Beef Cake by Jiffy Kate
5.0

I’m a huge Green Valley fan and have loved being able to venture back to Tennessee with Smartypants Romance and it’s amazing authors. Jiffy Kate, the wonderfully talented writing duo, once again captured my heart with their second Donner Bakery book, Beef Cake.

Beef Cake is the story of Frankie and Gunnar Ericksen, and is a story of love, trust, letting go of the past and moving forward. It has both new characters and well-loved familiar faces and has a storyline that will make you laugh, smile and indeed bring a tear to your eye. I love that the authors could bring Frankie’s vulnerability and her day to day set routine to life and make her a character I was cheering for from the first page. Her history had me longing for her own personal HEA, with this story the perfect balance of ups and downs as we follow along Frankie and Gunnar’s journey to love. We are also faced with Frankie’s own personal journey of growth and facing her demons.

Gunnar is Cage Ericksen’s younger brother, who we met in Jiffy Kate’s first Donner Bakery Book - Stud Muffin. Also an MMA fighter, he is looking to his older brother for guidance and training, but could it be his career that actually turns Frankie away?

A story for new readers as well as those familiar with Green Valley, I recommend Beef Cake to fans of contemporary romance who enjoy some angst, sweetness and steam, and a story that will pull on your heartstrings but also make you smile, and at times laugh out loud. Jiffy Kate are authors who engage their readers with well-written stories, romance and steam and characters you know will take their own place in your heart. Beef Cake does just this, and it’s a 5 star read for me. I did receive an early copy of this book, thank you to the authors and Social Butterfly PR. This is an honest review and I do apologise for it being a few days late.
