Meet Me at the Fudge Shop by Lindsay HarrelMy rating: 💛💛💛
With a Romeo and Juliet family rivalry, but this time involving a fudge shop, there was a lot of tension and chemistry between the main characters.
I enjoyed Lily’s creativity which sometimes led her into difficult situations. I have a family member like that, and though sometimes it can be frustrating, the ability to focus on being creative versus keeping up with time and commitments, makes your life colourful.
The story was a bit predictable with things that were going wrong and how it all ended, but I still enjoyed the journey and the conclusion.

About the book:
"Loved this sweet story. Meet Me at the Fudge Shop has it all—bitter family feud, former high school sweethearts now rivals, close proximity, and a competition over a fudge shop." Reviewer—Goodreads
Their families are enemies, and he broke her heart, so of course she’ll have to work with him if she wants to save her fudge shop. Except, he wants the shop too…
Oh no. Someone is going to get hurt.
****
There’s no way her rival—and that man who broke her heart—is going to steal her future. Not again.
Fudge maker Lily Hart is back on Jonathon Island, and this time, she’s not going to fail. She’s learned her lesson after failing out of business school, and losing her dream apprenticeship. But her family’s 74-year-old Fudge Shop belongs to her and she’s going to reopen it and join in the revival of Jonathon Island. Even if she has to wrest it out of the greedy hands of her ex-sweetheart, arrogant Declan Kelley.
The woman he can’t forget just might cost him everything…
Business executive Declan isn’t a fudge-maker, but apparently the only way to save his ancestral home is to return to Jonathon Island and reignite the Kelley fudge business. And the Fudge Wars between the Harts and the Kelleys, because feisty Lily Hart is back too. Oh no. Because he’s never forgotten his mistakes, or his regrets that drove him from the island.
But the space can belong to only one family—which means a contest. Whoever sells the most fudge in one month gets the shop. Forced to share the space, sparks—and old feelings—begin to fly. Lily’s creative flair and Declan’s business acumen might just be the perfect recipe for success…if they can stop fighting long enough to realize it.
On the other hand, they might just reignite the town feud…
Sweet, swoony, and full of heart, dive into this romance between reunited rivals who hope to discover that on Jonathon Island, love might be the sweetest thing of all.
If you like secret love, family rivalries, delicious banter, and second chances, you’ll love this Hatfields and McCoys, sweet and clean small town romance!

Award-winning author Rachel D. Russell writes contemporary inspirational romance focused on
forgiveness, redemption, and grace. She's a country girl living in the suburbs, whose resume includes presenting live-animal reptile programs, being a park ranger, a reserve police officer, and a stint in federal prison (where she worked, not lived).
She makes wild attempts to balance writing under publisher deadlines with her full-time career with the federal government. When Rachel’s not cantering her horse down the Oregon beaches, she’s probably interrogating her husband on his own military and law enforcement experience to craft believable heroes in uniform. The rest of her time is spent enjoying her active family, including two college-age sons and three keyboard-hogging cats.
