Description
An offbeat lesbian romantic comedy starring penguins, plotting, and payback.
Muffin maker Olivia Roberts has had it with her awful exes taking advantage of her good nature. The theft of her nana’s beloved stuffed penguin is the absolute last straw.
She puts up an ad at her local crime bookstore for a henchperson to help her enact a little mild revenge. To her astonishment, Margaret Blackwood, the mysterious, icy, and annoyingly opinionated bookstore owner, applies.
For two clever, capable women, they turn out to be woeful at vengeance. But much to their dismay, they discover they’re pretty good at falling in love!

I admit that I often think, “ok, that’s my absolute favorite book by this author,” and then bam – she just writes another one!
However, it is clear to me that,
Dr Margarete Blackwood has stolen my heart! I’m rarely so fascinated by an Ice Queen character.
However, she is perfection!
Dry, sarcastic humor paired with what I consider to be an extremely attractive appearance. Hopelessly in love.
Of course she is also solitary, withdrawn, judgmental and seemingly against the world and its people.
Although she owns a bookstore and you would actually think that there would be some interaction with people.
Olivia definitely asks herself this question.
Sweet Olivia with the sunny, warm, open personality is the complete opposite of
Dr Blackwood and also a little annoyed by the invisible, but not inaudible interruptions at the book club for example.
That’s the highest level of human interaction for Dr Blackwood, even if not personally present, but always presumptuous.
Much to Olivia’s chagrin!
Well, or so it seems…Olivia’s plan of vengeance brings these two together and it’s one of the funniest things I’ve read in a long time!
It’s also nerve-wracking and sometimes unbelievable what poor Olivia had to endure in her past. However, she doesn’t seem to be alone in this.
I was very touched, amused and definitely entertained!
Thank you Lee Winter for this gem 💎!

Henriette – :
Brilliant, quirky romcom set in Australia
This was a total blast to read. Lee Winter tries her hand at a romcom and the word try is actually totally wrong: she so rocks it. And it would not be a book by Lee Winter if not for some sprinkles of deeper thoughts all along with a penguin, a peacock, female outlaws, popular muffins and a big dose of humor. All of those ingredients add up to a most excellent and wonderfully entertaining read. One of those very rare reads my wife (and I as well) loves because I chuckle along or laugh out loud and she can send me amused and knowing looks.
I really really loved the down-to-earth Olivia baking her muffins, leading her bookclub of wonderful down-to-earth quirky people. She is total sunshine who finally – halleluja – is fed up by being trodden on by her exes and seeks revenge with the support of her henchperson, Margaret. Oh Margaret, reclusive, mysterious, grumpy Margaret. A masterful character if there ever was one. And those entries in her diary – pure reading gold.
If I rave on I might give away too much. So have a look for yourself – and enjoy.
Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. The review is left voluntarily.

One of the best books I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Lee Winter does it again and so brilliantly.
Sabrina (verified owner) – :
just finished it and I really couldn’t get enough of it! I enjoyed it so much and I really really really loved to read it, there is really not one book from Lee Winter that I don’t enjoy and it’s also really hard to choose a book from her as a favorite its like freaking impossible soo thank you again for such a great book.

So many LOL moments in this little beauty! I had a little moment when a certain icy cellist made a guest appearance 🙂 The whole Aussie bushrangers narrative running in the background was quintessentially Aussie and Melbourne is a great setting for a steamy romantic book with a scholarly bent. Lee Winter’s wit shines through, and of course, so does her writing talent and depth of knowledge. I am proud of myself for actually ‘reading’ a work of fiction and what a book to break this worrying drought. Loved the nod to some of the books Margaret was reading. Didn’t know that Inga Simpson had written a dystopian book! Five stars from me and definitely a favourite!
Jens – :
This is a bizarre, sometimes bubbly, sometimes weird love story between a former-librarian-turned-bookstore-owner and a muffin baker. Tasty baked goods and books–what could go wrong, right? Turns out, nothing. An utterly funny, never boring, fast paced novel. There are evil exes, henchmen (or better, henchpeople), puns so bad that they are hilarious, and taxidermied birds!
“The soul of a reader should never be starved.” Thus, a book club “with the worst book opinions ever” provides brilliant entry points into Australian crime fiction and into the history of the Australian bushrangers. Get ready for Mary Ann Bugg!
If you like books about books: This is not one of the variety with invented books and book reviews or excerpts (which gets usually old very rapidly). All the books (and even the JALIA articles) are real and can be found on the internet. Just do not try to find “Why Bushranger Mary Ann Bugg Is Better Than Buckethead. Subtitle: Ned Kelly’s An Overrated Son of A Bitch”. Google will not turn up anything for that one, parental filters or not.
Also, there are one or more Easter-eggs hidden.
In summary, I cannot say anything else than: Extremely funny (even the sex scenes!)–read!
