Publisher's summary
What do you do when you've got a degree in French and absolutely no job prospects? Of course, you slide into your favorite French bakery for a café crème!
When a lighthearted conversation with the manager of the local patisserie turns into a job offer, Lexi Stuart gladly accepts. She indulges in tasty pastries and wins over skeptical coworkers, but the glamour is minimal, and the pay is less than generous.
Trouble by the handful is stirred into her life as she juggles the flirtatious baker she has her eye on and a handsome young executive who likes Lexi even more than her Napoleons.
As she folds together dilemma and delight, Lexi learns that trying to fulfill everyone else's expectations is not satisfying. Instead, she must risk everything safe and comfortable to find out if the dream is within her reach.
Download and devour this delicious series, sugared with romance and fun and spiced with a lightly Christian worldview. Bon Appétit!

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish.

What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

Asher Donovan is a living legend—the darling of the Premier League, the (arguably) greatest footballer in the world. But his reckless antics and recent team transfer have caused much controversy, and when his feud with his rival-turned-teammate costs them a championship, they’re forced to “bond” during off-season cross-training. Surviving the summer shouldn’t be hard…until Asher meets their new trainer. She’s beautiful, talented, and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t take his mind off her.

Ooh La La!
Every time I pick up Let Them Eat Cake by Sandra Byrd, I am not disappointed. The audiobook is no different. The narrator, Sophie Amoss, is as refreshing as the main character, Lexi Stuart. I love following her journey of getting to know herself and finding her faith along with the peak the world of French baking. Let Them Eat Cake is definitely a comfort book as sweet as mille-feuille.
I received copy of this audiobook free from the author in an exchange for an honest review.

A Wonderful Story & Recipes!
This was my first venture into Audible books. I enjoyed everything about this book. Lexi Stuart is trying to figure out her life. She needs a job, an apartment and a boyfriend wouldn’t hurt. She gets a job in a French Bakery. I love that Sandra Byrd adds the recipes to the culinary delights, that Lexi makes. Lexi struggles, just like we all do. I can relate to her desire for a deeper relationship with God.
I love this book. The narrator does a wonderful job of keeping you engaged. I am looking forward to the next 2 books in this series!

Inspiring
An inspiring audiobook that I enjoyed.
Lexi’s story is sometimes fun and sometimes serious. She tries to be truthful with herself but she does have this little nagging voice in her ear giving her a hard time. Can she turn that around and have the right voice speaking to her if she tries?
Her dad, mom and a few friends have her back but she learns some lessons the hard way. She realizes she will have to grow up and take responsibility for herself. When she gets the job at this French bakery she thought maybe this was a place she could move up and make more money. After all she did have a college degree and spoke French. I loved that she enjoyed cooking and that led to several recipes in the book. I also enjoyed the lovely French language even though I don’t know any French.
I recommend this Contemporary Christian audiobook.
I received a copy of this book from the author but was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
