Love at 350° by Lisa Peers
4.0
I love baking shows, whether on the small screen or in a rom-com novel, and Love at 350° is about a National baking contest full of yummy treats, intrigue, and lots of fun. Tori Moore has always wanted to own a bakery, so when her twins nominate her for a National baking contest, she will have a chance to make her dream come true. But when she becomes romantically interested in one of the judges, will she give up that dream for love - again?
The romance takes a backseat to the contest, which makes it feel all the more authentic as it progresses very slowly. Tori and Kendra are each at a transition point and must determine what the rest of their lives will be like - follow the dream or take the practical path. And when they find each other, it could blow up everything.
I loved the character Natalie. She is a conundrum wrapped up in a mystery and provides an unexpectedly intriguing plot line for the story. There is a mystery, tension, and suspense, and I just lapped it up. The story needed that element to give it a bit more entertainment for the reader; otherwise, it risked being rather one-note.
Overall, I couldn’t put this book down! I just had to know how the contest would turn out and who was twirling their metaphorical mustache in the background. Love at 350° is a delightful story!
