I loved Legends & Lattes, but honestly... I think this might be the better book. It feels like a more refined work than Legends; this is borne out by the knowledge that Legends and Lattes was written in a month, while Bookshops took much longer to produce. The author's experience shows; the rough edges are rounded off a bit in this one.
It's not a perfect book by any means; it sometimes feels like a re-tread of the first book, and the romance is there but surprisingly chaste, almost to a fault.
Regardless, the characters were all charming and the whole book is so warm. Travis has knocked out of of the park again, if you liked Lattes, you'll like Bonedust; if you were on the fence about Lattes, maybe give this a try. It's leaner, but has just as much heart.
