Just One Bread: Great Romance Novels Set in Bakeries

This romance takes the cake! If a unicorn opened a bakery, it would look like Sylvie Fairchild’s shop. She creates colorful confections that capture the eye and the imagination. Her new bakery is basically the exact opposite of Dominic De Vere’s shop across the street. He is all about tradition and subtlety when it comes to baking. Which is why he voted her off the reality baking show Operation Cake four years ago. So far, they’ve mostly avoided each other despite being neighbors. But then Sylvie is asked to come back to the show as a judge, and they learn they are both in the running to make the cake for the royal wedding of the decade. Working together stirs up some delicious feelings between them, but will their rivals-to-lovers romance prove to be a recipe for disaster?

And speaking of reality shows and getting some sugar: After a disastrous appearance on a reality dating show, Jada Townsend-Matthews returns home to San Diego to lay low. She takes a job at a new cupcake bakery, Sugar Blitz, where she has to contend with its grumpy but handsome owner, professional football player Donovan Dell. A job’s a job, as far as Jada’s concerned, but when a reporter mistakenly believes that Jada and Donovan are dating, she smells opportunity. A bakery romance between the two famous figures will help sales and Jada’s public image. But how long can they pretend to be into each other before their relationship catches fire away from the cameras?
