The Sweetest Kiss: Fun Facts

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a book? I've put together some fun facts about The Sweetest Kiss:

Original Title

The original title of The Sweetest Kiss was The Little Teashop of Broken Hearts

Lots of Kisses

In the very early stages, each chapter was going to have a title describing a type of kiss (chapter one was The Hello Kiss)

Sweet Date

In The Wedding Date, Delilah goes on a date at a café with only sweet things on the menu. I loved the setting so much, I knew I wanted to return, so it became the setting of Maddie's story

Sweet Name

The three ladies who work at Sweet Street Teashop have names inspired by cake:
Maddie - short for Madeleine(s)
Mags - short for Magdalena(s)

Victoria (sponge)

Naming Caleb

My teenage daughter and I became obsessed with Pretty Little Liars, so when it came to naming my hero, I turned to the show for inspiration!

Writing The Little Teashop of Broken Hearts

The first draft of the book took nine weeks. I kept a little diary, which you can read here

Setting

The book is set in Woodgate, where most of my books are set. It's a fictional suburb of Greater Manchester

Dating has never been so sweet!

Baker Maddie Lamington is supposed to be living her best life, but she’s been dumped and her dream business is failing. Soon she is going to be single and jobless, unless she can come up with a plan to draw customers to her sweet little café.

When her apple crumble inadvertently becomes the catalyst that brings two of her customers together, Maddie has an idea to fill her café with customers – and love.

And with love in the air at Sweet Street Café, could Maddie’s delicious bakes mend her broken heart too?
