Synopsis:
Aubrey Choi loves living in her small town nestled in the foothills of California, running her highly successful bakery away from the watch of her strict Korean parents. When a cake mix-up and a harsh review threaten all of her hard work and her livelihood, she never thought the jaded food critic would turn out to be her one-night stand. And she sure as hell never thought she’d see her gorgeous Korean unicorn again. But when Landon Kim waltzes into her bakery trying to clean up the mess he had a huge hand in making, Aubrey is torn between throwing and hearing him out.
When she hears his plan to help save her business, Aubrey knows that spending three weeks in California wine country working with Landon is a sure recipe for disaster. Her head is telling her to take the chance to save her bakery while her heart—and her hormones—are at war on whether to give him a second chance. And it just so happens that Landon’s meddling friends want them to spend those three weeks as close as possible…by sharing a villa.
When things start heating up, both in and out of the kitchen, Aubrey will have to make a choice—to stick it out or risk her heart.
Review:
This is such a sweet, quick romance with plenty of will they/ won’t they vibes. The tension and chemistry in this book is insane. But more importantly, let’s talk about the baking! I’m an absolute sucker for any stories revolving around bakers and really just want to try all the amazing things Aubrey made.
Aubrey and Landon were both great characters, but Landon got under my skin at times. I just felt like he was making things so much harder than they needed to be. And the side characters deserve a whole story of their own!
I definitely enjoyed this one and would definitely recommend giving it a read!
