Happily Ever LOL Series by Miles A. Bennett

Ethan never planned on coming back to Maplewood, let alone inheriting his grandmother’s struggling café. The once-beloved Sweet on You feels more like a burden than a blessing—burnt muffins, endless bills, and a town full of watchful eyes ready to compare him to the woman he could never replace. Sarcasm and stubborn pride are his only shields… until the local handyman shows up with a grin too wide and an offer to help he never asked for... moreEthan never planned on coming back to Maplewood, let alone inheriting his grandmother’s struggling café.

Sarcasm and stubborn pride are his only shields… until the local handyman shows up with a grin too wide and an offer to help he never asked for. Caleb has built a life out of fixing things for everyone else, but even he knows not everything can be patched with a hammer and a smile. Still, when it comes to Ethan, he can’t seem to stay away. Sunshine to Ethan’s storm, Caleb finds joy in teasing him, sparking laughter where there’s usually silence, and quietly holding together the cracks Ethan doesn’t want anyone to see. Between small-town gossip, a bake-off that refuses to go as planned, and a festival that tests more than just their patience, Ethan and Caleb discover that the line between friendship and something more is thinner than they ever imagined. But learning to trust again, to lean on someone else, and to believe they deserve love might be the hardest recipe they’ll ever follow. Can two men with opposite outlooks—one hiding behind sarcasm, the other behind a smile—find the courage to build something lasting together? Or will fear and old wounds keep them from the sweetness waiting just within reach? ***.
