This book was so cute!!! It is the perfect little holiday love story!! I loved it so much. I loved the main characters from the very beginning they are so lovable!! This novella is a sweet cute little smutty story, and its actually has some pretty funny parts that had me laughing out loud.
This novella is about a holiday baking competition, Alice is a contestant and Michael is a judge..it's a sweet grumpy sunshine novella where a second bite of Alice's cake cake cake really does seal the deal.
If you are looking for a cute lovey story for the holidays this story is perfect for you. It is also a quick read if you don't have a lot of time and are super busy. You will love it and you won't be ready to say goodbye to Alice and Michael.

“Good girls get sweet things. Naughty girls get it rough. And you’ve been very naughty.”
Do you like books? (Duh) Do you like baking shows? (Who doesn't?) Do you like spicy scenes? (Doesn't everybody?) Then you need to read this!!!
Can I just say, I LOVE this novella? I finished it in under an hour. It hooked me from the first page. It is one of those that I wish I could go back and read again for the first time. Also, can we talk about the cover?
S.J. can do no wrong. Seriously, she could write the phone book and I'd sit there and ooh and ahh and fall in love with it. There is something magical about her writing. It just grabs you and never lets go. Even after you're done reading. You will remember her books months after you read them!
Also, please tell me I am not the only one that fell in love with Mike and his amazing holiday-related sayings! "Holy Holiday Heaven." "Sweet snowballs." "Holy jingle bells." They were just some of my favorites and I need to start using these!
A huge thank you, to SJ and WordSmith Publicity for this ARC. It was the perfect way to get the Christmas season started!

Holiday novella perfection! I ate this book up in a matter of hours and wish I could find a way to go back and read it again for the first time.
S.J. is my absolute favorite author when it comes to instalove. No one writes that trope like her— it’s both believable and feels like a once-in-a lifetime meet cute.
Alice is a contest on a live-streamed holiday baking show with her idol and long-time celebrity crush, Michael. Michael doesn’t want to be doing another one of these shows, but he’s stuck doing it anyways. He’s completely uninterested until Alice. His reaction to her is instant and he knows right then, he’s met his forever.
I can’t even explain to you how good the balance between Michael’s inners thoughts being romantic, dirty, possessive and just this side of too sweet.
I loved every second of this book.
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Cute
This was a cute little baking themed romance. 3 stars doesn’t mean I didn’t like it, I enjoyed it! Insta-love and stuff isn’t my go to in romance. I definitely still recommend for those that enjoy that.

Short insta love story ( if you all about the slow burn then this isn’t the book for you ) very GBBO vibes and how the cooking show brings them together.
It’s a cute quick read and very enjoyable
