Catarina has chosen solitude over risking her heart again. She finds satisfaction in running the business her parents left to her when they retired to the old country. But Catarina's pride in her independence sometimes clashes with her complicated feelings about her Romany ancestry.
Remy finds his accounting job boring, so he's opening a gourmet ice cream parlor just down the street from Catarina's shop. He's immediately struck by her exotic beauty and she can't shake the feeling that they belong together, especially after she tells his fortune just for fun.
But when she believes Remy has hidden something important from her, she retreats to her old ways and rejects the magical way he made her feel. It will take more than a few tea leaves to convince her to risk her heart again.
Sophia is a small-town Midwestern girl to the core whose books build on each other like the written version of the world's longest romantic movie. She spends her free time performing unnecessarily complicated culinary feats in her kitchen and dreaming up home improvement projects for her husband to do in their fixer-upper Victorian. Her greatest accomplishment so far has been either raising two wonderful children who love to read or designing and digging a goldfish pond by herself. Probably the goldfish pond; it's really cool.
It was a good book despite things being a little to rushed at the end. Catarina was a woman who was content with life but not truly happy until Remy. She also took it a little to far when she didn't let him explain the married thing and gave it to much importance, more that it deserved. Remy was a stand up guy, a very good one
Liked the fact that heroine was comfortable in her skin Glad that she didn,t hesitate to become friendly with Remy Glad that Brian approved of Rhys Glad that Verda flew in Really thrilled about the double wedding the twins the tea leaves and the Famiy drama A great read
