About this audiobook
Take a trip to the best little bakery in Brooklyn, where there’s more than a sprinkle of romance and a slice of pie makes it feel like home!
When Sophie Bennings arrives in New York, love is the last thing on her mind. Still reeling from a painful break up, she throws herself into her work as a food editor on a top-notch magazine.
Columnist Todd McLennan is everything that Sophie wishes she didn’t want. Like the gorgeous bakery below her Brooklyn apartment, he’s as tempting as the delicious cupcakes on display. Surely a little of what you fancy can do you good?
As Sophie and Todd get to know one another, a love of food isn’t the only passion they share. In the city that never sleeps, has Sophie finally met the man of her dreams…?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5{Second of 7 er ... 8 Romantic Escapes series; romance, travel, New York, Brooklyn, steam, audiobook}(2018)Read by Olivia Mace who does a good job (to my undiscerning ear) with New York/ American accents. Sophie, a character from The Little Café in Copenhagen, has just broken up with her boyfriend and accepts a job swap for six months with another food writer from New York. When she arrives, she discovers that she has been put up in an apartment above a bakery in Brooklyn owned and run by her landlady, Bella via Bella's cousin Todd, who is to be her colleague on the magazine. But Todd has an easy charm (and great looks) that all women fall for and Bella warns Sophie not to fall for him, nice as he is. Of course, we know what happens. As with the previous book, a friend of Sophie's also has a relationship percolating in the background; in this case, Bella's thwarted romance.This was light and fun and there is some steam. I liked the way that the protagonists became friends first and the romance is believable because they are both nice, kind people (in spite of Todd's pains to appear otherwise). Kate, the protagonist from Little Cafe ... has a cameo role via phone calls from London, with mentions of a couple of the other characters from the first book too. There's a lot of detail about yummy food - so do not read this when you're hungry. I found, with this and the previous book, that there are sudden breaks in the flow of time which might be more obvious if I had been reading rather than listening, but I found them slightly disorientating. I thought there were more details about Copenhagen in the previous book than there were about New York (both of which I've been to) in this book so it didn't give me the same sense of place - although most of the story takes place in Bella's bakery or the magazine's offices or (presumably fictitious) restaurants.Fun fluff, good for passing the time.(October 2021)3 stars
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When Sophie's long-term boyfriend turns out to have been keeping secrets from her for their entire relationship, she jumps at the chance for a job exchange at the American branch of the magazine she works for as a food writer. Suddenly living in Brooklyn and working in Manhattan, Sophie meets a wonderful circle of friends in the bakery she lives above and finds the opportunity for romance.A cute British romance that I quite enjoyed although there were constant irritations. The first chapter was very choppy and could have been eliminated without any detriment to the novel. I also couldn't forgive the writer for the many British-isms that came out of American characters mouths (for example, car park, "nip over," and many, many more). I'm not sure if it's a result of this book being published for a British market and the publisher not wanting to confuse their British readers or just lack of research on the author's part, but I found it pretty jarring. Those nitpicks aside, the novel is lovely, the romance is sweet, and the descriptions of various baked goods will have you heading to your nearest bakery. Enjoyable but not so charming that I'll be picking up other novels in the series. YMMV.
