A Pinch of Ooh La La

To get to happily ever after sometimes you need to start from scratch.... Abbey Ross who runs her own bakery in Oakland California is known for her visually stunning wedding cakes. But lately Abbey’s own love life has become stale. According to her best friend Bendrix Abbey’s not the spontaneous young woman she was when they were teenagers listening to the Cure and creating attention-grabbing graffiti. Of course her failed relationship with a womanizing art forger might have something to do with that. Nevertheless it’s time for Abbey to step out of the kitchen—and her comfort zone—and Bendrix has even handpicked a man for her to date. Samuel Howard is everything Abbey’s dreamed of: handsome successful and looking to raise a family. But a creamy icing might be needed to hide a problem or two. When Samuel complains about disrespect for the institution of marriage Abbey’s reminded of her nontraditional family with thirteen children from various mothers. And when Samuel rails about kids having kids Abbey thinks of her twenty-year-old sister who’s recently revealed her pregnancy. Soon Abbey is facing one disaster after another and struggling to make sense of it all. Her search for love has led her down a bitter path but with the help of her unique family and unwavering friends she just might find the ooh la la that makes life sweet.. READERS GUIDE INCLUDED
