About this listen

A clumsy baker. A hunky tourist. A recipe for disaster...or love?

Nothing interesting ever happens in Cloverdale Falls, which suits Maisie Carpenter just fine. Small-town drama keeps her entertained until that small-town drama brings news Maisie never imagined. Main Street has sold, and with it, the building housing her bakery. Ask any resident, and they’ll readily provide a dismal answer as to what will become of the friendly town founded by chicken farmers in the 1800s. What happens when she discovers the man connected with purchasing the businesses is the very same man she’s recently fallen in love with?

Hudson Tressler is content working for his uncle's company, helping to revitalize struggling towns. Cloverdale Falls is his next mission, and he quickly discovers the residents are as quirky as the town itself, with its famous Henrietta the chicken mascot. Hudson finds himself drawn to one such resident—the clumsy, but cute baker who makes the best chocolate cookies he's ever tasted. With the residents fearing for Cloverdale Falls's future, Hudson finds himself navigating chickens, self-appointed geriatric investigators, and falling head over heels for Maisie.

Can chocolate cookies, small town shenanigans, and a concealed identity become a recipe for love?

Take a trip to Cloverdale Falls, a town you'll want to become a resident of in this hilarious first book with the following tropes:

Concealed identity
Small town
Humor
Secondary characters in every generation
Fun rom-com (think Great American Family/Pureflix or Hallmark with faith)

**Please note that Recipe for Love is a faith-filled Christian contemporary romance.**

A lovely Rom Com. The narrator brings the various characters to life making me want to meet them in person, and move into their town. I loved Beulah and Maeve -what eccentric characters who have a deep love of their community, we all need older people in our lives who are Christ filled and have a deep concern for others.
Through Maisie’s story we are challenged as to how strong our faith is and how obvious to others is our walk with our Saviour. She lived out her faith and was not afraid to bring Him into every day conversations.
Although a romance it doesn’t dominate the story,

I was given a complimentary audio copy of this book, these observations are all my own.

Fun loving small town, where Christ is exalted
