The Peach Keeper

I love Allen's books. They go down like iced coffee on a hot day. Interesting stories? Check. Everyday magic? Check.
I like to think of Allen as “Alice Hoffman-lite”. Allen never really dives deep, it's all surface work, but for fans of women's fiction who are looking for something a little more, then these books fit the bill. The stories are always about discovering who you really are-in this one it is defined by who you are romancing (blech- I am not a romance person), but still a good story.
Allen's writing has improved. I could have done without the cameo from one of her characters from a different book (it felt really out of place and was kind of pointless, not to mention would throw off someone who has not read all of the other books).
Overall, a great Spring read for anyone who wants something light and airy-with a touch of magic.
I have to confess that one whole star goes just to all of the coffee references. Coffeeology rocks.
Cream and an equal over here.
