About the Book

Kat inspected rows of the same old cupcakes. They seemed to blink back at her, as if they knew she was capable of so much more.

Kat Varland has had enough of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry.

At twenty-six years old, Kat is still living in the shadows of her family in Bayou Bend, Louisiana. Still working shifts at her Aunt Maggie s bakery. Still wondering what to do with her passion for baking and her business degree. And still single.

But when Lucas Brannen, Kat s best friend, signs her up for a reality TV bake-off on Cupcake Combat, everything Kat ever wanted is suddenly dangled in front of her: creative license as a baker, recognition as a visionary . . . and a job at a famous bakery in New York.

As the competition heats up, Lucas realizes he might have made a huge mistake. As much as he wants the best for Kat, the only thing he wants for himself her is suddenly in danger of slipping away.

The bright lights of reality cooking wars and the chance at a successful career dazzle Kat s senses and Lucas is faced with a difficult choice: help his friend achieve her dreams . . . or sabotage her chances to keep her in Louisiana. (Goodreads)


My Review

I enjoy reading about friends who end up falling in love because that is what happened to me. This book has a cute idea with cupcakes, a contest, and a nice guy. That being said this book didn't draw me in at all. Lucas and Kat are funny together at times, but this story has been written many times before. I could have guessed the entire story line by reading the back cover. There are no surprises and it does end like you think it will. The contest part is interesting but the relationship part seemed to drag out and was a bit irritating to read. This isn't a bad book, I just wanted something deeper.
If you want a light fluffy romance story you will enjoy.
