Say When by Bree Kraemer – Review by Kerry Baker

Say When (A Cedarville Novel Book 9)Say When by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Say When by Bree Kraemer is the ninth book in her Cedarville series. This is such a strong series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but I dare you to try and stop yourself from falling in love with this whole series.
Dani and Patrick have got to be my favourites so far. I found Dani to be so relatable. Which made it so easy to become very invested in her character and her story. I was desperate for the two of them to find a way to make things work, to learn how to communicate with each other.
And to make it even better it was a book about a best friends sister. They are always one of my favourite books and this was no exception.
As always with this series I found this book to be heartwarming and well written. My favourite so far and it has made me even more excited to read what else is to come.

Patrick and Dani, finally! I could honestly read a book about every Cedarville resident and I’d never get enough of this series.
I loved this story, and as with every book in this series this is now my favorite.
Dani is a baker and has always dreamt of opening a bakery, but her fear makes that thought impossible in her eyes. In comes Patrick, who she knows from years ago. He is a cook and server at Dockside, and they’ve never put 2 and 2 together of who each other were.
This story was sweet in every way but also so hot it’ll melt your kindle!

Say When by Bree Kraemer is the ninth book in the Cedarville series. I can’t believe there have already been nine books in this series and I have loved each and every one of them and hope there are more to come.

Dani a sweet shy baker with problems speaking with men. She is desperate to come out of her shell and discover the person she is under that fear.

Patrick is the other chef at Dockside and cannot stop eating the cupcakes that are delivered daily. He’s surprised to find out he has known the baker since she was a kid.

This was a very sweet story without a lot of drama which was not needed to make their story wonderful. I hope to see this group of friends again in the future since I’m not ready to let them go.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoy my visits to Cedarville. Now, don’t worry too much if you haven’t read all of the previous Cedarville novels from Bree Kraemer before this one. I would really only be concerned that you read “After All These Years” which is book #7. That is where we first get to meet the main characters of “Say When”. All of Kraemer’s Cedarville’s novels are fantastic though. I truly love the cast of characters. They all vary and are like old friends that we get to visit from time to time. I would have to say this one happens to be one of my favorites though and comes as a nice and sweet heartwarming read that I just couldn’t put down until I had devoured all of it in one sitting.

Like I said we have met Dani before in the seventh book, “After All These Years.” There we found out all about her shyness. It really inhibits her ability to live out in the open or find love. But it doesn’t affect her gift of baking. She makes some delicious treats and finds herself making the deserts that are served at the restaurant that Wes runs and opens in the book.

Patrick was hired as the chef of Wes’s restaurant. He himself is a quiet guy. His passion for cooking is sort of similar to Dani’s love of baking. Patrick has also fallen in love with the cupcakes that he has been consuming at the restaurant. He just wishes he knew who made them. One day fate gives him the opportunity to find out just who that it. He is blown away by how sexy and stunning she is. He is even more shocked to learn she is the same shy and introverted girl that he used to know as his sister’s best friend, just all grown up.

What will happen when they both discover that the attractions are mutual? Can Dani overcome her shyness just enough to let herself feel love? Will these two mix up more than just a good dish or treat?
I loved this installment, and I personally can’t wait to find out what will come next for the little town of Cedarville. Thanks for another great read Bree Kraemer!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Say When by Bree Kramer is the 9th book in the Cedarville Series. This story can absolutely be read as a standalone, but you will want to go back and read about the other friends also.

Cedarville is one of those communities that everyone knows someone so essentially everyone knows everyone else. Reading each book in the series is like connecting with old friends.

“Say When” is a quick romance that is easy to read, moves very quickly in time and events, and I was happy for all involved.

I recommend this entire series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Say When by Bree Kraemer a five-star read that will melt your heart. This is the ninth book in the Cedarville Novels and each book invites you into a group of people that you feel such a bond with you miss them between stories. This time it’s the turn of Dani and Patrick, people who have played a small part in the groups before but are now being pulled fully into the fold. Dani was a complex and compelling character, I kept wondering why she wasn’t able to speak to men, why she felt she couldn’t be a fully productive member of society and the author did a great job of showing us why and helping us like she helps Dani. Patrick and his obsession with cupcakes still make me smile and blush a little when I think of frosting. Those cupcakes were so well written about you could almost taste the cupcakes on your tongue. Overall a very nicely don’t visit to Cedarville, I cant wait to go back and visit again.

Say When (A Cedarville Novel Book 9)Say When by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Say When by Bree Kraemer is book nine of the Cedarville series. I highly suggest reading the series in order. Not only because the series is great and one of my absolute favorites but all the characters from previous books show up and reading the books in order gives you some background info.

We are welcomed back to Cedarville for Dani’s story and boy is it sweet. Dani is downright scared to talk to men outside of a work/school setting. It’s mainly single men she has a problem being around. Color her shocked when she runs into an old crush while dropping cupcakes and pies off for Wes. At first she can’t find her footing but after another encounter, she finds herself really comfortable around Patrick. While her feelings for Patrick bubble to the surface again, she’s sure Patrick doesn’t feel the same way.

Patrick knows Dani needs a friend to help her work through her fear. He can’t help how he feels about her. Patrick’s got his own issues regarding whether or not he and Dani could have a relationship. Will these two work through their issues or are the destined to be friends?

I absolutely love this series and this book is no exception. I love my visits to Cedarville. I feel like the town is part of my home now. I strongly encourage you to read this book and the whole Cedarville series.

By Bree Kraemer
5 Stars

Jumping into a book mid-series is always tricky. Although most books can be read as stand-alone you always get a sense that you’re missing something by not reading the other books in the series. This is not the case with Say When by Bree Kraemer. Ms. Kraemer does such a fabulous job painting the town of Cedarville and re/introducing her characters that you feel like you missed nothing. And the wonderful story of Dani & Patrick was just the icing on the cake!

Dani has always been shy and introverted. Her only outlet has been her baking. But Dani has dreams to one day open her own bakery. The only thing holding her back is her fear. Her best friend’s older brother Patrick thinks he can help Dani finally attain her dream.

Patrick loves getting the baked treats at Dockside. They are the best part of his day. He finally gets to meet the person behind the deliciousness and realizes that she happens to be his little sister’s best friend. Patrick soon realizes that Dani is just as sweet as her creations but something is holding her back. Can he entice Dani out of her shell and help her realize that life can be just as sweet?

This book was so charmingly sweet. The town, the people, the atmosphere were great. Ms. Kraemer painted such a vivid picture of her world, that I would have asked my husband if we could go visit! The story was well paced and flowed very nicely. I truly enjoyed this book so much that I am now going back and reading from the beginning! I can’t wait to get to Dani & Patrick’s story again but I am looking forward to meeting everyone else along the way!!

Say When A Cedarville Novel #9 By Bree Kraemer

Five Stars

This author writes some of the sweetest books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. The characters have great personalities and they have a great set of friends. Dani is me growing up. I was super shy but came out of it as I got into high school. It still hits me at moments but I always push it away. It’s crazy how she remained so sweet. Patrick is the perfect guy for her. They went so well together. I cracked up about how they went on and on about wanting each other but never seeing if the other person felt the same way. I have enjoyed every boom in this series. The author doesn’t disappoint with this one either. The writing is smooth and straight to the point. The characters give you something to relate to. Let’s hope that Sabrina is next I can’t wait to watch her fall.

Who wouldn’t want to live in Cedarville? I know I definitely would! The author has truly created a wonderful place where some of the most amazing characters live and their stories take place! I know that every time I pick up a book from this series I am in for a good and usually heart-warming read. Say When is book 9 in the series but can easily be read as a standalone.
I loved Dani and Patrick’s story! I will admit I found myself frustrated with them at times however the more I read the more I realised that actually it is just the way these characters were. Dani is shy especially around men so communicating with them isn’t going to be easy for her and Patrick was trying to not to push her too far. There were some miscommunications between the two and I was rooting for them so much throughout the story. I thought that Patrick was perfect for Dani!
I love the way this author manages to completely captivate me by her writing, I am always completely invested in her characters stories and they are always believable and relatable.
As always I am very much looking forward to more from Bree Kramer in the future and I definitely recommend Say When and the rest of the books in the Cedarville series!

Say When (A Cedarville Novel Book 9)
By Bree Kraemer
Rated 5 stars

This is a sweet (play on words) story. The book is good. The characters have growth and are fun to read. Dani is a baker who is funny, smart, curvy and afraid to talk to men. She doesn’t have friends as she only bakes and works her nine to five job. I think her life might be changing.
Patrick is a chef at Dockside. He is adorable and sexy. He has one vice and that’s the cupcakes delivered to the restaurant every morning. Patrick’s love of her cupcakes is outrageous! I agree with Dani…he might need to join a gym if he doesn’t restrict himself.

This series has a large cast. It’s nice to touch base with them when a new book is released. Sabrina who we saw in the last couple books is a bartender with a no nonsense attitude. I can’t wait to see if she will get her story. It should be fun to read.

This is a good series. Nothing much happened here just a good old romantic story full of sweetness….in more ways than one. Well let me rephrase..there is a lot of relationship problems discussed from jealousy to being afraid to “be honest” with your significant other. Great advice was given throughout the book to all parties.

The story Say When (A Cedarville Novel Book 9) by Bree Kraemer is a contemporary romance book. It is a story that had my attention from the very beginning and that I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the final page. It is a wonderful story that I loved reading. I loved reading about that characters of Dani and Patrick. Dani is a woman who loves to bake. Her goal in life is the run her own bakery and she is working to save money in order to make her dream come true. She also is a woman who has a fear that can be overwhelming at times. Patrick is a man that loves the cupcakes that Dani brings in to where he works. He has no qualms about eating them instead of selling them to customers. When he finds out about Dani’s fear he takes it upon himself to offer her his assistance. That these two find each other attractive is undeniable. They can’t stop thinking about each other however they are not vocalizing the way they feel about each other to each other. Will Patrick be able to help Dani conquer her fear? Will these two finally tell each other the way they truly feel about each other? The chemistry is there and those around them can see they are in love. Will these two find happiness and an HEA? Read this book to find out. When reading about Dani and her cupcakes Patrick makes them sound so good I wanted to try them. I love that Dani is someone who is working towards the dream she has and is willing to take a chance to make it come true. She is gorgeous, funny, and smart. I also loved how Patrick is a caring and compassionate man to help Dani. Both Patrick and Dani are characters that I grew to love with each chapter that I read. This is another amazing story in a series that I have loved since reading the first book. I like that some of the other characters are brought forward in each book and that you get to find out what they are up to. You feel like they are friends you are checking in with. This story is wonderfully written and one I would highly recommend reading.

Cedarville is one of my favorite places to visit, even if only for a short time while I’m reading..Another home run from this author who has already placed herself firmly on my favorite authors list.

This one was sweet, and although our main characters drove me insane with their lack of communication and just assuming they knew what the other was thinking, I still completely enjoyed every word in this story.

This story dealt with insecurities that a person just has naturally and it was nice for a change to not have some life altering secret floating around that caused this insecurity, and it was nice as well that while getting through this insecurity a person finds out just how strong they really are. I loved Dani, even though at times I had to remind myself how old she was because in many places she seemed much younger, I still absolutely loved who she became and how she got there in this story. Then there was Patrick…sigh…there’s not a lot I can say about him except that I fell in love with him immediately.

For such a short story it never felt rushed and was a perfect addition to the Cedarville novels…I’ve said it before and will say it again…when this series is complete I will be lining them all up on my kindle on a cold ugly weekend and reading them one right after the other.

Loved It!!

I enjoyed how in this book we get to see what Dani’s story is, we got to meet her in one of the previous books. She is a woman who is afraid of men and loves to bake. She meets Patrick when she is dropping off cupcakes at his place of work. She has many insecurities which I felt for her but she is still a strong character. Will Patrick be able to teach her to trust men especially him? I highly recommend this book to find out if there is a happy ending in their future.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Won’t let you down by Bree Kraemer a five-star read that won’t let you down. This is the eighth book in the Cedarville series they can be read as stand-alone, but I have loved the series and would recommend you read them as such as you will want to go back and read them all. This author has a magical way with words that will transport you from wet and windy Wales to small town America sat at the bar in Dockside having a drink with bunch of strangers who make you feel like family. I will be honest, and Joy wasn’t my favourite character when I first saw her in this series, but seeing her story develop and finding out what made her the woman she is now. It made me realise that she is a much stronger woman than she gives herself credit for and I can’t wait to see her pop up in the future books. The one thing I loved is how you see other characters, old and new pop up and all I can think of is who’s next? Whose story will we find next? I cant wait.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Won’t Let You Down, by Bree Kraemer, is the eighth book in the Cedarville Novel series. This contemporary romance is the story of Joy and Flynn, how their lives overlap and how they each feel about the other. This series is well written and this latest novel is no exception. I really like how the author carries over the characters from previous stories into the others, it creates a full world that is all connected in these unique ways. The dual POV within this story was perfectly written and I loved knowing and learning what each of the main characters were thinking as they interacted with others and each other. This story was full of laughs and the banter was beyond perfect. Joy is certainly one of my favorite heroine characters in regards to her quick comebacks and feedback.

Won’t Let You Down ( A Cedarville Novel Book 8)
By Bree Kraemer
Rated 5 stars!

I was very excited to read this! I love all the previous books and knew I would be stepping back into a favorite place. I wasn’t disappointed. I really want to move to Cedarville. The place of the super hot men and sassy women.

Joy and Flynn’s first meeting wasn’t fantastic but it became memorable to them in different ways. Later Joy doesn’t remember him and and he wants her to remember on her own so he won’t tell her. So even though they both feel this connection. They are not sure how to move forward. So she avoids him and says as little as possible since she is afraid he was a one-nighter. Moving forward when that explanation comes out…prepare yourself for a super ride.

Hot lumberjack bearded Flynn! Haha I laugh when the girls call him that! I love that for Flynn. Gives me a picture in my head of what he looks like! Other than those intense eyes and his determination to get Joy. How thrilled Flynn was when Joy finally said his name! I thought “Wow this guys a goner for sure!” Though I was happy as well. I mean who gets that excited over someone saying your name?? Its because thoughts and comments like these, I was so happy to be inside Flynn’s head. I really enjoyed his thoughts, ideas and of time with his friends.

These two!! I love them together! Their conversations together are so cute! I literally sit with a smile on my face while reading. A favorite couple among this group for me. When together with their friends. It was fun to see all the teasing and good natured bickering between all of them. That really helps bring the past around and the story move forward.

Addison, Leah, Carly and Melanie have all had their stories told and have gotten their happily ever after. While they were a few books ago I still feel this author is consistent in her storytelling. I still get giddy, laugh and and sit smiling while reading this book as I did when reading the earlier ones. I’m glad this author still can keep me interested and waiting for more from these lovely characters.

Although this is book 8 in the series it can be read as a stand alone. For much much more enjoyment you should read them from the first Cedarville story.

Won’t Let You Down by Bree Kraemer is A Cedarville Novel book eight. This book can be read as a stand alone but all the characters from previous books make appearances. I suggest reading the books in order to get the full effect of the novels. This book is Joy and Flynn’s story.

Joy is new in Cedarville trying to start over. She tends to keep to herself and not take many risks, especially love. Joy keeps convincing herself that Flynn is not for her but she can’t figure out why he looks at her that way.

Flynn hopes that Joy will see him. He’s been trying for months and can’t figure out why she ignores him. He’s tired of being alone and totally ready to settle down and he wants that with Joy.

Will Joy be able to set her past aside and see what Flynn is offering?

I absolutely love everything about this series and this book only proved it further. The growth you get to witness from Joy is really great! I love this book as much as I’ve loved every book in this series so far!!

After All These Years (A Cedarville Novel Book 7)After All These Years by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After All These Years by Bree Kraemer is the seventh book in her Cederville series and what a beautiful second chances story it was! I have read all of the other books in the series and yes, you could read the story as a standalone but you’d miss out so much out on the dynamics and subtleties by doing so!
The story is Julia and Wes’ story of second chances … They had been together for four years when teenagers and unfortunately they got into experimenting with drugs and it got out of control! Julia got clean but Wes didn’t and for the sake of staying clean, Julia left Wes … for fourteen years! It is in some ways a very heart-breaking story of how far reaching our mistakes can be – for fourteen long years both Julia and Wes have tried to have other relationships but no one, no one has filled the spot the other had left behind … They both have rebuilt their lives, they both are successful in their own rights and the writer is taking us on a journey of re-discovery … can they forgive and move on? Will their families still be supportive when the old secrets come to light?
I love all of the Centerville stories and I invite you to join us and become friends with all these amazing characters that Bree has introduced to us! Every book she introduces us someone new who ends up getting their own story so I cannot wait for the next Centerville adventure!

Capturing Us (Cedarville #2)Capturing Us by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Capturing Us by Bree Kraemer
4 Stars

This is book two in the Cedarville series. You don’t have to read book one but I would suggest it. You’ll have the back story to this book and book one was excellent. Capturing Us focuses on the relationship between Melanie and Logan. Melanie has been in love with Logan for as long as she can remember. With Logan’s job taking him away from Cedarville for weeks and months at a time, Melanie would suppress her feelings and live her life. She’s had her experiences and went on dates. Now Logan has returned to Cedarville for good and Melanie doesn’t know how to cope with her feelings. They are coming to the surface and she doesn’t know how to hide them anymore.

Ever since Logan found Melanie on the floor after the break in in her house, he realized his feelings are more than just friendship. He doesn’t know what he would have done if she had been seriously hurt. He wouldn’t be able to live without her. He can’t go a day without seeing her. Yet since the break in, Melanie has been acting like she hates him. Logan’s so confused. They finally admit their feelings to each other and embark on a romantic relationship. As in any new relationship, there are trust issues and communication problems. Even though they have been friends forever, these are new issues because they are starting a life together.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are wonderful and the dynamics between them is comforting. They are a close knit group who are there for each other whether they need help or they are making fun of one another. They are funny. This is another book that thrilled me from this author. I’m looking forward to reading more from her.
