The key to love

The key to love

Betsy St Amant

eBook - 2020

The only thing Bri Duval loves more than baking petit fours is romance. So much so, she's created her own version of the famous Parisian lovelock wall at her bakery in Story, Kansas. She never expects it to go viral-or for Trek Magazine to send travel writer Gerard Fortier to feature the bakery. He's definitely handsome, but Bri has been holding out for a love story like the one her parents had, and that certainly will not include the love-scorned-and-therefore-love-scorning Gerard. Just when it seems Bri's bakery is poised for unprecedented success, a series of events threaten not just her business but the pedestal she's kept her parents on all these years. Maybe Gerard is right about romance. Or maybe Bri's recipe... just needs to be tweaked. Novelist Betsy St. Amant invites you to experience this sweet story of how love doesn't always look the way we expect-and maybe that's a good thing.

Review by Booklist Review

When her French bakery in Story, Kansas, is going to be featured in a popular magazine, romantic-at-heart pastry chef Bri Duval cannot wait for the bakery's love lock fence, a small-town variation on Paris' famous Ponts des Arts, to shine. But her plans evaporate with the arrival of Gerard Fortier, a hardened but undeniably handsome writer who is secretly using Bri's feud with a potential buyer to generate traction for his story. As his deadline draws nearer, Gerard cannot ignore Bri's kindheartedness and her faith in forever. But it will take more than a plate of cream puffs to wake them both up to the real cost of real love. Readers will savor the flirty banter, delightful characters, and nods to French culture amidst a Midwest community buzzing with charm. Conventional romance drama is balanced with emotional depth, and St. Amant's deliciously sweet tale bears a fresh message of dispelling the illusion of perfection in relationships in favor of embracing the real.
