Synopsis (Goodreads):

Scottie recently made some life-changing decisions. (One might even call them rash.) She’s turned her whole world upside down and desperately wants to set it upright. After wallowing for a good month in her grandmother’s cottage in Ripple Creek, the small mountain town where she spent most of her childhood, Scottie sets off, determined to leave the past behind and fulfill her dream of starting a bakery.

In the midst of planning her new business, Scottie learns how to tamp down feelings for her childhood crush, meets new, interesting friends and stumbles upon a murder. It’s not the first time Scottie’s found herself at a murder scene and, once again, she’s intrigued. Now, the question is—was this a case of mistaken identity or did the killer know exactly what they were doing?

Thoughts on Heads Will Cinnamon Roll: Okay. So Scottie's not in the best place (emotionally speaking) since she's sort of reeling from her decision to ditch her fiancé (days before the wedding) and buy a bakery. Or a potential bakery. A place that will eventually be a bakery again once she gets some much-needed work done on it. Regardless, she's dragging herself through her days and her grandmother is getting a little worried about her.

Actually, considering the small town thing going on here, the entire town is a little worried. Or at least mildly concerned because they're excited for that potential bakery and all the delicious goodness that will be coming from it.

Circumstances have Scottie starting to find her feet again when a case of statue vandalism and, well, murder really get her blood pumping. She also gets to make a new friend and we get to learn exactly how unsuited Dalton is with his fiancée. Look, it's probably hard to tell, but I have strong feelings about who Scottie needs to be eyeballing and he needs to figure out that the lady he's currently with is NOT a good fit for him (as Scottie's grandma has pointed out more than once).

Defaced statues, a dead body, a little intrigue, a little sleuthing, longing looks, and some danger. Yep, I'm enjoying Ripple Creek quite a bit!
