Brandon’s dream is finally coming true. His days may be long and hard, but he refuses to complain. He starts every morning in his kitchen, baking his signature pastries. With the students pouring into the college town he calls home any day now, he knows he needs help around the shop. When Sarah, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty, walks into Little Bird asking for a job, he can’t refuse her. As her new boss, he tries to convince himself that he can look, but he can’t touch.
When he lets her loose in his kitchen, her broken heart is mended, his battered heart is stolen, and they can’t deny that they both want more. So much more.

I was given a copy of this book by the New Adult Book Club and this is my voluntarily, honest review of it.
This is the first book that I read from R.C. Martin and although this is the third book of the ‘Made for love’ series, it wasn’t a problem for reading this story.
‘So much more’ is the story about Brandon and Sarah.
Sarah had one dream and that was to become a teacher and for one year she was living her dream and then she lost it. Sarah never thought that would ever happen to her but then she never thought that she would fall in love with the wrong man. Now, she hasn’t only lost her dream job but she also got her heart broken in the process. Luckily, she has some good friends who help her out.
Brandon’s dream is finally coming true, after years of waiting and hard work, he has finally his own bakery/coffee shop ‘Little Bird Café’. He’s a happy man, or at least he would be if not for the fact that he’s really tired of the long hours he does at the bakery and the fact that he just finished his ‘relationship’ with the woman that he has loved for many, many years but who never loved him back. He decides to concentrate on his bakery/coffee shop and his love for baking pastries. But he needs help in his coffee shop, the summer is coming to an end and that means in this college town that the students are coming back and that it will get very busy. Luckily for him, Sarah has moved into town and she’s looking for a job and since she loves baking so much, she decides to go to Little Bird Café to look for a job. From the moment they meet, there’s something special between them but both have been burned by love so the last thing they want is a relationship.
Brandon tries to keep his distant but it’s very hard. Sarah is very sweet and when he discovers that she loves baking too, it’s very hard to keep their relationship boss and employee. The more time they spend together the closer they become and the more they realize that maybe they were meant to be together. And just when everything is going like they hope for, the past is knocking on their door and they will have to choose between the past and the present.
Before I started this book I read somewhere that the writer wrote about God/religion in her books. So I didn’t really know what to expect but I really love the way she wrote about it in this story. And what I didn’t expected but what this story had were some very hot love scenes and I loved that too.
From the beginning I adored Sarah and Brandon and I couldn’t wait for them to meet each other. They were really perfect for each other and they really deserved to find their one true love. After reading and enjoying this story so much I will definitely try the other books in this series too. (Because I’m very curious about the other couples their stories too.)
