She could be the girl of my dreams. Too bad I just made a fool of myself asking her out...

I’m a bit of a loon for a gal with red hair. But Emily is the full package—gorgeous, talented, confident. Plus, she’s the new pastry chef at the bakery across the street, which also supplies the baked goods for my coffee shop.

Me? I’m a coffee nerd and as shy as they come. So what did I do? I regaled her with trivia about the banana as a way to break the ice. Made sense since our first encounter was over her specialty—banana bread.

But now I fear I may have bored her to tears and lost my shot at that date. She’s a goddess, and I’m a mere mortal who admires her from afar.

Will she give me a chance to show her my wit, or will she throw out any thoughts of dating me like stale bread?

Brewed to Be Messy is the prequel to the Messy Love on Mango Lane closed door romantic comedy series. If you prefer bold leading ladies and frog princes, you’ll love this sweet tale where all these small town happily-ever-afters begin.
