Deep Fried Devotion: Festival of Hearts

Rate this book
When life gives you lemons, deep-fry it and serve with a smile.

Birdie Summers lives by that motto. With her whimsical food truck, Impossible Treats, she's ready to make her big debut at the Guilford Fair—three days of fried bubble gum, cola balls, and sugary chaos designed to honor her grandmother’s dream.

But things get messy when her prime fairground spot is double-booked… with a man who thinks fried food should come with a lab coat.

Soren Walsh is a grumpy culinary scientist and the brains behind Fry or Die, a precision-based food lab on wheels. His molecular gastronomy experiments are the antithesis of Birdie’s glitter-and-sprinkles charm—and he has zero interest in sharing space with a rainbow truck that blasts pop music.

The fair only has room for one novelty deep-fry vendor, and sparks fly—both in the kitchen and out—when Birdie and Soren are forced to team up. As their edible inventions go viral and the lines stretch around the block, their rivalry turns into an unlikely friendship… and something more.

Between the racing pigs and the agricultural contests, something impossible is cooking. Sometimes the sweetest recipe starts with a dash of chaos, a pinch of pride, and one unexpectedly perfect partner.

A deliciously sweet contemporary romance perfect for fans of Hallmark movies and small-town charm. No cliffhangers, no cheating, and guaranteed to leave you craving both funnel cake and true love.

This lunch break, novella-length read is set in the small town of Guilford, Connecticut.

From sun-drenched festivals to starlit fairs, summer is the season for sweet surprises and swoony first kisses. Join the Sweet Kisses Club for heartwarming love stories that celebrate small-town charm and summertime magic.
