Stirred Up: A Curvy Café Romance in Montreal's Little Italy (The Curvy Café Chronicles Book 1)

By BLOCKBUSTER STORY and Helena Moreau

Sweet. Bitter. Stirred Up.

Bianca Rossi has one mission: keep her family's beloved caf alive in Montreal's Little Italy. Romance? Not on the menu. Between overdue bills and her sisters' chaos, she doesn't have time for distractions.

Enter Luca DeLuca-her maddeningly handsome rival across the street. He's cocky, infuriating, and armed with pistachio knots that have the whole neighborhood talking. When the local festival forces them to share a booth, Bianca braces for battle.

But rivalry has a funny way of heating up.
Flour fights. Lemon cookies. Pistachio knots. A kiss that tastes like trouble. Soon the whole city is taking sides-Team Sweet vs. Team Bitter-and Bianca's heart is in as much danger as her caf .

If she lets Luca in, will she lose everything she's worked for? Or will she discover that love, like baking, is best when it's messy, sweet, and stirred up?

Stirred Up is the first book in The Curvy Caf Chronicles-a deliciously funny, heartwarming romance series about curvy heroines, sisterhood, and finding love where you least expect it. Perfect for fans of Abby Jimenez, Ali Hazelwood, and Emily Henry.

Early ARC Praise for Stirred Up

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Bianca and Luca's banter is pure gold-I devoured this book like one of Nonna's lemon cookies. Funny, sweet, and so much heart."

"Enemies-to-lovers perfection The foodie details made me hungry, the slow-burn tension made me swoon, and I can't wait for the next sister's story."

About the Author:

Helena Moreau writes swoony, slow-burn romantic comedies about strong, curvy heroines, cinnamon-roll men, and the beautiful chaos of falling in love when you least expect it. When she's not baking up fictional wedding disasters or writing flirty banter at midnight, she's drinking too much coffee, misplacing her phone, and pretending not to cry at strangers' love stories.

She believes in messy feelings, happy endings, and second chances-preferably with frosting.

Sweet on You is her debut novel and Book One of the Curvy Brides Club series.
