Kate Landry Has a Plan by Rebekah Millet: Book Review

The Book

I turned to him, and he winked at me. Winked! We needed clear lines in place between us. We would not be flirty friends. We'd be friends, period. The sooner I made that distinction, the better.

Forty-year-old Kate Landry's carefully planned life has become as messy as the powdered sugar on her famous beignets. Juggling the responsibilities of running her café, raising her teenage niece, and the emotional baggage from her breakup, Kate finds her world once again turned upside down when her first-ever crush, Micah Guidry, returns to town as the hunky local librarian.

As Kate struggles to implement her plans to expand her café amid the New Orleans Mardi Gras madness and the meddling of her conniving ex-fiancé, Micah becomes the unwitting hero of her misadventures, stirring up feelings she thought she'd long buried. How can falling in love in the Big Easy be this hard?

This clean contemporary romance includes themes of family, overcoming past heartbreak, and midlife romance in the vibrant city of New Orleans. Kate Landry Has a Plan is a perfect read for fans of Becky Wade, Pepper Basham, Courtney Walsh, Christian romance, and second-chance love stories.

Book Review

Kate Landry Has a Plan is the second book in the Beignets for Two series. While the main characters from the previous book do make some appearances, this could absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone as well. 

This was such a cute story! I was drawn in right away with the New Orleans/Mardi Gras setting. I've never personally been, but the author did a great job of bringing us in and creating a really fun backdrop for this sweet romance. Kate and Micah had a really cute chemistry together. There's something really sweet about getting a second chance with a first crush/kiss and that was certainly true for these two after so many years. Kate has a lot of plans throughout the story, but one thing that is clear throughout is that sometimes our plans don't always work out as we hope they will. Between family issues, a sneaky ex, animal mayhem and life raising a young teenager, there was so much going on in this story to keep things interesting... and I found myself enjoying every moment. If you enjoy Christian romance, this is certainly one to check out.
