How Sweet It IS by Robin Lee Hatcher

Holly Stanford is doing the best she can with the restaurant she inherited from her late uncle. But after her fiancé abandons her and the business, Holly regrets having given up her dream of becoming a pastry chef. Now a few bad financial decisions might cost her everything, including her hope for the future.
Jed Henning has done well with his new company despite his prodigal brother’s behavior. When Jed‘s father, the controlling member of the board of directors, temporarily suspends operations until his sons work out their differences, Jed resentfully chases his brother, Chris, to Boise. There Jed rents a basement apartment from Holly and hopes to convince Chris to get his act together before their company collapses.
Unaware that Holly is the one person who can help him get through to Chris, Jed starts the tough work of reconciliation armed with little more than a few family photographs, a stack of old letters, and a Bible that belonged to his great-grandfather, Andrew Henning. And as romance blossoms between Holly and Jed, the story of Jed’s great-grandfather highlights the power of God across the generations and the legacy of a family’s courageous faith.

Holly is stuck with a restaurant she really doesn't want.  Her ex-fiancé convinced her to  open the restaurant with his promise that he would help her run it while she concentrated on her baking business.  Well, that was before the fiancé decided he didn't want to be engaged any more and left town.  Jed is on the look out for his younger brother.  Their dad gave Jed an ultimatum to find Chris or he would close Jed's business.  

This is a story of reconciliation and listening instead of jumping in with both feet without all the facts.  An easy read that keeps your interest.

I was given this book by Thomas Nelson Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
