This was my first Jamie Wesley book and it won’t be my last! A Legend in the Baking is the perfect mix of sweet and spice, delivering everything I love in a romance: delicious tension, laugh-out-loud banter, and the slow burn of long-lost love reignited.
There’s something irresistible about a story set in a kitchen. Baking becomes more than just a backdrop, it’s an act of memory, of healing, of flirting. Watching August and reconnect over flour, buttercream and the whirlwind of social media, made my heart full. I’m a sucker for a second-chance romance, especially when it's filled with the kind of witty, electric exchanges that make you grin at the page.
Jamie Wesley knows how to write chemistry that leaps off the page. But what really got me was the Black love. Soft, smart, joyful Black love. Watching two Black people fall for each other with history, heartbreak, ambition, and sweetness felt like a celebration. This book reminded me that love stories don’t have to be grand gestures to be legendary they just need truth, care, and a little sugar.
If you like your romance with layers, heart, humour, heat, and homemade cake; A Legend in the Baking is a must-add to your shelf.
