I love Fran and her crew at Antonia's. I loved seeing her learn a new recipes for the café. I liked that the romantic entanglement was dealt with in one book. I also like that Fran is aware of what she wants and isn't afraid to tell someone no. This is a great series.
Not as good as the first one, but not bad either.
Earl Grey... sigh Earl Grey is flavored tea. It's not ordinary black tea. It has bergamot oil in it. Now, if you put only a little of that thing in the tea, it enhances the flavor of tea, but most Earl Grey teas have too much of the thing in them, and it has an artificial flavor to it. I refuse to drink Earl Grey nowadays as it tastes like someone has poured a flask of perfume into my teacup.
I also didn't know iced tea isn't necessarily sweetened.
Oh, and the “how DARE you suspect me?!?!” reaction. I can't stand it. How DARE you assume you are somehow above everyone else? How DARE you get offended by being treated as a human being? How DARE you assume criminals are somehow recognizable just by looks?
And the damned argument about whether Todd was guilty or not. All Matt wanted was Franny to admit he COULD have been guilty. That she didn't KNOW he wasn't. I think her behavior was really bitchy and I resent that.
I like how Matt and Franny's relationship evolves. :-) Makes me happy :-)
