\u00a0It&#8217;s the official start of the new Baldwin Village series (though there was a prequel Christmas novella). \u00a0Like the pies Sarah sells, this book is both sweet and savory, and oh so yummy. \u00a0One quick warning &#8211; this book will make you SO hungry!<\/p>\n<p>Josh, CEO of a tech company and one of Toronto&#8217;s hottest eligible bachelors, decides to throw a Pi Day party to entice his retired mathematician father to visit Toronto. \u00a0His father hasn&#8217;t talked to him since a teenage mishap and he&#8217;s hoping that going all out will start to rebuild their relationship. \u00a0So rather than just buying grocery store apple pies, Josh decides to order a veritable buffet of sweet and savory pies from a local business, and it certainly doesn&#8217;t hurt that the proprietor, Sarah, is a very attractive woman. \u00a0Through the course of planning the party, a romance ensures, naturally, and it all culminates in the big party. \u00a0Will Sarah&#8217;s catering be successful? Will the party impress Josh&#8217;s dad? Or will it lead to a very un-sweet end to their relationship?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf you have to bring a pie to Christmas dinner but don\u2019t bake. Or if you want to propose to your girlfriend using pumpkin pie or butter tarts.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cSeriously? Those both happened?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOn Valentine\u2019s Day. The butter tart guy wanted fifteen butter tarts, one letter on top of each tart to spell \u2018Will you marry me?\u2019 Then he contacted me the day of, wondering if he should have six more butter tarts to add \u2018please\u2019 to the question.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cSo polite and Canadian,\u201d Chloe says.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sarah was adorably awkward. \u00a0She\u00a0moved to Toronto from a small town for the opportunities, and now that she finally has her own pie shop, she&#8217;s determined to make a success. \u00a0She works long hours, and besides her employees, she doesn&#8217;t make the time to meet people or do much after work other than watch Netflix. \u00a0Watching her make friends with her new neighbors (of which one is the MC for the next book) was sweet, and I totally felt her anxiety about screwing up with them. \u00a0What was also cute was how awkward Josh got around her! \u00a0As mentioned, Josh has some serious dad issues. As a teen, Josh&#8217;s mom got sick, and he rebelled, and not just in the typical Asian &#8220;get B&#8217;s on the math test&#8221; way. \u00a0It caused a schism with his father, and while his mom got better and the rest of the family talks to him, no one seems willing to address the grudge his dad is still holding. \u00a0Even as a successful CEO, with a giant house in a swanky Toronto neighborhood, he still feels like he&#8217;s not enough. \u00a0He has this in common with Sarah, as well &#8211; her mom told her that her business was doomed to fail &#8211; so, instead, they prop each other up. \u00a0I liked how Josh loved Sarah&#8217;s passion for her business, and how confident he was that, despite never having done catering before, she&#8217;d be able to cater his party. \u00a0They had some pretty great chemistry together, and it was fun watching them figure out how a relationship works.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few things I&#8217;d consider hallmarks of Ms. Lau&#8217;s book &#8211; the comedic elements (Josh&#8217;s family members one-upping each other to pay at the dim sum restaurant had me howling), the food (YUM!), and the family warmth. \u00a0While that last part isn&#8217;t initially evident, Josh&#8217;s friends provide a good substitute, especially when they decide to regale Sarah with embarrassing stories about him. \u00a0As for the rest, I thought the conflict was believable, and I liked the way the resolution wrapped up all the threads nicely.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;m excited by the direction of this new series and impatiently awaiting the next one. \u00a0Plus, personally, I&#8217;m hoping for a novella with Amrita, one of Josh&#8217;s coworkers, and her fiance\u00e9 Holly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a pretty big fan of Jackie Lau&#8217;s contemporary rom-coms, so I jumped on this! \u00a0It&#8217;s the official start of the new Baldwin Village series (though there was a prequel Christmas novella). \u00a0Like the pies Sarah sells, this book is both sweet and savory, and oh so yummy. \u00a0One quick warning &#8211;
