Buttercream and Second Beginnings: A Short Romance by C.K. Darling

lighthearted medium-paced

3.5

Don’t judge a book by its cover. I really don’t like the cover of this book. It reminds me of books I read when I was a teenager. So I liked the blurb of the book so I decided to read it despite the cover. This novella is a sweet small town romance between the football star and a nice girl who loved to bake. The football goes off to college and the two don’t keep in contact anymore. The football star has a child and fades from existence and the baker has to learn to move on. Macon and Callie had a great thing years ago, can they reunite and get past all the hurt from years ago. Can Callie accept his child and be a great mother to her? This is the first of probably several stories about a group of friends all looking for love.
