Fairy Cakes In Winter


Small side-quest by reading "Fairy Cakes In Winter" by Lane Hayes.

["A grumpy baker, a quirky ad man, and a recipe for forever…

Scott
So this cute guy sits next to me on the plane and proceeds to talk my ear off for hours. Not good. I don’t like talking and I don’t like strangers. But Theo’s sweet, smart, and sexy—the perfect distraction from business woes and personal worries.
Okay, things got overly friendly, but we’re adults and we know the score. I’m too old, he’s too nice, and we live on different continents.
Then, out of the blue, he shows up at my bakery with that pretty smile and a list of wacky marketing ideas—like how to make fairy cakes a thing.
I don’t like fairy cakes.
But I do like Theo, so…maybe?

Theo
The new me takes risks. The new me is brave and confident. The new me flirts with hunky, imposing bears on planes while traveling to a foreign country.
It’s going well, thank you.
However, my plans to do some sightseeing, drink tea, and eat my weight in biscuits every day get derailed when I realize there might be a way to help Scott and prove a few things to myself.
Don’t worry. I won’t fall for the grumpy baker. No way. He’s complicated and broody and—
Uh oh…it might be too late. Help!
"]

I was tired and needed something a little shorter than a full-length book. This grumpy vs. sunshine, age-gap story featuring vacation and desserts was just wanted I needed.

Like, this book was sooooo sweet (dessert pun not intended). It was fluffy as fuck and yet soooo freaking spicy. It was a perfect mix of the two, just like Scott and Theo. I was crying at the "goodbye" and sobbing at the reunion (don't be shocked; it's a HEA after all). SO freaking good!!! Adding Lane to my authors-to-binge list.

And now I want a fairy cake...
