A Sweet Mess by Jayci Lee
4.0
I think I gained 5 lbs just reading this book and all of the delicious foods that were described. I do wish that there were a few more recipes at the end especially for the desserts that Aubrey makes for a television show.
Aubrey and Landon have that instant animal reaction to each other sexually as evidenced by their one night stand. When a review of Aubrey's bakery goes awry due to miscommunications, Landon seeks to make it right without compromising his no second review policy. What ensues is their attempts to keep things platonic despite the intense attraction they feel for one another. Let's just say it doesn't work.
If you are in the mood for something light and fluffy (my terminology for most romance novels) then you won't be disappointed. True love does not run smoothly for these two and it is definitely a case of communication that can solve all of their problems if they would just not be so obstinate about being true to themselves and their relationship.
I really liked several of the supporting characters. Tara, Aubrey's BFF, is a hoot but also loyal to Aubrey. There is a hint of a possible book featuring her and another character. Aria and Lucien are two other characters that I liked because they pulled no punches when it came to Landon. They may be his friends but they knew when he was not making wise choices.
Outside of the romance, there is a subplot regarding Aubrey and her mother and their reconciliation and some truths that come to light that are best for both of them.
I devoured this book and if you are a foodie that loves romance books, I think you will like this book too. We give this 4 paws up.
