Starred review from March 1, 2025
Kate Landry knows the only way to ensure order after a season of unexpected losses and curveballs is a plan, and hers most definitely does not include Micah Guidry. Now a charming librarian who had a talent for excellent kisses back in junior high, Micah reenters Kate's life with the easy compassion and acceptance Kate never received from her rigid parents or selfish ex-fianc�. Facing the chance to move her caf� to the French Quarter location of her late sister's dreams, Kate must choose between clinging to control or risking a second chance at love and family beyond anything she ever dreamed. Millet is back for another helping of heartwarming romance and faith, after Julia Monroe Begins Again (2023), continuing her delightful Beignets for Two series with faith-based friendships, an opposites-attract love story, and themes of forgiveness and trusting God's plan. Kate's Beignets & Books caf� is a haven for exploring the intersections of fear and control, dreams and intentions, self-doubt and growth. Millet skillfully blends New Orleans charisma with the realities of midlife responsibilities in an authentic love story alive with hope in second chances.
