Review: Worth the read

I loved Strawberries for Desert with its well drawn characters and finely wrought scenarios and regard it as one of the best of the M&M romances. It read as close to naturalistic avoiding the melodrama and wild plots this genre is inclined to. While it's easy to be drawn to the neurotic Cole hiding behind his sarcastic coolness and hair flicking, I always loved the more stolid Jon finally learning to go after what he needed.  A far superior book to the other Coda romances which can verge on the dreary particularly the ones with Angelo and Zach. Fear, Hope and Bread Pudding shares most of the characteristics of its predecessor but it is not quite a fully fledged sequel (can a romance really have one) but instead a sojourn into their lives as they tie up the threads left dangling and continue to build the family these loners both need. I enjoyed it and it's worth the read, it's just not amazing.
