The Strawberry Patch Pancake House
The Strawberry Patch Pancake House by Laurie Gilmore is 99c and a Kindle Daily Deal! This released last month and is the fourth book the Dream Harbor small town romance series. We’ve featured at least one previous book in the series on sale before
As a renowned chef, single-dad Archer never planned on moving to a small town, let alone running a pancake restaurant. But Dream Harbor needs a new chef, and Archer needs a community to help raise his daughter, Olive.
Iris has never managed to hold down a job for more than a few months. So when Mayor Kelly suggests Archer is looking for a nanny, and Iris might be available, she shudders at the thought. But in need of money she reluctantly agrees.
As Archer and Iris get used to their new roles, is it possible that they might have more in common than they first thought, or is Olive just determined to play match-maker…

Mrs. Nash’s Ashes by Sarah Adler is $1.99 and another KDD! This was mentioned on a couple podcasts, including one with Mara Wilson! Did any of you read this one?
A starry-eyed romantic, a cynical writer, and (the ashes of) an elderly woman take the road trip of a lifetime that just might upend everything they believe about true love.
Millicent Watts-Cohen is on a mission. When she promised her elderly best friend that she’d reunite her with the woman she fell in love with nearly eighty years ago, she never imagined that would mean traveling from D.C. to Key West with three tablespoons of Mrs. Nash’s remains in her backpack. But Millie’s determined to give her friend a symbolic happily-ever-after, before it’s (really) too late—and hopefully reassure herself of love’s lasting power in the process.
She just didn’t expect to have a living travel companion.
After a computer glitch grounds flights, Millie is forced to catch a ride with Hollis Hollenbeck, an also-stranded acquaintance from her ex’s MFA program. Hollis certainly does not believe in happily-ever-afters—symbolic or otherwise—and makes it quite clear that he can’t fathom Millie’s plan ending well for anyone.
But as they contend with peculiar bed-and-breakfasts, unusual small-town festivals, and deer with a death wish, Millie begins to suspect that her reluctant travel partner might enjoy her company more than he lets on. Because for someone who supposedly doesn’t share her views on romance, Hollis sure is becoming invested in the success of their journey. And the closer they get to their destination, the more Millie has to admit that maybe this trip isn’t just about Mrs. Nash’s love story after all—maybe it’s also about her own.

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins is $1.99! Many reviews on Goodreads mention becoming a member of the Bad Decisions Book Club in order to finish it. However, some found the heroine a bit too cutesy for their tastes. I know Sarah loved this one.
Anna can’t wait for her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a good job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. So she’s not too thrilled when her father unexpectedly ships her off to boarding school in Paris – until she meets Etienne St. Clair, the perfect boy. The only problem? He’s taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her crush back home. Will a year of romantic near-misses end in the French kiss Anna awaits?

Sally’s Baking Addiction is one of my go-to baking sites (King Arthur being the other), and I’ve never had a problem with any of her recipes. On a related note, I just picked up Erin Jeanne McDowell’s Savory Baking for $2.99 at B&N https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/savory-baking-erin-jeanne-mcdowell/1140825699?ean=9780358729945. She’s one of my YouTube subscriptions — entertaining and reliable.
I loved Mrs. Nash’s Ashes. None of Adler’s books have hit for me like that one did. I found it so charming, funny, and very sweet while also having depth.
I second the recommendation for Sally’s Baking Addiction (& King Arthur) – really well thought out recipes that have never failed me.
Sally lives in the next county over from me.

“Futbolista” by Jonny Garza Villa is on sale for Kindle for $1.99. I’ve been meaning to read this one for a while now.
“A classmates-to-friends-to-lovers romance that’s equal parts raunchy, heartfelt, queer, and Mexican-American, perfect for fans of The Prospects and Red, White, and Royal Blue!
Gabriel Piña knows who he is: a college goalkeeper, a future Liga MX or MLS star, and definitely straight. He’s starting his freshman year with a lot of eyes on him and even more potential, but he’s got this. Nothing will have him straying off the path to greatness.
That is, until his philosophy classmate Vale volunteers to tutor him. Vale, the same guy who Gabi, in a moment of history repeating itself, might’ve kissed very briefly—and only once—just to help him out at a party. Vale, the smart, supportive, compassionate new friend with beautiful brown eyes and a smile that keeps Gabi, for completely inexplicable reasons, constantly in a daydream.
As a friendship blooms and the two spend more and more time together, Gabi finally begins to recognize something about himself: maybe he’s not as straight as he thought he was. But a larger and darker realization lingers. Someone like Gabi—a brown, Mexican futbolista with dreams of playing for El Tri—can’t also be bisexual. He’s seen the way his teammates and community react to queerness in their sport. It would be the exact type of straying off path that destroys his future.
Or, maybe Gabi could be brave enough to embrace all those parts of himself and forge his own path, one that includes a boyfriend and the beautiful game.”
Yes, sadly as @Lauren mentioned, Piper J Drake died recently. Her family posted a beautiful remembrance of her on her socials, and if anyone is interested, encouraged donations to these specific organizations in her memory:
