Piece de Resistance
by Sandra Byrd
The third in the French Twist series. I enjoyed the first one, Let Them Eat Cake, but found it very light. I haven't found a copy of the second one, Bon Appetit to read yet.
This one was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it much more than the first one. While I think that reading all of them in order is probably a good idea, my not reading the second one didn't detract too much from the story. Having the back history of Lexi's experience in Paris would have been helpful, but the story moved along well without it.
Lexi Stuart has returned from her apprenticeship in Paris and is managing Bijoux, a high-end catering bakery in Seattle owned by the Delacroix family. Lexi is given a few short months to make the bakery a successful business. As she learns the ins and outs of managing a bakery, Lexi also learns the ins and outs of personal romance. Her interest in Philippe hasn't waned and he has come to America with his daughter, but when she starts seeing Dan again, she must soon make a choice.
Lexi has grown up since the first novel. I enjoyed seeing more depth to her as she makes decisions and has experiences that change her. Her faith in God is stronger and more a definite part of her life, not just something casual.
I loved the inclusion of some of Lexi's recipes. An enjoyable, Christian read. Light but not fluffy. Easily recommended.
