A Legend in the Baking by Jamie Wesley, book two in the Fake It Till You Bake series, is a heartwarming second chance romance about regrets and memories.
Sloane Dell, a social media manager, just quit her job after the failure to receive the recognition she deserved; turning to her brother, football player, and part-owner of Sugar Blitz bakery, Donovan, for much needed advice. Visiting the bakery isn't high on Sloane's list of things to do because she knows she will run into August Hodges. Sloane fell hard for her brother’s best friend the moment she met him more than a decade ago, but that teenage infatuation cost her dearly. She accepts her brother’s request to revamp the bakery’s social media presence to take advantage of August’s newfound popularity; knowing it’s the big break her new career needs. She’ll just ignore the fact that August is still attractive and sweeter than any man has a right to be; despite driving her crazy by resisting all her ideas.
They promise to leave the past in the past; although the chemistry still sparks between them. When an intense make-out session makes it clear their attraction sizzles hotter than ever, Sloane and August are forced to reconsider what it means to take a risk and chase your dreams. As they’re both about to find out, all’s fair in love and cupcakes.

Cute book. I love a quiet brooding MMC so August was very adorable and likable to me. It’s a bit of a slow burn which I did not expect but it still kept me invested till the end. But I need a book about Nicholas because the only thing I like more than the brooding male lead is the reformed playboy and there aren’t even any teasers for the release of the last book!!😭

This book was a bit predictable but still enjoyable. I love that the main characters had something other than their love life to work on.
