Cecelia Dowdy is an African American author who writes contemporary romance that always features sweets! The second Candy Beach Series book features Franklin Reese and Emily Cooper. Emily is trying to run the family dairy farm after her father passed away, and Franklin has come at the request of Emily's stepmother to audit the farm records. Emily is a strong, hardworking, Christian woman still recovering from her father's death, while Franklin is a CPA who has lost his wife so is drowning himself in alcohol every night and has no faith to lean upon.
Dowdy is known for her strong faith threads that wind through every single book she writes. I loved the MC in this book who both were trying to overcome problems. Her descriptions of Frank's problems with alcohol and the steps he took to try and end his addition were obviously well researched. I liked how Emily kept trying not to develop a relationship with Frank when she knew he was both addicted to alcohol and not a believer. She showed how hard it is to abstain from someone who is not a believer. I did miss the larger role that candy tends to play in Dowdy's books. There was only a mention or two of homemade candy.

I know your face
I too live in Maryland, wow I love African American writer's. Your books are places I know about, being home. You have great faith, WONDERFUL BOOKS I'm going to read The Candy Beach Series . I love Ocean City. I have a small question, why don't you have on your cover African American people? For great reading and you being a fantastic writer, why wouldn't you find a beautiful woman and man of Color. Just a question, I probably won't hear from you but just think about it, thank you be blessed😇

Love and Faith Conquers All
Beautifully written story of two strangers immediately having a connection regardless of their stations in life. Emily and Frank were total opposites from their levels of faith, backgrounds, personalities and family relationships.
Each of them will face hard truths about the struggles and family issues expertly crafted by the author. Love and Faith wins when this ends in an HEA.

Good story
Enjoyed the third book in the "Candy Beach series" . After reading the "Bakery Romance series", I knew the this series was in my future. Stories are a delight and always end with someone giving their life to Christ. The four stars would be five because f the many editing mistakes. Grammar was great but better editing is distracting to me.

Milk Chocolate Kisses
The road to love is often paved with dust. To find love for these two wasn't easy. Farm life has to be difficult, and yet she loves it. So many times, I thought she might throw in the towel and make candy instead, but Emily was all-in. While Frank's history hadn't been to Emily's liking, but she did ultimately follow her heart, albeit a stubborn heart.
