In the Case of Heartbreak by Courtney Kae
5.0
Oh my sweet cinnamon buns this was fun! In The Case of Heartbreak is a book that combines two of my favourite things, cute guys and baking!
Ben runs a little bakery in a mountainside town, and has the opportunity of a lifetime to take his family’s famous cinnamon buns nation-wide through a TV baking contest. There’s just one problem. His estranged father.
Adam runs the mechanic down the street from Ben’s bakery. He also plays guitar and is an all round incredible guy who has held a flame for Ben for years. Not that Ben has picked up on that. Nor had Adam picked up on Bens flame either… that is until Bens G-ma throws a 2 week celebration for her 80th birthday.
While trying to keep the drama surrounding the TV show a secret from his family, and dealing with the trauma of being lost in the woods as a child, Ben is thrown into the deep end when Adam shows up at the celebrations to play in the band. Adding to that Bens family meddling in their lives to bring the two together, there are shenanigans aplenty!
I honestly loved the way @court_kae wrote these two characters. Their insecurities, their traumas, their dreams, and the way that they build each other up and make each other stronger by being together. Oh and the baking scene where Ben is trying out new recipes, especially the frosting and the couch…I mean
