“Sweet Baklava” is a light Christian romance with a strong Greek flavor. Although it follows the age-old romance formula for the basic story, it has enough local color from the Greek community in Tarpon Springs, Fla., to spice it up and make it a good read. If you like romances written from a Christian perspective, this book is a winner.
Unlike most romance novels, “Sweet Baklava” has something for the guys, too. The author has included 20 recipes for Greek dishes, many of which are mentioned in the book such as baklava and spanakopita.
It’s worth the price of the book just to get the recipes — and the book is a nice bonus.
