Starting with Saccharine, it was a cute love story between Emilie & Jen. Emilie joins Graham’s Delicacies as a baker and Jen, who has been working there as part of the waitstaff for a while, is instantly smitten. They start out as friends and slowly progress into more over a period of time, working side by side and hanging out. I loved seeing them grow from friends to more and just be all cute for each other. It was really nice to see the cute, blushing Em come into their own as they spent more time with Jen. Literal heart eyes.

Delectable, the story focusing on James & Sam, who both have been working at the bakery for a while, though, was definitely my favourite of the trio. James is an absolute, complete cinnamon roll baby and gods, I love him so much! It would not be incorrect to say that he is probably my favourite out of all characters in the stories as well. I loved him right off the bat, when he was introduced in Saccharine and my love grew as I read Delectable. Sam, nerd extraordinaire is closely vying for the spot of fave with James. Such a cutie. I adore him so much. And, gods! THE MUTUAL PINING. YASSSSSSSSSS. I am here for it. My fanfic loving ass is a fan of the trope, because of course. And I just absolutely, completely, wholly loved their romance! Cho cute!

All the romances were cute, fluffy, and really, really, really heartwarming. I loved how it was just cute stories about people falling in love and finding the one person who meant so much to them. We didn’t have any unnecessary issues or miscommunications. Just perfect to curl up with after a long day to feel warm and happy. It certainly left me feeling that way.

Em has done such a great job in bringing these sweet romances to life, and I absolutely love them all! Definitely a must read for all romance fans.
