A Legend in the Baking by Jamie Wesley is a “second chance romance” joy. August Hodges is a football player and cupcake baker at Sugar Blitz. Sloane Dell is a social media manager seeking employment. The two had an undeniable connection but missed their chance when August tried to stick out a romance with his high school sweetheart – which ultimately failed. Full of emotional and meaningful flashbacks, spice, and more hard-hitting themes like combating toxic masculinity and exploring gentrification, A Legend in the Baking is a dessert of a romance novel. The substantial messages folded into the narrative is the icing on top.
