Now for my thoughts ………

THE TEA SHOP ON LAVENDER LANE by Sheila Roberts

Family pulls together in a time of crisis and can weather any type storm is the core theme of THE TEA SHOP ON LAVENDER LANE by Sheila Roberts.

A fake food poisoning sends Bailey Sterling’s L.A. catering service into a nose dive. As the cancellations come in, Bailey’s bank account isn’t the only thing being depleted – so is her self-confidence. When big sister Savannah insists she come home to Icicle Falls, Bailey agrees.

Staying with her other sister, Cecily, life is going well for all. However, when Bailey decides to open a tea shop things get strained when Cecily learns her sister is going into business with Todd Black, the man she’s seeing. Cecily is sure there’s more than tea business going on between her sister and Todd. Meanwhile, Luke Goodman is certain he’s the one for Cecily, but she just can’t seem to get past the ‘bad boy’ Todd.

As things escalate between the sisters, will they have to decide between the men they think they love and their bond as sisters?

The author has created a well-blended romance that includes humor and loyalty. She touches on self-confidence and how easily it can be shattered. The small town atmosphere enhances the story as it flows smoothly.

THE TEA SHOP ON LAVENDER LANE is the fifth installment in the Life in Icicle Falls series, but can be read on its own. This is a tantalizing tale of sisterly love, regaining confidence, and finding true love.
