Set to inherit her father’s bakery, Camila Soto’s one freedom is she can marry the man of her choosing. And she knows just the one: her longtime sweetheart, Gabriel Reyes.

 

But when her father changes the deal, bringing snobby suitors her way, she devises her own plan. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and she makes everything too salty, too spicy, and just plain awful . . . except for Gabriel’s favorite, besitos de coco.

 

Of Bears and Besitos is a humorous Goldilocks and the Three Bears-inspired story, full of bakery mayhem, Spanish-Caribbean flair, and strong faith themes.

What Readers Are Saying

Lewis calls “Sneaking past the watchful dragons”; while sweeping readers up in its fast-paced adventure, high stakes, and sweet, wholesome romance, Sin and Scales slips in a display of what it looks like to experience the mercy of God and invites the reader to taste and see.
