‘Victoria Walters has made me her loyal fan with this fabulous book.
This is such a cute story and I got through it so quickly! This is the second book in the series, but I hadn’t read the first, so I feel like it did well as a standalone.
The story follows Emily, who is a baker. She’s kind, sweet, and in love. But, once she finds out her boyfriend has cheated, Emily decided to embark on a “new beginning; hence the title; all in the hopes of fixing her relationship, if at all possible.
Emily goes from a woman who isn’t entirely confident in herself or her life choices, to a woman redefined and happy.
I absolutely loved the writer’s style of whimsical, yet straight-forward and never boring romance. She grabbed me from the very beginning of this story and I’m really looking forward to reading the first in the series.
