Sugar Candy Cottage is home to mother, Coralie, daughter, Teresa and housekeeper, Lolly. It is a beautiful home, well kept and inviting but it holds some secrets that are best kept hidden. The charming Coralie is, in fact, a selfish woman who wants everything to be exactly as she chooses. When she doesn’t get her own way, she turns into a monster. Lolly has made it her life’s work to shield and protect Teresa but when Teresa decides to visit the uncle who has been estranged from her mother for over twenty years and then suddenly falls in love with a new man and breaks her engagement to the man her mother hand picked for her, Lolly knows that a storm is coming.
I really enjoyed this story, finding it light but slightly edgy. The character of Coralie, a rich, pampered woman who expects things to always go her way was by far the most interesting and she kept the book from becoming too frothy. I liked the hero but did think the heroine, Teresa was a little too soft and demure although she got stronger by the end of the book. I will certainly be reading more from this author in the future.… (mais)
