One foodie romance that I fell in love with this summer is Robyn Neeley's BATTER UP  This fun and magical romance is just a delightful read and I highly recommend it to all of you.

What are some of the special ingredients in BATTER UP?

• A small, lakeside town in Upstate New York filled with fun and fabulous characters
• A bakery that dishes up a little extra to the bachelors of Buttermilk Falls every Monday night
• A third-generation baker witch who creates a magical batter for those bachelors with every stir
• A third-generation baker who can match everyone else up successfully, but lacks a certain someone in her own live
• A cynical and disillusioned Florida journalist who's seeking to get the scoop on Buttermilk falls and reveal the fraudulent actions of that magical baker
• A few BFFs to add a bit of spice along with a not-so-nice Buttermilk female on the make

Robyn Neeley stirs all of these ingredients together and comes up with a magical book that I could not put down. A story that easily switches from laugh-out-loud hilarity to moving with some Kleenex-ready moments. Spend a bit of your summer in Buttermilk Falls with Batter Up and you'll want to return again - real soon! Read my review

I've gone visiting -- and been painfully honest. Being an author is not for wimps. I'm blaming J'aimee for asking such thoughtful questions.
