Summary:
As a child, Sarah Collier had negligent parents, and her only joy came when she spent Christmas and holidays with her grandmother in Twilight, Texas. She fell for the boy next door, Travis, who was far older than her. She even dreams of him every hear when she follows the mythos of the kismet cookie, which says that if you sleep with a cookie under your pillow on Christmas Eve, you will dream of the person you'll marry. Sarah's heart was broken when, on Christmas Day, Travis went and married someone else. (She was even his own age and everything!)
Fast forward a decade to Sarah as a huge rock star writer, who's trying to work on her second book, and whose broken heart as a kid has led her to never have a true love affair of any kind. Her editor sends her to a week-long publicity push in, where else, Twilight. Her presence was sought by the First Love Cookie Club, who are trying to make a little girl happy by bringing her favorite writer to town. Guess whose daughter that sweet little girl is. Travis. Sparks fly, hearts melt, and romance ensues.
Thoughts:
Not a bad romance novel, though it's pretty standard faire for the genre. The characters are nicely written, but this isn't exactly a James Patterson mystery. (The Patterson book will come soon!) More than anything, I expected a little talk about the actual recipe of the kismet cookies. They're supposedly amazing cookies, according to the book. With a title like "The First Love Cookie Club," I expected a little something. Oh well. Over all, it's just the standard romance story. At least there's no cop to fawn over.
