Our heroine is a trained pastry chef looking for a job, our hero an owner of a bakery. It looks like all the right ingredients are here.
This is book five in the series, but it is written as a standalone. No prior reading is required to enjoy this book.
The story is well written and easy to read, with a staightforward plot and plenty of heat in the kitchen. I thought the characters to be well developed, but perhaps a bit too cookie cutter for my tastes. Nevertheless, I did find the story light and enjoyable and expect I will explore some of the author’s other stories in the future.

A Sweet Valentine’s Day surprise with no calories
Sugar & Spice is the fifth book in the Holiday Valley series by Kaylin Evans. This time it is about Bree and Emmett and Valentines Day. Bree is a classically trained chef who also was trained in French Pastry. When her chef boyfriend breaks up with her and heads to NYC without her she ends up back home in Holiday Valley. She is not sure what to do but decides to apply for a job at Emmett’s Bakery in town. The bakery is owned and run by Emmett. He is a widower with two very lovely and romantic daughters, Chelsea and Caitlin. Of course he hires Bree and they have a good working relationship in the bakery where they grow closer. It seems the ovens are not the only thing that heats up in the bakery as they have a kiss which leads to a whole lot more. But when Bree’s ex shows up again not only wanting her back but to also take her to NYC to work with him she is going to have to make a very big decision. But Emmett is not going to let Bree go without a fight and he is a man where her ex is but a boy in comparison. Let’s just say that Valentine’s Day ends with more than just a few kisses.
This is an enjoyable book with a fun story-line and nice characters. There is a nice bit of spicy heat that is included between the Bree and Emmett along with a bit of drama and many emotions. Of course there is a HEA and a very lovely epilogue.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
A little sugar a little spice and everything will be nice. This is a fantastic romantic read that will make you blush and feel and the feels in a lovely and exciting journey to a HEA. You will love everything there is about this book and what it has to offer.

Bree’s relationship goes south. Her fiance goes to New York without her to become a hoity-toity chef at a Michelin star restaurant, so she heads home to Holiday Valley. With nothing to do, she applies for a job and is hired at Emmett’s Bakery. The bakery has been is Emmett’s family for several generations. His two teenage daughters help out after school and on holidays. But business is picking up, so he hires Bree. His wife died 10 years ago, leaving him with absolutely no interest in dating. Until Bree. This is a perfect title for this book – it is equally balanced between the sweet and the steamy. Despite their age difference, Bree and Emmett are just too cute and perfect together. I love his daughters for giving him a little nudge when he needs it most. This is a terrific addition to this series!

Holiday Valley has been a wonderful, easy to read, and seriously sugar sweet romantic series from the very first story, and I for one have been addicted to each and every heartfelt tale. Like all that have come before it, Sugar & Spice is a quick read that’s easily gobbled up in one sitting with a nice cuppa.
Bree and Emmett have both suffered in love; Bree through disappointment, and Emmett lost the love of his life a decade before. Together this charming couple will try to avoid the complications of a personal relationship, while working in close quarters. But the heart wants, what the heart wants, and explosive chemistry and two romantic teenagers will help them realise life’s too short for regrets.
I hope there’s still more to come from Holiday Valley, but if not, the journey has been enchanting.
Bree is a baker and once engaged. Her fiance did the dirty on her and now she has fled to her hometown. Emmett is also a baker and owns his own bakery. Bree applies for a job at Emmett’s bakery to get back on her feet while she rethinks her life. Sparks eventually fly between these two and things heat up. Loved this story.
Sweet romance with widower Emmett who owns a bakery and hires the much younger Bree who just had her fiancée run out on her. When Valentines Day approaches the attraction between them heats up and before they know happens they are lip locked. Wonderful story with two heartbroken people who meet at the perfect time and are made for each other.

Emmett hiring Bree gave her a place to heal and move on after what her ex-fiance did to her. Along the way Emmett gave Bree hope for more and he starts to soften his gruff exterior.
Moving on from tragedy can be hard but they learn together they can get through anything.

Very quick read and HEA.
Emmett owns a bakery and is a widow with two teenage daughters. His daughters think it’s time for a change. Maybe Bree is the answer to the change of heart and to be loved and give love.. will he open his heart or let the best thing in years go?

This is a sweet 2nd chance romance. Both characters are going through heartbreak for different reasons. Will they be able to move on to have a HEA?

Loved going back to Holiday Valley. Another quick read in this series and it was so good. Bree and Emmett both had issues with love and they were able to find it again in each other. Great chemistry between them and loved his daughters.
