Book Review – ‘A Legend in the Baking’ by Jamie Wesley

Synopsis

August Hodges was supposed to be the silent partner in Sugar Blitz Cupcakes. Emphasis on silent. That is until his impromptu feminist rant about how women bakers are the backbone of the industry and baking cupcakes isn’t a threat to masculinity goes viral, making him the hottest bachelor in town. With a new location in the works, August and his partners decide to capitalize on this perfect opportunity to help cement their place in the community. But the hiring of his best friend’s younger sister, the woman who has haunted some of his best dreams for years, was as much of a shock as his new-found fame.

Social media manager Sloane Dell fell hard for her brother’s best friend the moment she met him more than a decade ago, but that teenage infatuation cost her dearly. Still, she accepts her brother’s request to revamp the bakery’s social media presence to take advantage of August’s newfound popularity, knowing it’s the big break her fledgling career needs. She’ll just ignore the fact that August is still August, i.e. sexier and sweeter than any man has a right to be. And that he drives her crazy with his resistance to all her ideas.

They vow to leave the past in the past. But when an explosive make-out session makes it clear their attraction burns hotter than ever, Sloane and August are forced to reconsider what it means to take a risk and chase your dreams.

As they’re both about to find out, all’s fair in love and cupcakes.

My Thoughts

A Legend In The Baking was the first Jamie Wesley book I read. This is the second book in the Fake It Till You Bake It series, and I have to say I am now a huge fan of Jamie Wesley. I need to pick up the first book right away.

Right from the start she is making the connection between August and Sloane one that has been there for years.  Throughout the book, you learn the history of this relationship.  While it’s not a pretty one, it ends with a very happily ever after.  I thought this book wouldn’t be spicy, but boy, was I wrong.  When the spice kicked in it came with a kick.

A Legend In The Baking is a book that will have you laughing and tugging at your heartstrings and then needing a cold drink to cool down.  This book has everything you need and that is why I am giving it 4 stars.  The Spice Level for this book is a 3.
