I didn’t like the fact that it was considered 6 books……more like 6 chapters

Over all, I enjoyed the story... it did not need to be written in 6 short books! 1 book would have been fine ! 6 was a bit annoying to be honest. I am glad both ladies found true happiness in the end!

I found myself curious about how the author would bring all the elements of the story together. When I began reading her first novel, "Bakery on Main Street," earlier that day, I had no idea I would be delving into adult chapter books. It did take me a little time to adjust to the shorter format and the series of interconnected stories.
While I found the storyline somewhat predictable, making it an easier read, I did often feel frustration with Julia's decisions throughout the series.
As for the sixth book, I felt that the conclusion was a bit anticlimactic, leaving some questions unanswered and the drama feeling abruptly resolved. The epilogue particularly surprised me, as it skipped forward a year without addressing the events at the end of the book, which felt a bit rushed.
Overall, while this series may not align with my personal preferences, I can appreciate how it might resonate with other readers.

Woman's husband leaves her for her sister, but not to worry, because she does go to the wedding - there's cake. She travels to a childhood island spot with a widowed friend and they open a bakery. She meets an old boyfriend, and the two pick up right where they left off.
There's so much more, and this novella, would have been good, except, it really isn't a novella, it's really Act 1. So, then you have to get Act 2 to read what happens next, and so on, and so on until the end. Frankly by the time I got to Book 6, I didn't really care about all the mystery and drama and well, I shouldn't go there, because that would be under SPOILER ALERT. I got through it. I wasn't amused, and now I will always question whether a series of books is a series of books, or cliff hangers requiring the necessity of reading the next one...

Overall, I truly enjoyed this story. The characters were three dimension and the ending was a surprise. The only negative thing I have to say is that I would have rather have read the complete book and not have to buy six different books. Going forward, I will stay away from the books where you have no choice but purchase attentional books to read the full story.

Good series
This was a fun, short series of books! Chloe and Julia are finally doing their dream job, running a bakery together. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong with their move to Rosemary's beach. An old flame of Julia's comes to the rescue at each setback. Is he a knight in shining armor or is something more sinister happening at Rosemary Beach's new bakery?

Another series of short stories! The author started with an interesting idea; however, with each "story" (next book), the characters and their activities became more ridiculous. I regret wasting my time.

This series should have been one book only
I would have loved it if it were just all one book. I liked the setting and the characters. Hated that I had to keep getting another book for what should have been just sections of one book

I absolutely love this series. I liked the fact that the books were short 84 page reads and held my interest. Welcoming change from the large 300 to 600 page books I usually read.

A Good Read
I enjoyed this wraps up installment but found the story a bit out there, but still interesting and exciting. A good clean romance story.

light, romantic and engaging
I loved the development of these friendships, the slight mystery of the villain, and the sweet way everyone gets what they need in the end.

One year Anniversary
I never saw the crazy coming. So happy the ladies got some love in their lives to finish the series. This was definitely a crazy one and a page turner.

Not your mama's romance novel
Strange coincidences morph to mystery to suspense with romantic undertones. Well done. Enjoyed the ride. June Woods really outdid herself
