(More customer reviews)Phoebe Yates needed a break from her life as a celebrated pastry chef. When an online friend offered her a temp job at her café, Phoebe jumped at the chance to live and work in a small town. What she didn't know was that she would work along side, Chance Hawkins, and boarding in his home. Chance, a widower, was not interested in loving anyone else again but Phoebe was making him rethink that maybe he should give love and God another chance.
This is a sweet and straightforward story. There is no scheming or misunderstandings. All the characters of Serendipity were friendly and easy going folks. Phoebe was just plain nice. She was pretty up front with issues and didn't hem and haw when something was bothering her. I respected that she faced the problem head on. Chance was also an inspiring hero. Guilt-ridden, he believed he was at fault for his wife's death and no longer socialized and rode in cars. However, when his family needed him, he stepped up to the plate and confronted the fears that were holding him back. Even though I know it would ruin the flow of the story, I felt that he did overcome his fear a little bit too quickly. A little bit more resistance from Chance would make his fear more believable and maybe relate-able to some. And I like the how the author handled the issue with Chance's daughter. She was hostile against Phoebe at the beginning but with the right amount of time, warmed up to her without making a big deal out of it and overwhelming the plot with animosity. And the ending was short but pretty cute.
Overall, this was good, fast read. I recommend this to people who are looking for a straightforward, wholesome, clean romance. The plot and dialogue are strong enough to keep you turning the pages. If you are looking for a plot-driven and riveting story, this book is not for you. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 stars was because I would not read this again and personally, the story was a little low key for me.

The smell of cinnamon buns and apple pie remind widowed dad Chance Hawkins of the wife he lost five years ago. As does his sad-eyed little girl. So when his aunt hires a new pastry chef- whom she finds online-for their family-owned Texas café, the cowboy cook grumbles. What's more, fancy baker Phoebe Yates is boarding in their home. But soon enough, kind Phoebe is reminding Chance how nice it is to share a sweet roll with his daughter before school. And maybe opening his heart to becoming a groom again!--This text refers to an alternate Mass Market Paperback edition.
