I pray today finds you all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.
My hubby and I are back from our anniversary getaway, and I couldn't wait to get back into reading and reviewing books for you all.
Today I'm excited to be sharing with you all my review of the fourth book in D.E Malone's Blueberry Point Romance series. This series has become a favorite of mine, and I couldn't wait to dive back into another installment of it.

Love, Lies and Lemon Pie by D. E. Malone:
Source: Complimentary Copy Provided by the Author
Publication Date: September 28th, 2021
Genre: Clean Fiction/Small Town Romance
Series: Blueberry Point Romance
Synopsis:
Ambitious pastry chef Mila Warner dreams of winning the Taste of the North Shore Festival bake-off, hoping it will catapult her onto the regional food scene once and for all. Maybe claiming the top prize will be her ticket to earning a livable income without holding down three jobs, including the pleasant but stagnant job of overseeing the kitchen staff at Blueberry Point Lodge. Her only problem is paying that hefty entry fee.
As interim editor of the Lakeshore Weekly, Cam Beckett is sticking around long enough for his publisher to find someone else to fill the role. He has four weeks to plan a special supplement for the local food festival. His first task—interviewing Mila Warner who has charmed the local food scene—and him—with her custom picnics and sought-after pastries.
When a mysterious benefactor steps forward to sponsor Mila, her dream is within reach. But the gift comes with a condition, one Mila isn’t sure she’s willing to meet, especially if the strings are attached to someone’s heart.

My Review:
I always look forward to new titles in D.E. Malone's Blueberry Point Romance series, and Love, Lies and Lemon Pie might just be my favorite yet. This heartwarming, clean romance includes a beautiful friends to something more romance, mouthwatering delicacies, and a well developed plot that keeps readers engaged in the story right from the opening sentence.
I love how each title in this series is original, and unique in its own right, and I particularly enjoyed Mila's career choice in this one, as I loved the idea of a company that stages picnics, and had never heard of such a thing before this. I appreciated how Mila's character is determined to make her own way in life, even though doing so has put her on the outs with the majority of her family. She truly believes in going with her own flow, and she's definitely my favorite female protagonist from the series so far. Cam is an absolute sweetheart, and I truly adored his character. He cares so much, and always goes the extra mile for a friend or family member in need. I loved his awkward side that comes out when he's trying to initially express his interest in Mila, and their relationship was completely adorable to read about. I had a smile on my face for the majority of the story, and I love when that's the case.
D.E. Malone has truly blown me away with this series, and I honestly feel like each title just keeps getting better and better. While you definitely could read these titles as stand alones, do yourself a favor and start from the beginning, as I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Another charming installment in the Blueberry Point Romance series, and one that I can't possibly recommend enough.
Final Rating: 5/5.
Thanks so much to D.E. Malone for allowing me to advance read and review this!
I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thanks so much for reading guys! I hope you all have a great weekend :)
