Baby Cakes by SJ Tilly is the perfect holiday treat—a three-part novella series wrapped up in one gorgeous package. I first fell in love with Alice and Michael in Second Bite a few years ago and have been craving more of their story ever since. This year, SJ Tilly played spicy Santa and delivered not one but two delicious novellas to complete the Bite series: Snowed In Bite and New Year’s Bite.
The story begins with Alice, an aspiring baker appearing on a popular baking show judged by none other than her longtime crush, Chef Michael Kesso. The moment these two meet, sparks fly—both on-screen and off. Michael’s instalove attraction is immediate and utterly swoon-worthy, and their connection only deepens when they take things outside the competition. This is where the first part of the story leaves you hungry for more.
Parts two and three pick up during Christmas and New Year’s, bringing all the holiday vibes. These novellas are packed with the perfect mix of spice, humor, and heart, leaving you feeling warm, satisfied, and totally ready for the season.
One of the reasons I adore SJ Tilly’s books is her ability to write male main characters who are the perfect mix of protective, caring, and wonderfully dirty-mouthed. Michael is no exception—he’s everything you’d want in a book boyfriend and more.
I don’t always love the instalove trope, but in a novella where the pace is faster, it just works—and SJ absolutely nails it. Michael and Alice feel like they’ve known each other forever, and their chemistry is undeniable. They’re the kind of couple you root for from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a quick, spicy, and heartwarming read, Baby Cakes is an absolute must before the holiday season is over.
