About this listen

The Fairy Tale Cupcakes crew helps two professional football players in knead when the athletes are accused of murder and their dream of opening a bakery is crushed.

Professional football players Keogh Graham and Tyler Matthews want to open a Fairy Tale Cupcakes Bakery franchise. They're spending the off-season in Scottsdale working in Mel’s bakery, learning about the business and how to bake show-stopping cupcakes. The popular athletes bring a boom of customers to the store as football fans flock to see the brothers at work, mixing batter and piping icing.

Everyone's excited the athletes are pursuing their dream of owning a bakery—except for those who fear the players will ditch football for fondant and retire early from professional sports. The angry naysayers include their team owner, sports agent, and publicist, along with some very vocal fans.

When the owner of their team, the Arizona Scorpions, is found dead on the floor of their new bakery following an argument with Keogh, Keogh and Tyler become prime suspects. As the investigation heats up, Mel and the rest of the cupcake bakery crew must step up and prove their franchise owners are innocent before it's game-over for the new bakers.

Where is Susan Boyce?

Hilary did a fantastic job, but Susan Boyce has been the voice of Mel and Angie for long it me a couple of chapters to adapt. I love this series and I can’t wait for the next one!

New narrator not as good.

It’s not the same with a new narrator. The story was good but hard to listen to.

Still one of my favorite series!

Jenn McKinlay never disappoints with this series and her latest is no exception. I was glued to my phone like a crazy person, trying to figure out who dun it! Always a bit of a twist at the end. Fabulous listen for sure!

great characters and interesting story

This has been a really entertaining series. I love baking so it was wonderful to have recipes in this book. Either I am losing it or the narrator was different. I liked th err other one better. Sorry I don't know their names. Shame on me. The narration was really very well done just different.

Who are these strangers?!?

I feel like I’ve lost old friends I’ve been waiting to hear their voices and they sound like strangers. Marty’s funny voice-GONE! Ray’s NY accent–GONE! Ang, Me,Tate, Joe, Oz, Uncle Stan–all GONE. In their place? Bland voices.

Loved the Story

I hope to meet some of these characters again. I loved their personalities and how seamlessly they fit with the regular crew. While Alluson Brock did a great job narrating, I have to admit that my mind kept thinking of Lindsey in the Briarcreek series.

Bring back Susan Boyce!!!

I love the story, but it felt like all my old friends & characters had been replaced with the Great Value versions! The narrator made everyone sound like they had a perpetual cold & the characters felt so disconnected!
