Sometimes a long wait is very much worth it. The
second installment of Hillary Manton Lodge’s Two Blue Doors trilogy proved that
to be true. Reservations for Two is a delectable tale of sweet romance,
hearty recipes, and family mysteries that span several generations. Plus, it has
a stunning cover that I’d love to slip into for a while.
As Juliette D’Alisa prepares to open a new restaurant
with her brother, Nico, she gets caught up in the family mysteries that unfold
in handwritten letters from a couple of generations back. Will the secrets she
uncovers aid her in sorting out her own uncertain future?
The thing I like the most about this trilogy—so far—is
how Reservations for Two picks up
right where A Table by the Window left
off. As in, it picks up in the same phone call. I know because I pulled out my
copy of book one to check. That book two continues Juliette’s story so
seamlessly took me by surprise. But I also found it a delightful, unique way to
shift from one book to the next. I’m hoping for more of that fabulous
continuity in the final book of the series.

Author Hillary Manton Lodge brought more of her trademark touch of scrumptious food woven into the
storyline. It was almost like a cookbook coming to life and sharing its
time-tested secrets. I still love how Hillary includes complete recipes at the
end of many chapters. It really is a fun bonus you get when you purchase one of
her books.
