What Are You Reading?

I haven't read her in awhile but really liked her earlier books.

I loved the first GL Robinson book I read, The Lord and the Red-Headed Hornet so I read another of her books, Rosemary or Too Clever to Love, and enjoyed this too.  The thing I liked best about this traditional Regency romance is the charming affection between the heroine, Rosemary, a governess/companion, and her 15-year-old charge, Marianne.  The romance between Rosemary and Marianne's Dear Uncle Giles, as she called him, could have used more development, IMO, but it was an entertaining story.  
I also finished the 6th Veronica Speedwell mystery, An Unexpected Peril which I liked and was happy to see more of the romance between Veronica and Stoker, although the mystery takes center stage in the plot.  It's a smart, interesting story, like the whole series.

I felt the same way about the side characters, I forgot the grandma's assistant's name but that man's story should be next! And the cousin's story, who is also a hockey player (which I want with the assistant, but not because the assistant deserves so much more than a jerk). 
And grandma was a nosy woman but not in an annoying way or exaggerated way, I loved when she was interacting with all her grandchildren and how she put them in place when they were all 'well we all know who your favorite grandchild is'.

So it was my best read of March, again mostly (99% because of the pastries) the leads were decent people and I liked the idea of how nice they were and how they could be relatable even though they lived these lives of the rich and famous. I also enjoyed the fact that she never gave him one of those ultimatums of it's me or (insert whatever else is an issue in their relationship).

Also the baking I wanted to do after reading this book ( I made a cake and fresh bread) was so pale in comparison to the  creations in the book.

I'm reading "Just Listen" by Sarah Dessen. An enjoyable read so far and I always enjoy reading a book that was published year i was born. (2006)

Sure wish we had one near here, but if one started they'd have to go some to beat my love of one that's in Columbus, OH. Le Chatelaine French Bakery & Bistro (3 branches now!) That time we were working on the statewide project, the building we were usually in was a few doors down from here. Heike (coworker, originally from Germany) and I would get started early enough that even driving from extreme SW Ohio, we had time to stop there as she loved their hard rolls (said it was like being back in Europe!) and I loved just about everything they offered. And often we'd stop on the way out that afternoon to get stuff to take home. Also, sometimes the group would head over there because their lunch food was also wonderful! Man, now I want to head for Columbus! (Except that they're already closed for the day...)

next up is Mariana Zapata All Rhodes Lead Here
