“If there was another man, he’s done now.  He let her out, let her cross my path, and that’s his own fault.”

This is so cute!! And the holiday sayings have me rolling!!  

Alice has a super big crush on chef Mike so her cousin sign her up for his baking show.  And when Chef smoke sees her it is instant connection.  This is a super fun 3 part series of their romantic adventure!!!  I loved this but then I love all things SJ Tilly!!

What could go wrong with a Holiday cooking show, four amateur contestants and one HOT chef? Absolutely everything. I adored this book! Alice and Michael are so sweet and their super fast love story is so cute. Toss in two live streamed cooking contests and it’s perfection! I can’t wait to see what S.J. brings us next with Chef Michael, Alice and our Alliance couples!!! I can’t wait!

It really was an adorable story. One of those if you meet your hero in real life, and there was an extremely hot turn. If this story was written any other way, I feel it would be too unrealistic. But sprinkle in some cinnamon, flour and Christmas spirit, the story is just like any fantasy you could wish come true. 
 
This story is a age-gap, daddy vibe, Christmas magic and lots of fun between 3 novellas stringed together. 
 
Alice’s sweet heart makes you want to cheer her on and protect her. Of which Michael embraces. His continua nickname for her with a baking twist are wonderful. In fact there are many twists of baking and Christmas role playing that makes it fun. 
 
I always feel the sex doesn’t feel real if they aren’t having fun, and this book brings that. I encourage to grab Santa’s attention.

All I want for Christmas is to be one of S.J. Tilly’s FMCs 🎅🏼🎄

Ms. Tilly is coming in hot with some steamy, lighthearted holiday fun! Baby Cakes is a trio of holiday novellas following fangirl Alice Hatter and celebrity chef Michael Kesso on their whirlwind romance. It is the most insta-lovey insta-love, Michael is absolutely obsessed with Alice, and Alice is living every fangirl’s dream. All three are a fun, sexy jaunt to help get you into the holiday spirit. I think the OG, Second Bite, is my personal favorite, but Snowed In Bite and New Year’s Bite are an excellent time as well. Give Baby Cakes a read and report back which one is your favorite 😏

These are three separate novellas all put into one book. If you have read second bite, you could always skip the beginning or re read to get back into the world. I really enjoyed this cute holiday story. Chef Michael is *chefs kiss* the kind of overprotective man your dreams are made of. I love all of the men that SJ writes and he was no different.

This is the fastest insta-love story I’ve read which I know is not everyone’s favorite but it was written really well.


AND THE LAST PAGE! SJ you are too good to us!

Thank you Valentine PR and SJ Tilly for the ARC

Michael Kesso and Alice Hatter are the ✨️made for each other✨️ pair made in baking reality show heaven. I genuinely can not get enough of these two.

Think: hotter and gruffer Paul Hollywood meets sweet plus sized baking contestant and whoopsie daisy, soulmates.

BABY CAKES is three novellas in one book, so the story progresses super fast. But I found myself stumbling along with them right into love.

Second Bite is part one, where Michael and Alice meet on the set of the baking show. Snowed In Bite is Michael and Alice snowed in while in Canada as they prepare to film the New Years special. New Years Bite is set during said special.

The stories were packed with instalove & lust. Wonderful side characters. Cameo mentions from the Tillyverse. Sexy times. Inappropriate Christmas puns. A growly possessive baker/chef. The drama was drama-ing along with the plot - seriously. This was a nonstop, fun as hell read.

If you're looking for a hetero holiday novella, I can't recommend BABY CAKES enough. It's literally what holiday romance dreams are made of.

BABY CAKES comes out December 10th.
I can't wait to reread.
What a fun story

Chef Michael and Alice. Alice is down on her luck after not having a job and has to move in with her cousins. She is given the opportunity to compete on Second Bite, a baking tv show, where she meets Chef Michael. She has been obsessed with him for years, and the moment HE SEES HER…. Well lets just say he becomes obsessed. 

This book consists of three novellas and they were so good. I loved reading them. Chef Michael is so dang dominant and determined to make her his. The spic was so good!
