Narelle’s Book Recommendation:

I enjoyed reading Kate Landry Has a Plan, the second book in Rebekah Millet’s Beignets for Two series set in New Orleans. Kate is a busy single parent who’s raising her thirteen-year-old niece, Hayley. They live above Beignets and Books Cafe, that Kate inherited from her grandmother in the Garden District on Saint Charles Avenue.

It’s Mardi Gras season and Kate holds functions in her renovated cafe courtyard. The story opens with a Bridezilla delaying Kate at the cafe, which makes her run late to collect Hayley from the library. Kate calls the librarian and leaves an apology message.

When Kate arrives at the library, she’s mortified to discover the new temporary librarian, who listened to her embarrassing phone message, is Micah. He was Kate’s first crush in seventh grade and their library meet cute is awkward and amusing.

Micah’s back in town to help care for his father after living in Colorado since college. The story is in first person from Kate’s point of view, and we learn more about Micah, including why his marriage didn’t last, as the story progresses.

I enjoyed journeying with Kate in the story. She’s a go-getter with business smarts and a quirky sense of humor who adores her niece. Hayley loves hanging out at the library, which means Kate can’t avoid seeing Micah. Hayley is also desperate to own a puppy.

Kate and Micah’s romance is delightful and sweet. They have many problems to overcome, including how to implement Kate’s plan. I loved how all the story threads came together in a satisfying story ending. The charming New Orleans setting, with its unique culture, food and delicious beignets, provided a beautiful backdrop for the story. The fascinating and quirky cast of side characters, and the animals in the story, added many humorous moments.

I recommend Kate Landry Has a Plan to contemporary romance readers who like midlife second chances romances set in New Orleans with family drama and a relevant faith element in the story.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher. Many thanks to Bethany House for the advanced reader copy. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
