.
But both are hiding secrets as dark as an espresso mocha cupcake and they’re not sure if they can trust each other. Will the truth break their delicate relationship into sad, sweet crumbs--or will it turn out to be the key ingredient in the recipe for a new life?
REVIEW: CAKEWALK (BUSY BEAN) BY CLAIRE HASTINGS
Cakewalk by Claire Hastings
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Cakewalk seems so simple, but reveals itself to be anything but. Dive heart first into a tale of multiple twists and turns. From new beginnings to past mistakes, it's hard to outrun the shadows. Gigi and Holden are alluringly complicated. Learning how to live, but afraid of the emotion that entails. Hastings continues to push the boundaries of the heart with undeniable ease.

BLURB:
Send him on a downward spiral.
I would've punched my own ticket if it weren't for the Satan's Knights.
Instead, I became the VP of the Knightdale Charter.
A man can't drown in his misery when he's got responsibilities.
So I look for things to dull the pain.
Sex. Drugs. Whatever.
When you've been to hell and back, the only time worth having is a good one.
My little Birdie knows this self-destructive path, too.
That's why I can't stay away from her.
The highs are higher when you don't fly alone.
But I'm not the only ghost in her life, and her past isn't letting her go.
I thought my club was the only thing left for me to love.
He was single.
He had his dream job as GM of the Baltimore Breakers hockey franchise, and he was happy.
Lie.
Because the woman he was in love with was married.
To a perfectly nice man who loved her and cared for her and treated her like the queen she was.
But then Lexi showed up at his house, tears in her eyes, Caleb out of the picture, and he finally had a shot.
A real shot.
At love.
The trouble was that Luc had spent almost the entirety of his adult life running from love. He didn’t do relationships, not any longer.
But . . . Lexi was hurt, absolutely devastated, and she needed care and gentleness and deserved all of the romance in the world.
So he needed to man up and find a way to convince her to give him that shot.
