The heroines from the first three books play at least a small role in Honey Pie, something that should please readers who’ve already enjoyed Sugar Rush, Sweet Stuff, and Babycakes. Honey Pie is the fourth book in the Cupcake Club series but it can easily be read as a standalone. As a couple, he and Honey are fantastic and their love story makes me smile just thinking about it.

And speaking of Dylan… Wow! He’s pretty much the perfect hero - generous, kind, and so sexy he’ll make you melt faster than chocolate on a hot summer’s day. Though Dylan helps her with this in part, it’s Honey’s determination to emerge from her shell that gets her what she wants. She desperately wants to make friends and be a part of Sugarberry’s community and I wanted that for her. She’s a lovely person with a lot to offer, but she has a psychic gift which makes it nearly impossible for her to get close to people. Donna Kauffman made me want to pick up and move to Sugarberry Island… But only if there’s a hero like Dylan waiting for me at the end of the journey ) Small town charm combined with endearing protagonists and a pitch-perfect romance makes Honey Pie an irresistible read. As Honey begins to venture out of her self-induced isolation she finds that maybe she can have it all a home, friends, a store, and even the love of one gorgeous, kindhearted mechanic.

Her luck begins to change when sexy mechanic Dylan Ross takes it upon himself to help her. Part of Honey wants to turn tail and run back to where she came from, but at the moment she’s trapped. Her car dies just as she gets onto the island and, what’s worse, she discovers that her aunt’s store has been leased to the owners of Babycakes and has been turned into a cupcake shop.

Unfortunately, Honey’s first day in Sugarberry is anything but sweet. When her aunt dies, leaving Honey her shop on Sugarberry Island, Honey picks up and moves across the country in the hopes of opening her own shop, becoming a part of the island’s community, and maybe, just maybe, finding the sense of belonging she’s always wanted. Honey D’Amourvell is looking for a fresh start.
