Master Baker

Master Baker

Pippa Grant2019
They call me the sugar whisperer. Anything your tongue desires, I can bake it. Scones? Child's play. Cupcakes? I'll frost them so good you won't know what hit you. Donuts? Please. You're talking to a master baker. But there's one egg I've never been able to crack. My best friend. Correction: my former best friend. She's the apple in my pie. The whip in my cream. The lemon in my meringue. The wish in my bone. She's the one who got away. After ten years in the military, she's back. She's bruised and battered by life, but she's back. Except she's not my second chance. She's gone to the dark side. Running a rival bakery in a town not big enough for two. So now I have to decide--which do I want more? My bakery? Or the woman I never should've let go in the first place? Master Baker is a deliciously fun friends-to-enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy featuring a smooth-talking baker, the one who got away, and a goat with more matchmaking tendencies than a nosy old grandpa. It stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers.

This book fell a little flat for me. Yes, it’s a rom-com but I felt more emphasis was put on this book being funny, rather than getting a little bit of depth in it, which I don’t feel would’ve detracted from the humour. The rivalry between the two towns was petty. I felt it would’ve been better if the focus was on how Annika and Grady had left things years earlier. It leaves a shallow feeling. I didn’t really care for Grady, he came off a bit sleazy for me, and Annika was infuriating. She refused to admit she had any hand in what happened in her and Grady’s relationship, especially at the end of the book. There were moments of humour, Sue was a particularly light moment, as was Long Beak Silver, but ultimately this book fell flat and was a bit shallow for me, sorry.
