Bee Stings

Bee Stings #1

by RosaLinda Diaz

A neophyte in the kitchen and the bedroom Poppy samples both, while surrendering to Michael Borchard’s irresistible charm, when she joins his Baking class; there are a couple of hiccups––it’s a kids’ class, and he’s married. Poppy and Michael improvise a recipe for passion that hits all the right spots. Their honeyed entanglement becomes increasingly sticky as his wife and her past muddy their budding romance. Is love stronger than circumstances? Will Poppy succumb to the sweetest temptation?

I really enjoyed this - I found myself rooting for Poppy! This is a fun, engaging read.

[Judy Gittleson Hendrickson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Poppy is a fourth grade school teacher and Michael is teaching a baking class. He is also married with a young daughter. The characters are terrific, with intense feelings and great dialogue. The storyline had plenty of entertaining situations, secrets, surprises, steam, cute astronomy presentations and much more. Biggest question - should they or should they not. Loved the chemistry and how they are on edge at the end. Can not wait to read the next book in the series.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I'm definitely on Team Poppy.

I was a little reluctant to start reading this as I just went through a really tough breakup and I wasn't sure I was ready to balm it with light romance, but this is not what this is. Poppy is a perfectly relatable character in her imperfection- her thinking is sometimes myopic, she makes mistakes, her head and her heart fight for supremacy, and through all that she struggles to do right by herself and the people she cares about.

I can't wait to dive in to Bee Keeping.

A lightweight fun read. Plenary of laugh out loud moments that flows along nicely. Strong characters with determination whoa aren’t perfect.
