The Love, Lies and Lemon Cake series pairs two of Sue Watson’s romantic comedies, connected by their titles, their baking themes, and their focus on women starting over. Love, Lies and Lemon Cake (2014) follows a woman who discovers that baking is both a creative outlet and a path to a new chapter in her life. Love, Lies and Wedding Cake (2018) returns to similar territory with its own story of love and reinvention.
Both books are typical of Watson’s pre-thriller period: warm, funny, and centered on food and relationships. They fit alongside her Ice-Cream Cafe books and other early standalones as comfortable reads that do not demand much from the reader but deliver on their promise of entertainment. The four-year gap between the two titles suggests Watson returned to the concept when the right story presented itself rather than writing them as a planned pair.
