Publisher's Summary

Larkin Mancinkus prides herself on making the town of Whynot, North Carolina just a little sweeter. As owner of Sweet Cakes Bakery, Larkin gets all the town gossip - the sugar, the spice, and the everything not so nice. So when she finds herself on the tip of everyone’s tongue thanks to an encounter with a mysterious and handsome stranger, she learns the true meaning of "if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen."

Deacon Locke has spent his life traveling the world with no particular destination in mind. But when he rolls into Whynot on his Harley, he just knows there is something different about this town. What he doesn’t know is that out of all the places he’s traveled and all the people he’s met, the gorgeous bakery owner might just entice him to put down some solid roots.

Come on down to see what’s cookin’ between Larkin and Deacon!

Gimme Some Sugar was more of a 3 1/2 star read for me, but I've rounded the rating up to 4 stars because I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this series about the Mancinkus siblings all finding their HEA's.

It is finally Larkin's turn to find love. I did enjoy the relationship that developed between Larkin and Deakin, but I did get a bit tired of her constant second guessing herself with regards to Deacon and how difficult she found it to believe someone like him could be interested in someone like her. She is very self conscious at times, and often appears nervous with the hair pulling gesture. It was sweet how Deacon picks up on these gestures and does his best to make her more comfortable in the moment. He does make it very clear that he finds her extremely attractive just the way she is.

The audios of this entire series have all been very enjoyable to listen to. Great narrators, with some of the audios having multi POV's. Stephen Dexter performing Herman in Barking Up the Wrong Tree (book 3) is still my favourite performance of the series.

A lovely epilogue to wrap up the series and the Mancinkus siblings. It was just super sweet!
