❤️Baking Competition
❤️Super Sexy
❤️There’s Only One Bed
❤️Dominican MCs
❤️Holiday Romance

I finished this in one day because it was just so much fun! It was really easy to listen to and the narrator was fantastic. It was also very sexy and very smutty (in the best way). I loved the whole Edinburgh during the holidays, cosy baking competition vibe and I was hungry the whole time.

This would have been a five star read if it wasn’t for a few small issues. I wasn’t a fan of the fact that one of the MCs immediately judged another woman based on looks, her internal misogyny was showing and it wasn’t a great look on her. The other issue was the fact that I found the narration a little confusing in that it was sometimes hard to tell whose POV it was. Their internal monologues were almost too similar so I got a little lost.

I would recommend it if you want a quick, sexy sapphic novella that will have you blushing the whole time.
