About this ebook

Enjoy this faith-filled Christian romance series by award-winning author Kayla Lowe…


Elenora Winters has a sweet life—or so she tells herself. As the proud owner of Heavenly Bites, the best bakery in her small town (okay, the only bakery in her small town), she spends her days baking angel cakes and sprinkling joy—and powdered sugar—everywhere she goes. She’s perfectly content to stay single, thank you very much. After all, she’s got Jesus, a thriving business, and a trusty KitchenAid mixer. Who needs more than that?

Dr. Matt Raine wasn’t planning to come back home. After years of serving in medical missions abroad, he’s back in town for what’s supposed to be a quick pit stop before his next adventure. But when a chance encounter with a flour-covered Elenora at a charity bake sale leads to a series of laugh-out-loud mishaps, deep conversations, and undeniable sparks, Matt starts to wonder if God’s plans for his future might look a little more…stationary.

As the two are thrown together planning church events, Matt and Elenora find themselves wrestling with their callings—and their growing feelings for each other. Can Matt let go of his longing for the mission field? Can Elenora take a leap of faith and open her heart to something new?

With a bakery full of buttercream mishaps, a small-town church community that’s equal parts nosy and loving, and plenty of heartfelt moments of prayer and laughter, Heavenly Bites is a story of faith, unexpected blessings, and love baked to perfection.

You’ll laugh, you’ll swoon, and you’ll cheer as Elenora and Matt discover that God’s sweetest surprises often come when you least expect them.


All the books in this sweet romance series can be read as standalones. For fans of Grace Meyers, Sage Parker, and Jessie Gussman, this is a clean and wholesome romantic story with a guaranteed happily ever after. Like all Kayla’s sweet romance books, it’s clean with no cursing. Enjoy!

Eleanor is the town’s beloved baker while Matt is a doctor. They are mutually attracted to each other but obstacles prevent them from being together. While Eleanor is bogged down with the demands of her popular bakery and her other fundraising projects, Matt is led to leave the town on a mission trip, away from her. The novella was a quick and sweet read and I loved how the couple’s differences balanced each other out. The resolution was a beautiful one too.

A beautiful book that was fun and inspirational, I couldn’t put it down.
