When one begins to write a book, it's easy to get lost in elaborating. Don't get me wrong, it is an important aspect in catching your reader's attention. However, you need to make sure and consider the names of locations within your book. Everything should have meaning behind it.
For instance, the bakery that Sawyer owns is La Boulangerie Foi. Translated from the French it means "The Bakery of Faith." You'll learn that Granny Day, the original owner, came up with the name when she realized she must have faith in herself not to indulge in the pastries she was making. She was also a strong believer in having faith in God because he was the only one to give her enough patience to deal with Sawyer's father.
Bentley's restaurant is Crush. He wants his guests to get butterflies, their pulses to race, and for them to get tongue tied when they experience his food. The food should be just as intense as a "first crush."
All it takes is a deep consideration of names to draw you reader into your world.
