MY REVIEW: If you love small-town, second-chance contemporary romance, then you will greatly enjoy "A Slice of Summer", Book Two in author Melissa McClone' s "Silver Falls Series". The quaint little Washington state town of Silver Falls had always been home to Taryn Lawson. Working at her family's business, Lawson's Bakery, was what she knew and what she loved. Baking was her inherited skill and her life. Proving herself to her parents with an eye toward taking over the business when they retired was all she thought about--at least it was until she met Garrett Andrews. In town for the holidays to visit his sister Callie, a friend of Taryn's and owner of the local doggy daycare center, Garrett enjoyed meeting and spending time with the lovely baker. He had meant to keep in touch when he returned to his high-profile law partnership in Los Angeles, but unforeseen events had occurred which made it unsafe for him to contact her. His silence had been puzzling and hurtful to Taryn, and when Garrett returned six months later for Callie's wedding, Taryn was not happy to see him. Realizing how much he had hurt Taryn, and how much he really likes her, Garrett sets out to make amends. When the opportunity comes along to help Taryn when she needs it the most, Garrett jumps at the chance. Spending time together again soon brings ease back to their friendship, and an attraction grows between them. They are each career-driven, and his life is in LA, and hers is in Silver Falls. If love has its way, can they trust each another enough to learn to compromise for the sake of a happy future together? "A Slice of Summer" is a sweet treat for lovers of contemporary romance. Read the series books in order, "The Christmas Window" and then "A Slice of Summer" for a double-dip delight.
