Description
The only thing Bri Duval loves more than baking petit fours is romance. So much so, she's created her own version of the famous Parisian lovelock wall at her bakery in Story, Kansas. She never expects it to go viral-or for Trek Magazine to send travel writer Gerard Fortier to feature the bakery. He's definitely handsome, but Bri has been holding out for a love story like the one her parents had, and that certainly will not include the love-scorned-and-therefore-love-scorning Gerard. Just when it seems Bri's bakery is poised for unprecedented success, a series of events threaten not just her business but the pedestal she's kept her parents on all these years. Maybe Gerard is right about romance. Or maybe Bri's recipe just needs to be tweaked. Novelist Betsy St. Amant invites you to experience this sweet story of how love doesn't always look the way we expect-and maybe that's a good thing.… (more)

There were parts of this story I enjoyed and parts I didn't. It's really difficult for me to 'get into' a story when I don't connect or particularly like the key characters. That was the case here.

A contemporary romance - as most set in a small town & bakery - main character thinks love has to be "picture perfect" and is holding out for that type of love - a fun read but to me it was hard to connect with the characters.

Sometimes, the best relationships start out in the worst way--the characters don't meet "cute"--they meet "snarly". Such is the case with "The Key to Love", from author Betsy St. Amant. In the little town of Story, Kansas, there exists a charmingly quaint French-inspired pastry shop called "The

Pastry Puff". The shop is owned by Agnes and Mabel--two ladies of a certain age and attitude who are unrepentant matchmakers. Their baker--the creator of divine delicacies--is Abrielle "Bri" Duval. While Bri has recreated the famous Parisian "Love Lock Wall" (lovers declare their undying love by attaching a lock to the wall and throwing away the key) outside the sweet shop, she is decidedly somewhat sour on romance. Also disillusioned with lasting love is reporter Gerard Fortier, sent by his employer to do a story on the bake shop and the wall after they become a hit on social media. Bri and Gerald, each with their own personal issues, take an immediate dislike to each other, and their initial conversations consist of verbal sparring. However, they both have a lot at stake--Bri wants to eventually buy the bake shop, and Gerard wants to move ahead to more significant reporting assignments. They will have to work together, and learn to like each other, in order to reach both of their goals. Along the way, the sparks between them just might turn in a different direction--antagonism may turn to attraction. Are their differences too great and their life plans too different for love to have its way? Is there a chance for a sweet and happy future together? It will take a great leap of faith--and some heavenly guidance--but if Bri and Gerard put their hearts and heads together, they may just find "the key to love".Book Copy Gratis Revell Books via LibraryThing

This is a light romance with two not very likable main characters falling in love and living happily ever after.
Bri is a baker in Story, Kansas working at The Pastry Puff, a French themed bakery. It's owned by two older ladies who like to match make and have been successful. When Bri makes a video
What I liked -- The book cover is beautiful. I liked the two meddling old ladies at the bakery - they made me laugh out loud. I also liked the descriptions of all of the rich French deserts -- macaroons and petits fours, yummy!
What I didn't like -- Bri was too naive for her age in her beliefs about love. I wanted to shake her and tell her to open her eyes and see that a successful marriage isn't all hearts and flowers and that there was a lot of hard involved in a happy marriage. I didn't like Gerard at first - he was so cynical and unlikable that he was easy to dislike. However, they both changed as the story progresses and I always like stories that show growth in the characters.
Overall, this was a light fun romance with lots of French deserts to read about.

This is a light contemporary romance that is something of a mixed bag. The premise of the story is what drew me in: a love-obsessed baker who has a love lock wall behind her bakery, and the two elderly women who own the bakery, are inveterate matchmakers, and are known as the love angels. However,
The story drags at various points, and there are oddities that had me scrathing my head, and coincidences that just were just too outlandish. It may sound trivial, but there are other French pastries besides macarons and petit fours, no matter how delicious those two are. Yet, that seems to be all that Bri bakes. There are a couple of characters that I absolutely loathed, one of whom can almost be described as a villain, yet he gets essentially what he wants in the end. I was hoping that he'd get his comeuppance. On the other hand, the description of the quirky B&B and its eccentric innkeeper had me laughing hysterically, having stayed in places like that. Finally, this book is from a Christian publisher, and it gets a bit "preachy" at the end.
In sum, it was a nice diversion, but not a book that I'd go out of my way to read. Thank you to LibraryThing and Revell for the opportunity to read and review this book. 3 stars

Oh this book is so great! The perfect little romance story. A forewarning about reading this book... make sure you have some baked goods around because reading this will definitely have you craving macarons, petit-fours actually anything sweet!
The story is set in the cutest little fictional town in
Of course we meet Gerard who is a journalist from Chicago and is the complete opposite of Bri. He absolutely hates romance and all the aspects of it. He is sarcastic and oh so very dreamy!! Despite his sarcastic personality he definitely is swoon worthy! He comes to town on an assignment to write about the bakery. The banter between him and Bri is exceptional!! The love/hate relationship that they have is hilarious and I am all for it. Despite his outward, rough personality he wants to help Bri realize that there is more to just the little town and the bakery that her whole life has revolved in.
At times Bri grated on my nerves when it came to the bakery and the selling of it. I thought she was a bit selfish in regards to Agnes and Mabel and not seeing that they were older and needed to be done with the bakery so they could enjoy retirement. But I also recognize that they were giving her time to realize things on her own. I loved that there was an epilogue telling us just a little bit more of how life ended up with them since I didn't want to leave this little town. I really enjoyed this story and I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

Kansas. I love small town stories and this one doesn't disappoint. The people we encounter in this town are comical and quirky. Right away we meet Bri who has followed after her mom's passion of baking. She also has this interesting outlook on love. She wants a love like her parents had and she believes it was a fairytale kind of love. She is definitely a hopeless romantic. We also meet her pseudo aunts and business owners of the bakery Agnes and Mabel. They are the only connection that Bri has to her mother who passed away when she was younger. They were some of my favorite characters. They are truly a hoot. They are called the "love angels" by the townsfolk because they like to matchmake people in the town. Their number one challenge is trying to find a match for Bri.Of course we meet Gerard who is a journalist from Chicago and is the complete opposite of Bri.

Gerald has been assigned to write about the bakery and the famous lovelock wall. It was funny that he was assigned this article since he is not so much into all the romance hype. Gerald is determined to write the article and get out of town as fast as he can.

I loved reading how they spend time together and seeing the changes that come over them.
