The
Cupcake Diaries Book One: SWEET ON YOU
(Avon
Impulse; on-sale May 7th, 2013; e-book ISBN: 9780062242662)
Fans of Debbie Macomber will love THE CUPCAKE DIARIES: Sweet
on You, the
first in the new and exciting three-book romantic comedy, by Darlene Panzera.
Set in the small seaport town of Astoria, Oregon, Sweet on You begins the
delicious and charming mini-series with Andi Burke’s adventure through love and
cupcakes.
Sisters
Andi and Kim, along with best friend Rachel, haven’t had the best luck in
recent months: unemployment, divorce, and heartbreak. After so many
disappointments, what can the trio do to change things around? Open up a much
needed gourmet cupcake shop of course!
Andi has
always had a dream—a kitchen big enough to bake and dance in, while still being
able to support her dear daughter Mia, and hopefully find true love (one day).
Could opening up a cupcake shop make it all a reality?
Together,
the best friends are determined to open up Creative Cupcakes. But, with no
business experience or money to finance the project it seems their dream won’t
come true. Until, Jake Hartman, the hunky Astoria Sun reporter, offers to
partner up with them.
Trying to
hold it together as a single mom hasn’t been easy, and the thought of dating
hasn’t crossed Andi’s mind since her divorce. But, the way Jake keeps looking
at her might change her mind. After all, what could go wrong?
Plenty!
There's a shady tattoo parlor behind their shop and a crowd of crazy Zumba
dancers out front—ready to ruin them. The trio is forced to think quick to
counter the attacks from Zumba fanatic Pat, while still finding a way to bring
in business. It seems the only thing that’s going right is Andi's blooming
romance with Jake. As if things weren’t hard enough, Jake’s media crew captures
a story that could shut them both down forever.

For fans of Debbie Macomber comes Recipe for Love, the second installment in the Cupcake Diaries series Relationships can be tricky, but will Mike the magician convince Rachel to break her two-date rule? Rachel Donovan believes first dates are fabulous, second dates are fun, but third dates? She never sees a guy three times in a row for fear he'll break her heart, but she's tempted to make an exception when her coworkers, Andi and Kim, hire Mike Palmer to drive their Cupcake Mobile. Mike meets Rachel when he's wearing his black-masked magician costume at a Creative Cupcakes birthday party and then tries to saw her in half. He draws closer while helping Rachel devise promotion plans to outsmart the arrogant new French pastry chef threatening to put the shop out of business. When a rat runs through the middle of her glitzy promo party and the video is uploaded to YouTube, Rachel fears she won't be able to save the shop, help her mother pay for her grandfather's medical treatment, or win back the heart of the one guy she's come to love . . . or will she?

Kimberly Burke has avoided all types of risk since her mother's deadly plane crash—including risky relationships. Seems like everyone is always leaving her behind: her ex-boyfriend, her mother, and now her sister Andi and best friend Rachel—who have each found the man of her dreams. Then she meets Nathaniel when she mistakes his backyard for the new community park. He loves her passion, and when he learns of her wistful desire to travel, he takes her up in a hot air balloon, hoping to overcome her fear of flying so that she can accompany him abroad. But before he leaves, they must catch the Cupcake Bandit and replace the money stolen from Creative Cupcakes before the shop is shut down. Will discovering the thief's identity persuade Kim to take a risk on love ... or will she stay behind and let Nathaniel fly off without her?
