Kasia Jacubek looks like she has it all together. She's smart, has good
friends and is the owner of her own restaurant. Or at least one of them.
She does have a silent partner but doesn't know who he is nor has he
shown any interest in the place. That is until he shows up one day and
wants to take over. Why does he seem irritated with her and why does he
seem so familiar. She's never met him before, right? And why does Cupid
Cat always seem to be around, when she and Brodie are together, with
that matchmaking gleam in his eye?
Cupid Cat once again has his
work cut out for him in A Cup of Joy. And it won't be easy to convince
his victims...er, I mean clients, they belong together. I really liked
Kasia although there were times I just didn't understand her. But as a
reader I was seeing the whole picture and so it's easy to judge.
However, I think I would have handled her situation a bit differently.
Brodie was really a wonderful guy but had so much anger and resentment
built up that he hadn't dealt with, though you can understand why. This
is not necessarily an 'easy' read. It's filled with the emotions of two
hurting people that dealt with the hurt in very different ways. I
appreciated how the author made very clear that Christians aren't
promised an easy life or a trouble free existence, but in those troubled
times the Lord is right there with us. The author also points out, that
true joy comes when we keep our eyes on the Lord, who is unchanging,
and that we can have joy even through the difficulties. Great reminders
for all of us. Along with the emotion, there are splashes of humor along
the way. Which I always like. A Cup of Joy is the last book in the
series and you get to see all the ones you've come to know from the
previous stories. Harmony Village is a place I've enjoyed visiting with
its quaint places and very likeable people. Do watch out for Cupid Cat
though, because as you know, he always gets his match!
