This is the first in a series of what I like to call “Always the (fill in the blank here),
Never the Bride” by Sandra D. Bricker. There is just something about
weddings that is sort of magical, isn’t there. Unfortunately my wedding
wasn’t all that magical, so I think that is why I enjoy reading stories
about them! I love living vicariously through my books!

At
first glance, you might think that this series is going to be similar
to that of Nora Robert’s Series, The Bride Quartet. For those of you
that read her series, you will see some similarities:
first glance, you might think that this series is going to be similar
to that of Nora Robert’s Series, The Bride Quartet. For those of you
that read her series, you will see some similarities:
1. Each series is about weddings;
2. Each is about a specific person that helps to plan weddings;
3. Each takes place in a venue that holds weddings.
But that is where the similarities end. Starting with “Always the Baker, Never the Bride”
we meet Emma Rae who has just won a very prestigious award that is
about to put her on the “Pastry Chef Map” as it were. What makes this so
remarkable is that she has rarely tasted any of her creations, if at
all, so she must rely on her trusty sidekick, Fiona, to taste everything
for her. Currently working at a popular bakery, she meets Jackson
Drake, who stops in for a coffee and some delicious treats that he takes
back to his business…a run down hotel that he is renovating to it’s
former glory.

Okay,
I guess we can see where this is going, at least I can. I’ve read
enough romance novels to know where each is going to end up. What is
wonderful about this series though is that it is Christian-based, so it is a sweet
romance that leaves the intimacies up to the imagination rather than put in print. I also really enjoyed the recipes Ms. Bricker shared at the
end of the various chapters. This was a nice added touch for a foodie
like myself! Rating:
