Baby oh Baby Cakes!

S.J. brought us another knock out novel that I couldn't put down. This book was funny, spicy and even clever. The chemistry between Alice and Michael was smoldering. (sorry silly pun...)

Alice has always had a crush on Chef Michael, even to the point of obsession. So, when she found out she was going to be a contestant on his Holiday Baking Show she was in her glory even if nothing was going to happen. Little did she know the moment Michael set eyes on her, she was his new obsession.

Baby Cakes was the perfect holiday novella that lifted your spirits and made you laugh and smile. From the little moments of chemistry to the hilarious awkward, clumsy moments. Everything was put together beautifully from beginning to end. Especially the end!!

✨ I received this book as an ARC for my honest review✨

Rate: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What’s better than one Christmas novella? THREE NOVELLAS IN ONE! Baby Cakes follows Alice, a passionate baker, as she competes on a popular baking show judged by none other than Chef Michael Kesso, her longtime crush.

What makes this series so special is how Michael and Alice’s chemistry builds throughout the novellas. From the moment Michael sees Alice, he is hooked and determined to win her over.

While Michael's protective, alpha attitude might seem tough, he’s a total softie when it comes to Alice, constantly showing her how beautiful she is—inside and out. Alice’s journey is inspiring as she moves from self-doubt to embracing her body, her worth, and her love life.

This book had the perfect amount of banter, humor, romance, and plenty of spice. S.J. Tilly definitely knows how to deliver on everything we could need with this novella for the holidays! Especially with a protective, dirty-mouthed, and totally obsessed Michael, you'll be hooked from the first page, like I was!

I also LOVE that every book I've read by S.J. Tilly has featured curvy girl representation! It’s so refreshing to see diverse body types.

Tropes: ▪ Age Gap ▪ Grumpy x Sunshine ▪ Insta Love ▪ Plus Size FMC ▪ 3 Novellas in 1 book ▪

I read Second Bite last year and loved, so it was so good to get back into the Alice and Michael world. I thoroughly enjoyed Baby Cakes and it's deliciousness!

Alice is contestant on a baking show, she has always had a major crush on the older judge; Michael and now he's stood right in front of her. Michael is just expecting another day on the set of his TV show, that all changes when he sees Alice.

If you love The Great British Bake Off, this is a great set of Novellas for you! I'm so in love with them, they were such great reads! Highly recommend!

This had no right being so good!!

Baby Cakes is the (very fast-paced) story of Michael and Alice. Michael is a famous chef and judge on his baking show, Second Bite. Alice has been in love with Michael for years….and thanks to her best friends, she’s now a contestant on Second Bite.

Their story is classic instalove/instalust….Alice had already been in love with him for years and Michael only needs one look into her eyes (and of course watching her suck some cake off of her finger…on live tv, mind you

Are you ready for a holiday / bake-off competition novella? Baby Cakes is a collection of the S.J Tilly Christmas novellas in the Bite Series in one book.

We meet chef Michael who is not thrilled about having no breaks between the recording of his baking show and is so over the hassle. Then we have Alice who recently lost her job so prior to her move to her cousins’ place is enrolled by said cousins in a baking show featuring her crush, chef Michael!!
