Reverse your stress at Cozy Cupcakes Café. Remember, 'stressed' is 'desserts' spelled backwards!
Her ex-fiancé ran off with her money, her dreams, and her best friend. But that won't stop Dana Sweet from trying to make a fresh new start. They say the best revenge is sweet success and that's what Dana plans to do. Turn the struggling cupcake café she inherited from her grandmother into a success. Dana takes a chance and re-opens the café under a new name, Cozy Cupcakes Café, where frosted cupcakes are served with a spoon and delivered with a sweet fortune cookie-like message to brighten customers' days.
But moving back to Berry Cove in Ontario is not as easy as it looks. For one thing, Dana is not welcomed to town by her competitor. Moreover, the employees at the bake shop haven't warmed up to her yet. And when the Berry Cove Gazette food critic who gave the café a scathing review turns up dead, all sticky fingers point to Dana. And now a gorgeous detective has her under surveillance...

Okay story that requires editing
Telling the reader the same thing over & over again isn’t helpful to the flow of the story (name for computer is “Mac” or at least once or twice in each of the first chapters that her Grandmother’s Cafe needed to succeed. )
There are sudden switches in the story line especially at the end as the murderer is revealed. Noted that the main character’s uncle was infirm at the end but not so earlier. I wanted to like this story….
Historical inaccuracy.
Antiquated in this book refers to older generations congruently with large electronic devices. Shockingly, the book didn’t mention how shoddy cell phone reception might be for older generations when they were children. The generalized disconnect of time frame and technology prevented me from delving into the story and I stopped reading after a few chapters.
The Nightshift 2.0
Good afternoon read.
Someone wrote about her sentence structure, but do they realize that is the editor’s job. I enjoyed the plot very much and that there were so many suspects to choose from.
