      This is more of a 3.5 for me. Lauren Boyd's charming book made me hungry for slice of cake piled high with buttercream. She writes with a wonderful attention to detail that gave life to her narrator, Kate. We see the world through Kate's eyes, noticing the flavors, textures and patterns as she does. Kate, a baker, gets a dream wedding commission for an 8 tier cake -- dreamy until she finds out the groom is the one who got away because she never confessed her feelings for him years ago. Eric is now engaged to Cecilia, who is in charge of everything for the wedding except where they order the cake.

      When Eric reenters Kate's life, it sets off a whirlwind of emotions for both. I like the friends to lovers trope and the playful banter. The friendships feel real and I wish for the sake of the characters (and the author) that I had enjoyed this book more. A style element/editing decision kept pulling me away from the story. Although we are clearly deep in Kate's point of view, her internal thoughts appeared all to frequently in italics. I can understand using this when the character is knowingly lying to themselves, but the frequency of the italics pulled me out of the story rather than further in. That being said, I loved the young adult/women's fiction vibe of this contemporary romance and I look forward to seeing what Boyd does in the future.

      The author provided an ARC of Baking Love to me in exchange for an honest review and I'm grateful to her for this opportunity.

      Baking Love was a really sweet, quick read that left me hungry for more :) (I'm really trying to avoid food puns here, but I can't help it!) The story of Kate and Eric is something I could just see happening and I loved their interactions. So much lovely chemistry. And I loved seeing how Kate pulled off her bakery feats (one word of warning: do not read this book hungry! I found myself seriously craving icing and cake, lol!). The characters felt authentic and the writing was great--overall, this was a really fun read and I totally recommend it!

      Kate Sullivan has taken over her grandmother’s cake business and is doing what she loves. Unfortunately, her new client, Cecilia, is not only picky, but snobby. They definitely don’t start off on the right foot. Luckily the large, expensive wedding cake Kate is asked to make will be well worth working with someone so difficult. When the groom to be comes to the next meeting Kate’s heart flips when she realizes it is her former best friend, Eric, who she had fallen in love with years ago. Now he is back, but marrying someone else. They are thrown back into each other’s lives and is the chemistry still there? Will Kate and Eric be able to be friends? Will Kate’s feelings for Eric resurface? Read this book to find out how everything turns out!

      Baking Love was a fun, sweet read. There were parts of Kate that I could easily relate to, like her passion for her creative outlet (although mine is most definitely not baking). Anyone that has fallen for someone and been too afraid to tell them will be able to connect to Kate’s feelings. I can’t imagine making a wedding cake for someone I had been in love with for years. It was interesting to see the way things played out between Eric and Kate. I liked that throughout the book Kate doesn’t act sneaky nor does she do anything that would make her seem like a bad person. The pacing was great and the writing was easy to read and enjoy. I read the book in one sitting. The author did an excellent job describing the cakes and making me crave sugar! I wasn’t sure what to expect of Baking Love, but it was a fast read and perfect for the beach. If you are in the mood for some love, this book will certainly entertain you.

      *I was given a copy of the book from the author in exchange for my honest review.

      I made the mistake of starting this book in the evening after dinner. When I finished the book, I had a huge smile on my face, except it was 2:00 AM!Kate Sullivan is the baker and owner of Sullivan's Bakery in Hillsboro, N.C. She inherited the bakery and her baking skills from her grandmother who recently passed away. Her assistant is her best friend Jess Turner. Kate, Jess and her fiancé Mark have been friends since high school. There was one other guy in their tight group, who was also Kate's best friend, but after realizing she was in love with him, and before she could tell him, he went back to college and disappeared from her life. She still misses him and it's been three years.Kate is working with a new client who is at the bakery for a wedding cake consultation. She is struck by the woman and her mother's well groomed and New York looks and attitude. After just a few minutes of talking she realizes she has Bridezilla on her hands! " I want my wedding cake to be unlike anything anyone has ever seen. It goes without saying that the decorations should be tasteful, not tacky." Cecelia also wanted eight tiers, a nightmare to assemble, not to mention delivering. The words " Money is no object" makes the deal a little sweeter. When the groom comes to pick his groom's cake, with his fiancé she is shocked and speechless when she sees it is Eric, her best friend and the man she loves. This novel is so much fun to read. Kate is resolved to give this bride and groom the best wedding cake ever, even if it kills her! Kate tries to convince herself she's over Eric, while he seems to be trying to get closer! A little side trip to New York City to pick out Jess's wedding gown ends up being a surprise adventure for Kate.The characters were delightful, although at a few points I wanted to get in Eric's face and yell "Wake Up". The description of the cakes made my mouth water. Ms. Boyd kept me trying to guess what was going to happen, and it was still a surprise! I recommend this novel to everyone who enjoys romance, laughter and a very sweet love story.
