Publisher's Summary
LGBTQ Reads: Most Anticipated Adult LGBTQAP Fiction 2021
We Are Bookish: Spring Releases to Have on Your Radar
A delicious romantic comedy by the best-selling author of Boyfriend Material, perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston, Christina Lauren and Abby Jimenez.
As an expert baker, Rosaline Palmer is a big believer in always following the recipe. She's lived her life by that rule - well, except for when she dropped out of college to raise her daughter, Amelie. Now, with a paycheck as useful as greaseproof paper and a house crumbling faster than biscuits in tea, she's teetering on the edge of financial disaster. But where there's a whisk there's a way...and Rosaline has just landed a spot on the nation's most beloved baking show.
Winning the prize money would give her daughter the life she deserves, but more than collapsing trifles stand between Rosaline and sweet, sweet victory. Suave, well-educated and parent-approved Alain Pope knows all the right moves to sweep her off her feet, but it's shy electrician Harry Dobson who makes Rosaline question her long-held beliefs - about herself, her family and her desires.
Rosaline fears falling for Harry is a recipe for disaster. Yet as the competition - and the ovens - heat up, Rosaline starts to realize the best quality bakes come from the heart....
Critic Reviews
"A dizzyingly talented writer." (Entertainment Weekly)
"Joyfully queer, absurdly funny and swoonily romantic." (K .J. Charles)
"Brilliance on every single page." (Christina Lauren)
"The writing is witty, and [the] chemistry is irresistible, but it's Hall's insights about trust and self-worth that set the story apart. This is a triumph." (Publishers Weekly)
"A tasty tale that most Bake Off fans could get their teeth into." (Sunday Post)

Fabulous!
Loved it! Excellent writing, characters that jump right off the proverbial page, and one of those narrators that really knows how to immerse you in the story.

Fun and charming
This is an enjoyable listen - a perfect intersection of interests if you love romantic comedies and The Great British Bake Off. The posh narration was startling for the first chapter, but after that I was on board. All the character voices are really well done.

A new favourite!
The amazing narration absolutely made this book shine and kept me sniggering and snorting and in stitches. It was hilarious. Top voice acting of the various "fruity" and colourful cast... and by this, I'm talking about the colourful language of some.
I very much enjoyed this story of personal growth and discovery, with an eventual romance and HEA, some steam as a bonus.
I need this as a movie - someone get on that!
