false <![CDATA[Sweet Love]]> 2181981 2 From a rising star in women's fiction, Sweet Love is an irresistibly delicious novel about the power of love, dessert, and the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters. Julie Mueller, once a brilliant local television reporter, has been fired for the sin of being forty. Broke, divorced, unemployed, and struggling to raise a teenage daughter alone, she had given up on happiness until she receives for Mother's Day four dessert classes that spark not only a new burst of culinary creativity but a burning passion for one of her fellow students, Michael Slayton, a true love she let slip away. Before Julie can win back her soul mate, however, she must make amends to those she's unwittingly hurt in her past and stare down a crisis every woman must face. Armed with the love of her mother, her daughter, her own determination, and lots and lots of chocolate, Julie takes to heart Shakespeare's plea: "Sweet love, renew thy force; be it not said thy edge should blunter be than appetite." Bestselling author Meg Cabot has said that "opening a book by Sarah Strohmeyer is like opening a box of chocolates - sweet, a little nutty, and absolutely irresistible." With this new novel, Sarah Strohmeyer - author of The Cinderella Pact and The Sleeping Beauty Proposal - proves those words especially apt and delivers a story as rich and satisfying as a chocolate layer cake. 2187669 19 6 2008 Sweet Love total:395|5:35|4:133|3:159|2:60|1:8| 395 1312 659 109 3 2 false false Sun Jul 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 20 17:51:35 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 20 17:53:13 -0700 2008 3 1 false true Thu Sep 04 06:12:13 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 09 05:32:10 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 06:12:13 -0700 2008
"Sweet Love" is nothing like "The Cinderella Pact".
