Spooning Daisy (An Otter Bite Romance Book 1) Kindle Edition

It's a long way from Seattle to Otter Bite, Alaska. But if one woman can survive the trip--and the locals--she just might find what her heart has been searching for.

Her mango chutney is exquisite; her blueberry sauce is to die for. But right now, Chef de Cuisine Daisy Moon is a woman without a kitchen--and without a fiancé. Unceremoniously dumped from her place of business and her relationship, Daisy sells her belongings, plus a few of her ex's, and packs her bags. Maybe smashing all the china in her former restaurant was a bad move. Stripped of her Golden Spoon for "un-chef-like" conduct, she is now blacklisted all over Seattle. Her sole job offer is from the Wild Man Lodge…in Otter Bite, Alaska.

Too bad Daisy can't even get out of Dodge without incident. By the time she boards a ship for Alaska, she's got a trail of new troubles behind her, and suddenly Otter Bite is sounding pretty good. But the vessel turns into her own personal Titanic when a series of close encounters confirms her terrible taste in men--including one very good looking bad luck charm named Max Kendall. She vows to dedicate the rest of her days to chowders and brulée. Yet even Alaska isn't far enough away to shake the memories of the sexy shipmate who rocked her cabin--and her world. Thank goodness she's done with surprises--but they may not be done with her…

Maggie McConnell is a Golden Heart-nominated romance novelist ("Eclipsing Maddie", "Spooning Daisy") who moonlights as internationally-selling women’s fiction author, Kate René MacKenzie ("A School of Daughters").

Maggie (and Kate) spent her childhood overseas, the daughter of US diplomats. Attending college in Illinois, she volunteered at the local humane shelter, eventually becoming director. While earning a BA in Art and then an MBA, Maggie worked at various jobs including go-go girl, bartender, and teaching assistant. At 26, she sold her 280Z and packed her dog and cat into a Ford truck and drove the Alcan Highway to Alaska where she spent 23 years exploring The Last Frontier in a single-engine Cessna. Her next adventure was in Arizona on a no-kill ranch at the end of the road where she photographed and journaled her many encounters with the local wildlife. A vegan and animal rights advocate, Maggie provides a sanctuary for all creatures great and small, but her immediate family includes horses Quinn and Hershey, cat Noelle and dog Lucy. Between writing and family, Maggie continues to travel, using the places she has lived and visited as settings for her books. But her compass always points north to Alaska.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!

The vivid, pristine colors and smells of the Alaskan wilderness is the perfect setting for this frustratingly, uplifting, romantic comedy. A progressive sequence of miscues, assumptions, and miscommunications. I cheered for this couple from their first meeting.
I would definitely recommend this book. I enjoyed the characters so much I read it twice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy, zinger romance
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2016

The sweet-simple front cover of this book hardly does justice to the multi-faceted characters, setting, and plot that intertwine on its pages. Daisy and Max grew on me as I got to know them, with their unique skills and talents, and their all-too-human foibles. I found myself caught up in their inescapable, off-and-on dance with its surprising twists and turns. I felt their highs and lows, from hilarious to dismaying to breathtakingly sexy--until a perfect ending finally came. Take the ferry ride to Otter Bite and immerse yourself in this smart, sleek, sophisticated romance, and you'll be a happy reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, entertaining book
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2016

I'm not a romance reader but read this book on a friend's recommendation. Never knew romances could include humor, but Daisy has many hilarious, almost slapstick, moments as well as heart-pounding sexual tension between Max and Daisy. They go through misunderstandings and not the best behavior until they manage to get together. Clever plotting, twists, surprises plus vivid settings like Alaska's Inside Passage and the fictional yet Alaska-true Otter Bite region complete with a tame bear named Yogi. McConnell is a smart, literate writer, another surprise for this non-romance reader. I'll continue reading McConnell's books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spooning Daisy
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2017
4.5 Stars!
Oh I really enjoyed reading this book! I posted a showcase for this book a while back but didn't have the time to read it than. Boy am I glad I finally did read it!

This was exactly the type of book I love to read. It was a lot of fun and holy cow can that girl get herself into some trouble without even trying! I loved Daisy with all her quirkiness. I love characters like this - unique, fun, never a dull moment. I loved her aversion to sleeping on other people's sheets. I loved her non-stop talking. I loved her turtle, Elizabeth (I had two turtles! For years they were my pets and I used to let them walk around my apt. just like Daisy did - awww).

Max, I wasn't so sure about. He did end up redeeming himself in the end but the whole way through I was so unsure about him, he just wasn't winning my heart. I'm pretty sure that was the author's plan all along though - so job well done!

Yes this book is a chick-lit style romance, which I love. But it's also speckled with these beautiful detailed descriptions of the Alaskan wilderness, which I also loved. I felt like I was right there.
This story is funny at times, and a lot of crap happens, it's kind of typical romantic comedy stuff. But, also very endearing, an absolute delight to read!

I am thinking that since it is "An Otter Bite Romance" there are more??? If so, I definitely would like to read them!

I voluntarily posted this review after receiving a copy of this book from the Author - Thank You!
