review 1: Another fabulous read! This seriesis so much fun!! I love all the different baking things going on...not just cupcakes, but all the other pastries and cakes and the descriptions...oh so lucious! It was wonderfully fun finding out about Cindy's powers and all the possibilities for her. I kind of knew what was happening with Tansy and i just LOVE how that all worked out! But its sad she is gone. I liked Sumac too...shame she couldnt have stayed somehow..she was fun. This is such a great series and I hope that Ms Reeves will do stories on all of Cindy's sisters too so we can know all about their lives and loves!
review 2: The title is something that makes the brain go, "Wait, What? Of course I want to kiss a prince!" Only once you get into the story, you totally
... moreunderstand! No, DON'T KISS HIM! I loved this book, much like I loved the first one. Elizabeth knows her characters inside and out, and seems to have a love for baking too- because if she doesn't, she SHOULD! When I read these stories, OMG I want a personal pastry chef on standby to make some of these delicious sounding treats! (In a perfect world, right?)Anyways, we're again thrown into the world of Cindy Eller (Ha, ha, did I mention that I LOVE the character names in these books, no? Well, I do!), and the wacky, amazing, cast of people that are in her life. I love that we see a little more of her family in this one. I want to know about each of them and their cruel names!One of the things that really struck me was how Timothy wasn't as in this one. I wanted to know what was going on with him? And that phone call from Spain, oh, hell, no. Cindy is SUPER forgiving! I understand the whole romance issue that was addressed in book one, but dude just keeps having issues with her and her way of life- kick his butt to the curb and see if another Mr. Right Now walks in. Yeah, they are a great couple, but being a good match can only last as long as both sides are willing to work on it- Timothy just freaks out. Maybe being a Toad did something to his brain! He was way more likeable as a toad, I think after reading this book.Once again Elizabeth develops a well crafted world, with amazing characters and details character arcs. I love to see each of them change and grown in a way that feels natural.These books make me want to open a bakery (a secret desire I've had for a long time) and live in a world of hard work and delicious results- too bad, I prefer my hard work to show through my own writing.I totally recommend this to those that liked the first one, like kooky witches, HP Mallory's books, and things like that. It's a great series! less
