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

Say When is the ninth book in Bree Kraemer’s fantastic Cedarville series! I have read the whole series as I fell in love with it from book one! I love the small town set up and how a group of friends keeps growing and embraces newcomers and every time I finish a story I wish I could move there!
Say When is the story of Danielle “Dani” and “Pat” Patrick. We met Dani in Wes and Julia’s book, she is that shy baker who created those amazing desserts. We also met Patrick who was hired by Wes as a chef to work in his Dockside restaurant. Dani and Patrick go back long way – Patrick’s sister was one of Dani’s best friends and she had such a crush on Patrick when she was thirteen ….
Patrick has some work he needs to do to get Dani out of her shell! “No more barely living. No more fear.” These two take us on a sweet ride! I like how Bree gives us those sweet stories where we are not overwhelmed by angst and actually drowns us in romance! And do not forget about the good laugh we get as well!
I hope that the writer is not yet done with this charming small town with all those great people and we will get some more Cedarville stories!

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.

Say When – Bree Kraemer

5-stars

“Love doesn’t follow a timeline or schedule. It happens when it happens and you either recognize it, leaping in with both feet or you don’t and miss out on something amazing.”

Say When is my favourite book in Bree Kraemer’s Cedarville series. This is the 9th book in the must-read romance series and it follows Dani and Patrick along with appearances from my other favourite Cedarville couples! Though this book can be read as a standalone I would suggest reading the other books first as the characters that make appearances in Say When have their very own touching romance stories as well that are also worth a read!

This book was my favourite of this series due to the fact that it had everything I hope for in a romance read, a couple with amazing chemistry, steamy scenes, a build of emotions and of course a happily ever after. I loved how quickly I was able to connect with these characters and follow along their journey, I was saddened when I reached the end but I’m hoping to read more about Dani and Patrick in books to come!

This is a book and series I would recommend to anyone looking for their next romance read!

Say When (A Cedarville Novel Book 9)Say When by Bree Kraemer
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.

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

Say When is the ninth novel in the Cedarville series by Bree Kraemer. This is my seventh novel by this author.

Dani is a baker who has an issue with talking to guys who age. She starts to mumble and run away. She also delivers cupcakes and pies early in the morning to Wes’ restaurant. She dreams of owning her own bakery.

Patrick is the brother of her best friend from high school and the two meet again years later at the restaurant. Patrick realizes the cupcakes he has been eating for years are made by Dani.

To overcome her fear and anxiety, Patrick offers to help her by just being her friend and helping her get comfortable with just conversation. Over time he find himself falling for her and worries that he isn’t good enough for her.

Dani feels an attraction to Patrick but doesn’t want to mess up the friendship they have and keeps telling herself they are just friends

Another installment of an amazing series that I can’t get enough of.

I really liked Dani and related to her cause I just became that way myself. Not because of any bad experience just started to isolate myself and developed anxiety talking to people over time. So I understood her anxiety when it came to talking to guys. I loved the decision where she made the decision to change herself because she wanted to normal and be able to talk in a social setting.

Patrick I liked and felt he could admit when he was wrong and apologize to make things right.

I really hope we get book with Sabrina. I would love to see who she falls in with and how she interacts with them.

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

Say When is the ninth (yes, ninth!) instalment of the truly wonderful Cedarville series. One again, we are transported to the beautiful lakeside setting which has become so familiar to fans of this series. This instalment does not disappoint, as were introduced to a new couple that immediately grabbed my heart. This is one read not to be missed!

I have to start this review by admitting that I am a superfan of this series. I absolutely love the world that the author has created and it holds a very dear place in my heart. So as soon as a new book is released, I am immediately anticipating finding the time to sit and really enjoy it. Cue a nice cup of team, some chocolate cookies and a cosy blanket; time to read!

Say When had me hooked after the very first page. Immediately jumping into the wonderful world of baking had my mouth-watering; luckily I had the cookies! Dani is such an endearing character and I felt myself warming to her straight away. I love her innocence, which I think makes her such a strong character and so interesting to read. She has a lot of fears and learning about these over the course of the story allowed us to see why her and Patrick have such an intense connection. As for Patrick… what a cutie! He is such an equally interesting character who I couldn’t wait to find out more about. We learn about him more slowly than Dani, with the main focus of the story being her getting over her fears, but that just makes him so much more intriguing; who doesn’t love a mysterious man?! Seeing them together is so much fun and, let’s be honest, super hot. There are some steamy moments in this book, which are sure to get you feeling a little hot. All I’ll say is, lucky Dani!

I don’t think I will ever stop loving this series or this author’s work. Every single book in this series is beautifully written, packed with wonderful characters and has an intriguing and exciting plot. Ultimately, this series is about love and the connection that develops between two people, and Say When perfectly portrays this. If you haven’t already, I cannot encourage you enough to start reading this series. By the time you get to Dani and Patrick’s story, you’ll be as hooked as I am!

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.

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 Is the ninth book in the Cedarville novel series by Bree Kraemer. Even though it is the ninth book in the series, it can be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing vital information or leaving you confused. I love the fact that each book in the Cedarville ‘family’ focuses on a particular couple- but there are recurring characters, who we have met previously, who make appearances, which really gives this book a charming quality. I really enjoy Ms. Kraemer’s writing- she always weaves a wonderful story that entices me in and keeps hold of me right through to the end. This series just seems to get better with each new instalment, not losing momentum or appeal. The characters are so well crafted that they bring the whole story to life. This is definitely one of my favourites of the series, and I really wanted to hang out with them and eat cupcakes ?.
Dani, who we have met previously, as she bakes the desserts for Wes’s restaurant “Dockside” (After All These Years- Book #7) is so quiet, introverted and chronically shy that it has held her back from truly living and following her dreams. This fear has almost taken over her life, and Dani will have to learn to face her fears and overcome them in order to have a ‘real’ life. She’s passionate about baking and always has been- she’s an extremely talented baker who creates incredibly delicious morsels. The very same morsels that a certain chef at “Dockside” can’t seem to get enough of, devouring the tasty sweets daily. What happens when he finally meets the shy baker? Find out in this super sweet story….

Thank you, Ms. Kraemer!

Bree Kraemer’s Say When is the ninth book in the Cedarville series. This contemporary romance continues the amazing series the author has created. Say When is Dani and Patrick’s story, certainly one of my favorites that I have read. The sweet factory of this story cannot be denied, especially when there is a bakery involved. Change is a theme in this story which features old and new characters. How these characters interact was fun to read, even how they struggle to find their footings and grow at times. Even though there are limited pages in this story, it was a pleasurable read and a great addition to the series.

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.

5 Stars

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.
