Publisher's Book Description
"The only thing Bri Duval loves more than baking petit fours is romance. So much so, she's created her own version of the famous Parisian lovelock wall at her bakery in Story, Kansas. She never expects it to go viral--or for Trek Magazine to send travel writer Gerard Fortier to feature the bakery. He's definitely handsome, but Bri has been holding out for a love story like the one her parents had, and that certainly will not include the love-scorned-and-therefore-love-scorning Gerard.
Just when it seems Bri's bakery is poised for unprecedented success, a series of events threaten not just her business but the pedestal she's kept her parents on all these years. Maybe Gerard is right about romance. Or maybe Bri's recipe just needs to be tweaked.
My Review
Set in a small-town bakery brimming with the tantalizing aromas of freshly baked macarons and petits fours, The Key to Love, by Betsy St. Amant, is a deliciously engaging novel about misconceptions, expectations, truth, faith, and love. Opposites attract within the pages of this book as the main characters pursue their dreams, grapple with uncertainty, face their doubts, and help each other find the strength to embrace a future that is marked by authenticity, vulnerability, and hope.
The characters in this novel are truly interesting and memorable. Their choices and struggles are believable and resonate with honesty, veracity, and emotion. As they contemplate their choices and persevere through the consequences that follow, they develop greater insight and confidence. It is truly uplifting to read about characters who bravely pursue wholeness in the aftermath of grief and disappointment, giving space for their hardships to grow in them a generosity, a wisdom, and a faith that inspires others.
Satisfying and entertaining from the first page to the last, Ms. St. Amant has crafted a contemporary novel that is truly thoughtful, and endearing. The Key to Love is a special book that is exceptionally witty, romantic, and relevant. It is a genuine pleasure to recommend it.
