Everyone in Middleburg, Kentucky, lines up for baker Dinah Hopkins's cinnamon rolls. Everyone except her handsome new landlord, Cameron Rollings. The jaded city man doesn't like anything about small-town life—from the fresh air to her fresh-baked snickerdoodles. And he clearly considers Dinah as quirky as her eccentric oven. The way to Cameron's heart is not through his toned stomach. But the Lord led him to Kentucky Corners for a reason. And Dinah plans to help him count his bluegrass blessings.

This was an easy read and was very believable. The characters were well rounded, and even though she left you wanting another book about the main characters and the community, you weren't left hanging. I also liked the way the characters shared their faith in God and His guidance in their lives. This was my first Allie Pleiter novel, but it won't be my last!
As much as I wanted to like this book b/c its about my home state and an inspirational book...I...just...counldn't...get...through...it. Get my point? According to my Kindle,I made it through 35% before I just gave up and returned it to the library, knowing I would not finish it. Blah. Bad writing, in my opinion. It just wasn't written in a way that made me WANT to turn the page. I wasn't interested in the storyline or the characters. I tried.
This was my favourite book of the series. I like how it showed Dinah and Cameron 'meeting cute', but then not even realising they were even attracted to each other until later on . . . after friendship had a chance to grow between them. I also liked how the character of Mayor Howard Epson (a figure who'd been lovingly mocked in previous books of the series) was portrayed. I actually came to like him as I understood his motives better!
