KC Enders latest release is set in the universe of 425 Madison, a collection of stories tied together by an apartment tower in New York City. I received an ARC of the story, in exchange for my comments and a review. I have to say that I feel a bit conflicted about how to approach this - I am a fan of Karin's work and I consider her a friend. However, the quality of the editing in the ARC was...disappointing.

The story is very appropriately named; it's a short, sweet story that just tugs at the emotions and makes you smile. The heroine is an enthusiastic, talented baker who has been burned in the past. The hero is a single dad dealing with a selfish ex and his own discomfort in a big city. Living on the same floor of 425 Madison, they are continually thrown together by a temperamental smoke alarm.

Normally, I'd happily give this story three and half or four stars. Unfortunately, the editing in the ARC is subpar; there are punctuation problems, homophone errors, etc. These are all a normal part of the writing process, but should be dealt with in the edits. As a friend, I sent her some notes about the worst of the mistakes that I hope was helpful. The characters and the plot deserve a better presentation than the publishing company allowed to go through to the ARC. However, I'm hopeful that the final release will be better and allow the charm of the story to shine through, so with fingers crossed, I'm giving it four stars. ( )
