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...

    You can’t always tell who is the good guy.

  • 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

  • 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….

  • Poorly written

    A very disjointed story. Phrases and paragraphs are repeated. There are jumps in the story where the author writes as if the reader should know things that the author never disclosed. Seems like it was written by an amateur. Or possibly a computer program.

  • 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.

  • Spellcheck is not proofreading

    I have only read thr first two chapters and have lost count of errors. This is annoying and interferes with the story. Not worth the money for this author! OK, finished the book. The author is a storyteller and has good ideas. However, she is completely ignorant of the English language. Spelling, diction and grammar errors are the rule instead of the exception. Formatting is inconsistent and in spots make no sense. Example: the author stated that one character was in a trans. The correct word is trance, and she didn’t know something so simple. I love to read, but it was painful to read this.

    This story was awful. I can’t even describe how utterly ridiculous it is. First of all, does anyone read these before they are put online? I don’t think so. The grammar and the punctuation is atrocious, never mind the story line. It seems like the author may have had two possible scenarios and got confused when publishing this one? One part stands out, in the pharmacy a woman makes a derogatory statement and the mailman tells the heroine not to take offense with what that man said...really? Waste of time.
