But when she encounters a dying woman in one such house and a backyard grave at another, handsome deputy Beau Cardwell shows up and—well, things get complicated.A small mural painted inside a … small mural painted inside a closet in the abandoned house provides clues and Sam is caught up in Beau’s investigation. A fortune in artwork, a bogus will, and a wooden box that seems to give Sam powers she never dreamed she possessed— it all adds up to a dynamic paranormal romantic mystery.
Then, there is all that chocolate! Sam’s real goal in life is to use her elegant baking skills to open her own pastry shop, Sweet’s Sweets. She’s gaining quite the reputation as a baker with a magical touch, but a few obstacles stand in her way.

I am on book #6 of Sweets Sweets by Connie Shelton, loving the series.
Interesting premise. Relaxing book to read when it’s time to snuggle in with a relatively easy to read book.
Great book, combines a little magic with a little romance and a mother and daughter getting aquainted again.
It was an enjoyable read!
I would gladly read other books by this author
A wonderful read–all would enjoy it!!
I liked this book and will read more in the series. The author does a great job introducing the main characters. The characters are likable and I look forward to reading more in the series to follow the them. The ending did come to an abrupt halt that I was not expecting.
Couldn’t stop reading it
Good read for me did not need all cooking advice.
Look forward to the next installment for these characters.
Easy to read kept me interested, sometimes it’s good to read something light and fun!
I really enjoyed these characters and will read more in this series.
The story line was different than the norm, but the characters were believable and the main characters were likeable.
Great story. Well written.
Great “escape” read!
Really kept you reading
This was a great read. I wish I had the energy to do everything this lady gets done everyday. I really liked the characters and her resolve on doing what she puts her mind to. I’d like to have a box like she was gifted.
The combination of a baker and adventurous detective is quite funny.
Liked the description of cakes and the decorating woven into a cozy mystery and a touch of magic.
I really like these style books. Can’t wait to read #2
