As a long time reader of the series, I enjoyed that this book continued a couple of ongoing storylines. I was satisfied with how things played out in them. As always, the characters are fantastic. I was smiling within pages of starting the book at getting to spend more time with these old friends. The plot spends a little time laying a foundation before it really takes off, but I was hooked the entire time and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough by the end. We get five recipes at the end as well. This is a favorite series of mine. If you enjoy it, you’ll be thrilled with the latest entry. If you aren’t yet a fan, pick up a book today, and you’ll get hooked.

The book starts off with a bang and never really lets up until we reach the end. When we do get answers, they just leave us with more questions. The characters are in top notch form, and I think we get to know Lee a bit better over the course of this book. This series is always light and fun, and this book is no exception.
NOTE: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Amos is the son of Sparky's, but won't inherit it as it will go to Sage, his older sibling. Mickey is the son of Red's and IS due to inherit, even though he doesn't want it. These two have been brought up to dislike each other, but when they meet in fancy dress for a Halloween party, they find out they have more in common than they thought they would.
This is the book that I both wanted to read and yet was dubious about. And, to be honest, I still feel the same way after I've read it. The relationship between Amos and Mickey was a delight to read, and I loved the time that was spent with them, but the whole rivalry thing? Man, that dragged! Mickey says at one point that he is tired of it all, and that's exactly how I felt. I've no idea how much longer this book is compared to others in the series, but it felt like it was a lot longer. The epilogue was cute though, I enjoyed that. I'm sure I will be in the minority regarding this, but that's how I feel.
A slow-paced story with both cuteness and spice.
