Bake Off by Beth Kendrick

****4 stars
I loved the Bake Off, which didn't surprise me as I haven't read a Beth Kendrick book I haven't loved. Beth Kendrick's books are always easy comforting reads that you find you get into and never realize how much time has passed when you look up to the clock. My daughter almost missed the bus this morning because I had my head in the kindle :) The Bake Off is about siblings and family. I'm always hunting for a book that has a romance of some sort in it, usually more forefront with friendship and family second, although Bake Off had a bit of romance it wasn't the main plot of the book, but I still found myself absorbed until it ended. My only complaint is I have to wait for her next book ;)

Book Jacket summary:
Suburban soccer mom Amy has always wanted to stand out from the crowd. Former child prodigy Linnie just wants to fit in. The two sisters have been estranged for years, but thanks to a series of personal crises and their wily grandmother, they've teamed up to enter a national bake-off in the hopes of winning some serious cash. Armed with the top-secret recipe for Grammy's apple pie, they should be unstoppable. Sure, neither one of them has ever baked anything more complicated than brownie mix, but it's just pie-how hard could it be?
