Want to Read

I enjoy reading the [ASIN:1935416642 Love Finds You in Hershey, Pennsylvania] Love Finds You Series and have been waiting for this next book. All the Love Finds You books are great reads!

Sweet Treat to Read!

I throughly enjoyed Love Finds You in Hershey, Pennsylvania by Cerella D. Sechrist! The author did a great job creating memorable characters and putting them in challenging situations that kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next. I especially enjoyed the relationship between Sadie and her daughter Kylie. As a mother of five kids myself, I remember some of those funny experiences from when they were preschool age, and that really added to my enjoyment of the story. Jasper's love for Sadie and Kylie was also very well done. I was sorry to say goodbye to these characters! I enjoyed the humorous situations in the story. They were a good balance to the issues Sadie was facing with her father and with her business. The themes of giving and receiving forgiveness as well as trusting God were well woven into the story. Congratulations to Cerella D. Sechrsit for writing such an outstanding debut novel! I will look forward to reading her next book!

LFYI Hershey is a wonderfully delightful read!

Love Finds You in Hershey, Pennsylvania by Cerella D. Sechrist is a wonderfully charming book that you will not want to miss! I truly did love this story. The author has the most wonderful sense of humor. I love a book that gets me to laugh out loud and there were times when I was nearly crying with laughter during this book. The story has a few twists that keep you hanging on and guessing as to what's going to happen. It's the characters that make this story special, in my opinion. She has created some absolutely wonderful characters in this story! There's family drama and romance as well as faith issues and every day problems that we all face at one time or another. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. It will hook you from the beginning and keep you hooked until the end. I personally could not put it down once I started.

A sweet read!

What a fabulously sweet break-out novel. In Sadie Spencer, Cerella Sechrist has created a well rounded real heroine we all can relate to. Her life is far from perfect - she's a working single mother trying to raise her little handful Kylie, who has an obsession with the volcano - oh I mean the toilet! ;) Sadie's own obsession with desserts and perfection all add unnecessary fuel to her relationship with her best friend and rock, Jasper, making for a very combustible situation. This truly inspiring romance has everything - fun, quirky characters, who keep you laughing; a plot rife with solid conflict including a prodigal father, a mysterious Russian, and a dessert contest all set in the magical chocolate mecca of Hershey, PA. It's a must read for anyone who loves a good story of forgiveness, true love and chocolate!

A "Sweet" Read

Okay I should have waited until the end of the year to read this book...you know save the best for last and that sort of thing. I LOVED this book and I'm so excited to add Cerella Sechrist to my "must read" author list. What a way to start the new year! I love the Love Finds You series but Love Finds You in Hershey, Pennsylvania, is by far, my favorite. There's a little bit of everything in it, including romance (*sigh* some scenes in this book are soooo romantic, think Romeo and Juliet balcony scene) and humor (I'll never think of the bathroom in the same way again) plus it made me cry! Oh yeah, did I mention there are even Russian mobsters?! Seriously! It's not too often that I can say this about a book, especially an author's first novel, but I loved every minute of it. Sadie was terrific and it was easy to relate to her feelings of inadequacy and the need to compete to achieve "perfection." This book dealt with the important issues of seeking God's forgiveness as well as the forgiveness of others and yourself and letting go of the past. Sadie had to learn to mix the sweet and sour to create the perfect recipe for her life. This book is definitely a sweet success!
