I really enjoyed my time reading this one! I LOVE foodie books and competition shows, so this was the perfect one for me.
The banter between the characters had me rolling through the whole book. I love snarky characters and these were a bit more snarky than I'm used to seeing, which I loved.
Seeing Dominic have so many traits of beloved male baking/cooking competition judges was awesome. If you've read this, did he also remind you of Paul Hollywood? He did for me, but I think he was a bit snarkier and mean sometimes.
The characters were so different and I loved seeing them interact with one another. I can't wait for the next book to come out!

This was my first Lucy Parker book and it won’t be my last. I didn’t realize until the end that there would be a second with different main characters and I am looking forward to it. The way the MMC and FMC come together is beautifully written and still believable.

This book was sooooooo long...but so sweet!
Honestly, I usually finish a book in one sitting (or until I pass out from exhaustion) but this one was a bit stop and go for me. However, the story was lovely and the characters adorable.
The cast of characters were real. The FMC and MMC had both experienced painful loss, and their journey of healing through trust and vulnerability was really beautiful. The sister was so sweet, I loved her and can't wait for her book.
Spice level 🌶 2/5

Battle Royal just stuck out to me and latched on.
We not only get a rivals to lovers romance, but also grumpy/sunshine that like written for me!
The relationship between them slowly builds throughout the course of this novel, and is portrayed in a realistic, relatable manner.
I started reading, and I ended up devouring the story in less than a day. Y'all there's so much delicious food in here.
Lucy Parker has written a really fun book here that I would definitely recommend.
Can't wait to see what the next book holds.
Special thanks to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for sharing this ARC with me in exchange for an honest review.
