I’ve been reading a lot of books recently with different takes on Bachelor-style dating shows, and it was interesting to get the perspective of someone who had been on the show and experienced negative reprecussions from turning down a proposal on the show. Similarly, many owners of NFL teams are men, but the San Diego Knights is owned by a powerful woman of color. It is a group of professional football players who own and run the cupcake bakery, and the young woman who comes to work for them almost burns down the shop. I appreciated that Fake It Till You Bake It turned gender norms on their head. It is clear as you read that they make each other better as romantic partners should. Jada not only comes into her own professionally while working for Sugar Blitz, but she also helps the business develp and grow. Donovon clearly respects and cares for Jada and is willing to stand up for her when she is belittled by her parents. Of course, it was obvious that they would end up in a real relationship, but I truly enjoyed going on the journey with them. I loved the progression of Jada and Donovon’s relationship. It is a quick and easy read that had me smiling throughout the book. We all know how much I love romances set around food, and Fake It Till You Bake It is no exception. Fake it Till You Bake It is a sweet confection of a novel, the perfect story to curl up with and enjoy with a cupcake on the side.

Faking a relationship should be simple, but sometimes love is the most unexpected ingredient.

When a reporter mistakenly believes Jada and Donovan are an item, they realize they can use the misunderstanding to their advantage to help the struggling bakery and rehabilitate Jada’s image. When she comes home to lick her wounds, Jada finds herself working at San Diego’s newest cupcake bakery, Sugar Blitz, alongside the uptight owner and professional football player Donovan Dell. Jada Townsend-Matthews is the most reviled woman in America after turning down a proposal on a reality dating show.
