Publisher's Summary
“Lucy Parker writes deliciously fun enemies-to-lovers perfection!” (Tessa Bailey, New York Times best-selling author)
Beloved author Lucy Parker pens a delicious new romantic comedy that is a battle of whisks and wits.
Ready...
Four years ago, Sylvie Fairchild charmed the world as a contestant on the hit baking show Operation Cake. Her ingenious, creations captivated viewers and intrigued all but one of the judges, Dominic De Vere. When Sylvie's unicorn cake went spectacularly sideways, Dominic was quick to vote her off the show. Since then, Sylvie has used her fame to fulfill her dream of opening a bakery. The toast of Instagram, Sugar Fair has captured the attention of the Operation Cake producers...and a princess.
Set...
Dominic is His Majesty the King’s favorite baker and a veritable British institution. He’s brilliant, talented, hard-working. And an icy, starchy grouch. Learning that Sylvie will be joining him on the Operation Cake judging panel is enough to make the famously dour baker even more grim. Her fantastical baking is only slightly more troublesome than the fact that he can’t stop thinking about her pink-streaked hair and irrepressible dimple.
Match....
When Dominic and Sylvie learn they will be fighting for the once in a lifetime opportunity to bake a cake for the upcoming wedding of Princess Rose, the flour begins to fly as they fight to come out on top.
The bride adores Sylvie’s quirky style. The palace wants Dominic’s classic perfection.
In this royal battle, can there be room for two?

Narrator was fantastic but plot was okay
Narrator did a fantastic job with all the characters.
Overall, story was okay - the plot seemed to run out of steam and i just lost interest half way through but omg, some of the one liners were so funny and made laugh out loud.
There was dry, sarcastic witty humour but in the end, the plot just stalled and there was some plot twists to not even defibrillators can shock this story back to life.

Sweet treat
This book was very sweet (pun intended). I’m a fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope. However, the author’s writing style does not necessarily transfer well into an audiobook. Sometimes the story gets interrupted by a character’s thoughts or memories and because it’s not directly expressed prior to the interruption, it can be very confusing. Might be more enjoyable to read this one.

Hard too follow
I had a hard time understanding the narrator and kept getting lost in the story. I finally gave up. Might like this if I read it instead of just listening.

All around great time
I don’t read romance often anymore, and this is the first romance book I’ve listened to, but I loved it. Fabulous depiction of enemies (rivals) to lovers, and I enjoyed the side quests that wound up bringing the MCs together. Great use of humor and quirkiness, though I give so much credit to the narrator who did a top notch job!! Her cadence and timings were a perfect delivery of each jab, and her pause were on point for the emotions.

Again...Lucy Parker knocks it out of the park
Best romance I have read in a long time. The characters have depth, their motivations are clear, there is no ridiculous artificial drama provided by extraneous misunderstandings.
Simply excellent writing and narration.

Slow burn enemies to lovers
The story was engaging and humorous, but also emotional at times. I enjoyed the slow burn, enemies to lovers romance between the two main characters. The narrator was very good, might have worked better as a duet but not for lack of talent on her part

Excellent read! Ready for book 2!
I loved this book! The audible version was excellent. The main couple were perfect! I literally have no criticisms. I loved the side characters and usually am not one for spin-off books but I want stories for all of the side characters!
The royal romance/mystery on the side were beautiful and just the right amount of intrigue and romance.
I’ll definitely be reading this again in the future and will be moving along to the 2nd in the series.

Sweet Story
Although the narrator has a lovely voice and accent this was hard to follow. Maybe longer pauses with scene changes. I found myself lost in many parts of the book. But, cute premise and twists in the storyline.

Touching and kind of adorable
Lucy Parker and Billie Fulford-Brown have become a bit of an auto buy for me. Parker's writing can get a little angsty at bits, but for the most part is pretty light and funny. although this book had some very touching parts about family, that even made me cry a bit. The only thing that felt odd was the interactions with the royals, I get they are people, but also there were a lot of personal things aired in front of two bakers.
