Overall enjoyed the story, but the writing was a bit disjointed. It often didn’t flow well, and conversations were stilted.
The only thing I can think of to describe the writing style is word salad.
Sometimes enemies-to-lovers isn't actually enemies. It's more like unrequited love with a big side of fear. Like in grade school when kids pulled hair or teased the the person they liked. This book felt like a legitimate entry for this trope.
Sylvie and Dominic do not see eye to eye. They meet during a cake competition and her artistic flair is the antithesis of his neat and orderly. Four years later, they have to share the same space again and entertain the masses.
I read this book mostly by listening to the audio and I have to say that was to my detriment. I was not a fan of the narrator at all. The bright and great moments were often overshadowed by her intonation. Despite my thoughts on the audio, I think Lucy's voice is one I would be interested in reading again. I'll have to take advantage of the physical copy next time.
Thank you to Avon Books and NetGalley for the advanced copy and Harper Audio for the alc. All thoughts in this review are my own.

A cute read. Great writing and lovable characters.
I love, love, LOVED this read and I can’t wait to have Battle Royal in my collection. Also, I am DYING to read the next books in the series.
This book is just as sweet as the desserts they make.
It was a good read but sometime I had a hard time following all the characters. I will read it again when I’m in a different frame of mind to see if I like it better.
If you're looking for an elevated romance novel, this is it. Bakeries, a royal wedding, and rivals-to-lovers. What's not to love?
