Release Blitz & #Review ~ The Sweetheart Deal (Blossom Glen #1) by Miranda Liasson @mirandaliasson @EntangledPub
The Sweetheart Deal by Miranda Liasson is live!
From the bestselling author of the Angel Falls series, two enemies say "I do" in the first irresistible book about Blossom Glen.
Pastry chef Tessa Montgomery knows what everyone in the teeny town of Blossom Glen says about her. Spinster. Ice Queen. Such a shame. It's enough to make a woman bake her troubles away, dreaming of Parisian delicacies while she makes bread at her mother's struggling boulangerie. That is until Tessa's mortal enemy—deliciously handsome (if arrogant) chef Leo Castorini, who owns the restaurant next door—proposes a business plan...to get married.
Leo knows that the Castorinis and the Montgomerys hate each other, but a marriage might just force these stubborn families to work together and blend their businesses for success. The deal is simple: Tessa and Leo marry, live together for six months, and then go their separate ways. Easy peasy.
It's a sweetheart deal where everyone gets what they want—until feelings between the faux newlyweds start seriously complicating the mix. Have they discovered the perfect recipe for success...or is disaster on the way?
Tessa Montgomery’s fiancé’ left her for someone else a year ago. She’s been the talk of the town ever since, and not in a good way. Helping her mother and grandmother keep their generational boulangerie afloat, Tessa has big dreams of being a pastry chef. Her mother is stubborn and set in her ways, not allowing Tessa any creative freedom. A boulangerie is it and a boulangerie it will stay.
When she’s confronted by newly returned nemesis, Leo Castorini, and he makes an offer she can’t refuse, they travel down a path fit for disaster. Leo and Tessa are the children of a long-standing feud between generations of their family members. On opposing sides, Tessa’s family’s shop and Leo’s family restaurant are on the brink of disaster. Leo’s idea may just be what brings the families together and saves both businesses from financial ruin.
Desperation causes people to act and do things they would never have dreamed of in regular circumstances. Leo’s idea for he and Tessa to get married to get both families to work together may be exactly what is needed. When feelings start to get involved though, that could spell tragedy and make things worse if things don’t work.
The Sweetheart Deal is a cute romance with some anxiety-inducing moments. The author writes with realism and true emotion. I loved Tessa and Leo’s characters. They have a history but in the name of preservation they join forces. Leo and Tessa managed to smooth their past and move forward. I love the things Leo does for Tessa. I found myself rooting for Tessa and Leo even if their circumstances weren’t an ideal reason for marriage. I enjoyed the author’s writing style. The entire book flowed well, and the dialogue was conversational.
