In
this special Christmas novella from Darlene Panzera, THE CUPCAKE
DIARIES: Spoonful of Christmas continues the adventures of three
cupcake-loving women who work to keep their dream cupcake shop open
while balancing love, family, and friendship.
When
businessman Preston Pennyworth offers to buy Creative Cupcakes for a
million dollars, the women are startled by his offer. Friends Andi,
Kim, and Rachel have put everything into the shop and don’t want to
give it up. Despite refusing the expensive offer, their worries are
starting to pile up—just in time for the Christmas season. Between
Andi’s concerns about a potential cross-country move, Rachel’s
wedding-day stress, and Kim’s love life woes, the spirit of the
season seems to be lacking! With the added stress of the holiday
season, the women can’t help but imaging the possibilities of the
offer.
Things
change when Andi decides to organize a Christmas party for the foster
kids in the area and the whole town gets involved. The women of
Creative Cupcakes are reminded of what truly matters, as they realize
the best things in life are close to home! But, when the shop is
vandalized, the foster kids’ gifts are stolen, and Rachel’s
wedding is sabotaged by a real life Grinch, the women can’t help
but feel hopeless on Christmas. Will their Christmases be saved?
In
this warm and heartfelt add-on to THE CUPCAKE DIARIES trilogy,
Darlene Panzera’s Christmas novella will captivate reader’s
hearts and capture the true meaning of Christmas.

Review
This story was like going home for a visit. You were able to catch up on everyone and see what they are doing, just like so many do during the holidays. Even though I really liked this story it did bug me that once again the story was about them selling. It just seems like in each book they talk about ending the business. But that's the only issue I had. I always say to read books in order, but I don't want you to not read this if you haven't yet read the first 3 books. You can enjoy this one without reading the others and I think it will give you a push to get the others. Or, of course, you might be lucky and win them. Happy reading!
Thank you for your review and for featuring my new release here today! I really appreciate your time and support! Merry Christmas!
