Alright, so the last few books I’ve read have had amazing female characters who kick ass, and go after what they want. And this is an amazing quality that I absolutely love seeing in the books I read

When I pick up a Helena Hunting book I know I'm going to have a good time but this was over the top - the icing on the cupcake. The characters of Blair and Ronan are so perfect you want to eat them up. Their enemies to lovers story is perfect. When they meet she thinks he's a lumberjerk and he thinks she's an Alice in Wonderland. Their "courtship" is filled with sniping and practical jokes but when push comes to shove they join together to save both of their businesses.
If you want to laugh out loud and get a Happily Ever After this book is for you!

This book had no big dramatic “”conflict”” toward the end like most romcoms do. It was nice??? Peaceful??? A breath of fresh air??? I always find it so irritating when the author throws in some ridiculous nonsense just for the sake of having a melodrama-fueled climax. The conflict in this book never even fully developed. It was just a hint of tension and was resolved within 15 pages. Wild.

Cute story. I always enjoy Helena Hunting’s books. I liked the setting a lot.

I felt as though the author was dismissing the severity of the ‘me too’ movement, making fun of it even.
Sexual harassment is not a joke and I expect more especially from woman writers.

Blaire and Ronan's story was a joy to read, one that gave me lots of heart and humor with a pinch of angst to keep me happy. I so appreciated Blaire's go-getter personality. She had dreams and ambition, and she wanted to achieve all of it by putting in the work necessary. She was strong-willed and independent, but I also liked seeing the softer side to her, one that was brought out when she was with those she care about the most, and one that was more inspired to come out and play when Ronan came along. Speaking of Ronan, the guy could probably charm the heck out of anyone, but I loved that Blaire was someone who didn't easily swoon over said charm, making Ronan work harder for her love and trust. After all, there's a reason why there's a saying about having a greater appreciation for the things that require more of us. Kiss My Cupcake was a sweet and sexy romance with all the feels, and it gets 4.5 stars.

Want a book that’s as sweet as the desserts it features then this is for you. 
 The lovable main characters bring sunshine to a problem that is relatable in real life. This story draws you in so you can’t help but fall in love along side them. The vibes give sexy bartending lumberjack and cupcake queen with 1950s style. Don’t let her attire fool you though plenty of lite spice to be had. So Cozy up in your reading chair with a cupcake and a glass of your favorite drink.

 Kiss My Cupckae turns out to be flat in the middle. I was expecting to be sassy and funny. I do like enemy turn to lover trope. Miss Hunting missing the dynamic chemistry between the characters.

I was already a fan of Huntings, but this one knocks it out of the park!

A Cupcake queen opens up shop next to a Dashing Plaid wearing Bar Owner and hi-jinx ensue. It's sweet and funny and warm and all the best things a good Romantic Comedy should be. It also has a whole lot of heart, warmth and a gramps who steals every scene he's in.

Absolutely adored it and can't wait to see what the author comes up with next.

I received an arc through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
