Instead an avalanche foils her plans, and she and Jack find themselves stranded…

The Sheriff and his highschool bride, Evie, are planning their wedding, but the Sheriff’s ex-wife has returned, and she has more than a few surprises up her sleeves. Does she plan to break the Sheriff and Evie up again?

THE POTLUCK CLUB TAKES THE CAKE is the final book in the Potluck Club series. I couldn’t wait to see what the ladies of the club and the nosy reporter following them were up to. Once I started reading the book, I couldn’t put it down.

The characters are extremely well developed, and the reader quickly grows to care about each one and their different circumstances they are involved with. Through it all the ladies grow as friends and as people, as they are forced to rely on God and each other. Delicious sounding recipes are included at the end of the book as well as directions for hosting a Christmas tea. $12.99. 376 pages.
