After an earthquake traps them together they are forced to come to terms with their feelings. That's basically the entire book. I wanted to love this like I liked the first two in this series but it's just lacking.

It was set up nicely with a grumpy baker and a girl who loves his pastries but thinks he hates her. Why she ever let that determine whether she'd go there or not is wild. Why she wanted to keep supporting this man that she thought hated her is also wild. And then after an earthquake traps them together they confess their love, how he's always noticed her (but glared at her every time?!?! No ones resting bitch face is THAT bad) and now they are going upstairs to do each other? I wanted this to make sense but maybe this version of the story wasn't meant for 40 pages.

As always though I did find a quote that had me chucklin': "You've heard of resting bitch face right? I would assume so, your picture is right next to it in the dictionary." haha.
