Review

If I could build a boyfriend, a grumpy baker in London would absolutely be it!

“I was hopelessly attracted to the tough guy with the fierce glower who baked cakes and snickered like a teenager.”

This is a sweet one. Meet cute on a plane with a hot airport hook-up! An encounter that left both Scott and Theo inquisitive about the other. So when Theo offers to put his marketing skills to use for Scott’s growing bakery, a lunch meeting turns into a sleepover, which turns into spending all the time they can together.

The whirlwind romance has an end date though. This is just a vacation for Theo, and he has to return home to start a new job. Can they figure out how they feel and solve the problem of a pesky Ocean that separates their homes?

Sweet and sexy and surrounded by baked goods. Dreams do come true…at least for Theo and Scott (I’m still waiting!).

Also, I’m definitely adding Bath to the list of places I want to visit.

Synopsis

A grumpy baker, a quirky ad man, and a recipe for forever…

Scott

So this cute guy sits next to me on the plane and proceeds to talk my ear off for hours. Not good. I don’t like talking and I don’t like strangers. But Theo’s sweet, smart, and sexy—the perfect distraction from business woes and personal worries.

Okay, things got overly friendly, but we’re adults and we know the score. I’m too old, he’s too nice, and we live on different continents.

Then, out of the blue, he shows up at my bakery with that pretty smile and a list of wacky marketing ideas—like how to make fairy cakes a thing.

I don’t like fairy cakes.

But I do like Theo, so…maybe?

Theo

The new me takes risks. The new me is brave and confident. The new me flirts with hunky, imposing bears on planes while traveling to a foreign country.

It’s going well, thank you.

However, my plans to do some sightseeing, drink tea, and eat my weight in biscuits every day get derailed when I realize there might be a way to help Scott and prove a few things to myself.

Don’t worry. I won’t fall for the grumpy baker. No way. He’s complicated and broody and—

Uh oh…it might be too late. Help!

Fairy Cakes in Winter is a bisexual, age-gap, grumpy/sunshine MM romance featuring a sexy baker, a sunny tourist, and a few dozen fairy cakes.
