Devoted To Hope's Review of Home Baked Bribery
A dash of mystery, a pinch of humor, and a whole lot of small-town charm—this book served up a delightful read!
The writing flows effortlessly, keeping you hooked from start to finish. The pacing? Spot on, with just the right mix of suspense, wit, and warmth to keep you turning pages. The mystery? Twisty enough to keep me guessing while keeping me entertained!
And the characters? Oh, they’re delightful. Addie is such a fun lead—her junk removal job keeps her in the middle of Rockport’s drama, whether she wants to be or not. And then there’s Talia, her housemate, who’s got her own hands full with the baking competition. Poppy and Marigold, the town’s 100-year-old twin troublemakers, had me smiling every time they showed up—with their disappearing pugs only adding to the fun.
This book is the perfect cozy escape—clean, entertaining, and packed with that small-town charm that makes you want to grab a cup of tea and settle in for the ride. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially the strong Christian content at the end.
