Second Bite by S.J. Tilly
5.0

As usual with anything I read by SJ Tilly, this one is a winner!

Reality baking show ✔️
Holiday themed ✔️
Age gap ✔️
Insta-love ✔️

If you are looking any of these, this is the book for you.

Alice is down on her luck lately and gets entered into a holiday baking show by her meddling cousins. To make things more uncomfortable for her, she has had a love induced crush on one of the celebrity judges for years.

Mike, Michael to those who are close to him, plays the part of the hard, no nonsense judge for the show Second Bite. Already in a bad mood to start the show, his mood instantly changes when his eyes land on Alice. He knows immediately that his life has changed and he wants nothing more than a future with her.

Once the baking show is over, will Alice and Michael want to be together? Or will their instant attraction remain as lust rather than love.

Man, this book was unexpectedly spicier than I thought it would be! It was such a quick read (it took me less than two hours to read!). I want more Alice and Michael!!
