Sparks fly and love potions brew when the owner of a failing Main Street bakery falls for the town’s newest residents: a widower dad and his twelve-year-old daughter
A lot of love. A little bit of luck. And just a pinch of magic.
The end of summer is approaching, but even at the height of Bar Harbor’s tourist season, Eve Silver is having a hard time keeping enough money in the bank to sustain the family business. Her only hope of paying past due bills is to win the catering bid for the town’s upcoming Harvest Happening Festival. Otherwise, it’ll be lights out for Mount Desserts & Tea by Christmas. Widower Jeff Parish is moving with his twelve-year-old daughter, Candy, from Manhattan to Maine with one goal: starting over. When sparks fly between Jeff and Eve as the town readies for the annual harvest festival, Candy wishes she had a love potion to help her dad fall in love again. Will Eve be able to save Mount Desserts & Tea—and open her heart to Jeff—by the most bewitching night of the year? It’ll take a lot of love, a little bit of luck … and just a pinch of magic. |
“Bubbling over with graceful romance, seasonal festivity and wholehearted family joy… Love truly takes the cake in The Magic Ingredient. The characters’ demonstrations of this highest virtue — towards each other and their community — prove more enchanting than any Halloween spell or culinary confection. The result is sweet indeed." ~Booktrib
“Lindy Miller crafts an excellent, clean romance which revolves around the atmosphere of Bar Harbor, Maine. She captures the sights, sounds, and smells of the region, along with its holiday celebration preparations, and thus injects the romance's evolution with a sense of community, personal atmosphere, and change. Her attention to exploring the lives and emotions of all involved, rather than just Eve or Jeff alone, gives a full-faceted feel to the story that keeps readers involved in the roots of all the choices and the origins of connections that turn into love. These thought-provoking, emotion-driven moments are another reason why this novel is so provocative, realistic, and compelling. The holiday overlay in The Magic Ingredient lends it a warm flavor that lingers in the mind and heart long after Eve and Jeff tackle their personal obstacles and the potential promise of love.” ~D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
