Cupcake Club

review 1: This was a sweet little romance. Though it's about the "cupcake club", they aren't involved all that much. The story surrounds Honey and Dylan. Your typical brooding dark mystery man and a woman with a special ability. They struggle to pull each other out of their respective "caves". Having spent both their lives basically alone, to see these two characters grow through out the story is nice. But it's not fantastic. There are quite a few slow spots, or areas where it seems the author spends too much time setting up another "cupcake club" book. I would have enjoyed more detail of the main characters instead. Though, not to say the book was bad. It was quite enjoyable. If you want a sweet, plain romance, this does it.
review 2: There's definitely a pattern with a... morell the characters from the Cupcake Club series. The main characters usually have some past trauma that they have to get over. Also there's some kind of longing to belong. And then the main characters are thrown together by fate & somehow can't resist each other. Despit the obvious patterns, there's something genuine when Kauffman writes about Honey's longing to have a normal life. The scenes with Lani & the rest of the cupcake club are always fun & a riot. Everyone's being paired up so I wonder who will be next in the book? What would be nice, is to see something happen to the group like a natural disaster or something & see how they pull together in times of crisis. But I digress. Honey is a loner. So is Dylan. That's the only thing they have in common at first. But they soon realize that they instinctively understand each other. So despite Honey's skittishness & Dylan's inexperience with relationships they end up together. Life is funny like that. I liked that Kauffman was able to capture the randomness of life & how couples get together. I'm hoping though the next book is a little more unpredictable. The patterns are getting a little too obvious. less
