Publisher's summary
Tristan Green left his small English town for Manhattan and a job at a high-profile ad agency, but can't seem to find his bearings. He spends a lot of time working late at night, eating and sleeping alone, and even more time meandering around his neighborhood staring into the darkened windows of shops. One night when he's feeling really low, he wanders by a beautiful little bakery with the lights still on. The baker invites him in, and sometime during that night Tristan realizes it's the first time he's really smiled in months.
Henry Livingston has always been the odd duck, the black sheep, the baker in an old money family where pedigree is everything and quirky personalities are hidden behind dry martinis and thick Upper East Side townhouse facades. Henry is drawn to Tristan's easy country charm, dry English wit, and everything that is so different from Henry's world.
Their new romance is all buttercream frosting and sugared violets until Tristan's need to fit in at work makes him do something he desperately wishes he could undo. Tristan has to prove to Henry that he can be trusted again before they can indulge in the sweet stuff they're both craving.

Story
Alicia Ramirez has always loved baking. Her family owns Say It with Flour, the small bakery in town. And Ali's specialties are cake pops: delicious confections on a stick. But Ali's sweet life turns sour when a sleek coffee shop opens across the street, giving her bakery a run for its money. Worst of all, the owner's son, Dane McGuire, likes to bake, too. He's the new kid in Ali's school...and happens to be annoyingly cute. When Dane and Ali engage in a bake-off to prove who is the cake-pop master, it's Ali's chance to save Say It with Flour. But will she be able to rise to occasion?

I touched her confectionary creation, and she told me off. Slapping my hands and cursing in her own unique fashion. No one talked to me that way. I liked it. I liked her cake even more. So, I took her to Italy to bake for me. I should have asked her first, but I had a feeling she'd say no. But I brought her cat, so that should count for something.

When Blair Beaufort literally crashes into Bellamy Creek wearing a ball gown and a tiara, I should have towed her car, said goodnight, and sent her packing. I’m a mechanic, not a hotel manager. I've got enough on my plate trying to keep my shop from going under, my overbearing mother off my back, and my baseball team in contention for the league championship. I don’t have time for a former debutante with zero street smarts and a cash flow problem, even if she is crazy beautiful. But I know better than to think it can last. She wants a fairy tale, and I’m no prince.

Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990 - and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before.

For Lila Reyes, a summer in England was never part of the plan. But then the Trifecta happened, and everything—including Lila herself—fell apart. Worried about Lila’s mental health, her parents make a new plan for her: Spend three months with family friends in Winchester, England, to reset. But with the lack of sun, a grumpy inn cook, and a small town lacking Miami flavor (in food and otherwise), what would be a dream trip for some feels more like a nightmare to Lila…until she meets Orion Maxwell. It isn’t long before Lila is not only charmed by Orion, but England itself.

Story
Sometimes the journey home is its own reward. Once upon a time, Rick Sullivan had a promising future. One of Jewell Cove's star athletes and reigning heartthrobs, he joined the Marines and had the world in the palm of his hand - until it all came crashing down. His honorable discharge doesn't make him the hometown hero everyone wants him to be, and there's little reprieve from the demons that haunt him at night. Still, even though it seems that all hope is gone, fate has something else in store.

The story was OK but narration was painful to listen too. The reading was choppy and the voices were grating shrilly.

Okay story bad narration
Henry is a laid back baker who comes from money but wants a different life for himself and Tristan is a rather uptight Englishman who had to work for his money but who hates his job and where he’s at in life. They meet over sweets and start a slow burn romance. Tristan eventually knows who Henry is but it’s Henry that wins Tristan over, not his money.
Tristan knows it’s getting serious when Henry takes him home to meet his very rich family. Henry knows that since Tristan can’t “do” anything for his family they won’t approve, but he’s fallen in love and he doesn’t care. Of course this lands Tristan in a spot at work where “he just can’t say no” and it all goes south.
Henry finds out and there is a BIG MISUNDERSTANDING and… eventually it works out for a lovely (if rushed) HFN/HEA.
**
There are parts of this book that really worked for me and parts that didn’t (and if I hadn’t read the story first I would be really mad if I’d only had the audiobook to experience.)
I loved that it was two quiet/nerdy guys. The love between these guys develops slowly and sweetly – like the recipes in the book – and it’s a nice gentle “getting to know you” kind of romance. There’s not a lot of steam, but lots of feels and a low hum of sexual tension. In fact it took til 33% in for them to kiss and 75% for them to have sex… but it works. At this point I was expecting a lovely little crest into eternal happiness but that doesn’t happen. Instead…
BAM – there’s this BIG MISUNDERSTANDING and then they’re broken up. (The misunderstanding is really silly and one of those things where if they just talked to each other it would have been nothing, and since they love each other already, it seems like they would have no problem discussing things.) Of course they eventually get back together again but it was a very rushed ending and left a bad taste in my mouth.
I get that there needed to be a little “something” here at the end to give it a climactic finish, but this didn’t seem to fit the rest of the story. I think there was plenty of stuff just between Henry and his family to give enough “friction” that this misunderstanding didn’t need to happen.
Audio
So – I had these rather mixed feelings about the story before I had the opportunity to listen to it. Sometimes I’m won over by an audiobook in a way that makes it even better than reading the book – a good narration can do that. This is not the case here. This is a terrible narration. Seriously.
John-Paul Barrel’s reading voice here is monotonous, nasal and flat and his English accent is horrible.
I’m sorry to say that I cannot recommend this narration at all. I love the two authors and I thought the story was good, I’ve listened to this narrator before do a fair job but this narration doesn’t work on any level.
I hate to do it but I give this 2 of 5 stars for the narration. (I’d give the story 3.5 of 5 stars, but the narration is just not good.)
