On the rolling hills that border the Brazos River lies Honey Creek, Texas—a small town where family bonds and legends run deep, and friendship and love are always close to hand . . . Piper Kate McKenzie, mayor of Honey Creek, won’t let a major scandal rip her quirky hometown apart, or jeopardize her dream of one day running for higher office. So she calls for reinforcements to find the source of corruption in the sheriff’s office—two men recommended by her Texas Ranger brothers . . . At seventeen, Sam Cassidy left home, heeding the call to be a preacher. Later he found another mission: serving his country. After his one love died, he lost both his faith and his fight. Drifting from one assignment to another, he’s come to Honey Creek intending to earn his pay check and move on. As a Dallas cop, Coby Riddell has grown skeptical and wary. People have a bad habit of disappointing each other, but the job never lets him down. This job in particular—his first undercover—is too intriguing to pass up. Piper, who’s been wondering if Honey Creek might be the only real love of her life, suddenly finds herself drawn to two very different men. And if she can keep her town—and her heart—from going completely off the rails, there may be a sweet, unexpected future in store . . .

"At first blush, Breakfast at the Honey Creek Cafe seems like the perfect summertime read. And while I did enjoy the Southern charm and atmosphere, it became abundantly clear to me in the early chapters that this book was not what I thought it would be. That's not to say that it was bad or I didn't enjoy it, I just came into it thinking it would be a cute romance, and it almost seemed more like a cozy mystery with some romance on the side.<br/><br/>Piper Jane Mackenzie is the mayor of your average Small Town, USA. Except her fake fiancee and the sheriff both went missing the same night, and now she's trying to figure out what to do to save her career. Enter a mischievous trooper who is called on by her brother to investigate, and whose cover story is a man trying to be Piper's boyfriend. There is also Sam, a preacher new to town, and Pecos, a young high school graduate, to add to the mix.<br/><br/>I think my biggest issue with the book was the intent. I wasn't really sure where it was going and why there were so many characters and different perspectives. It takes a while to figure out, but it's a Southern novel, so I forgive it for its slower pace. It meanders a bit, but like Honey Creek itself, it takes a little getting used to before you can enjoy it!"
