Would you like to know the secret of surviving 2020? Read a book from this talented, funny wordsmith. Continually. You'll laugh out loud, maybe cry a little, and definitely blush, but when it's safe to resume normal life you can emerge from her book world and carry on with life. Reading her book isn’t just an escape. It's an experience, an event, it's living your very best life in another world. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had enough of 2020’s shenanigans and am ready to disappear in Appleby, IA, for good.
If you’re new to the series, you’ll need to be brought up to speed on the generations-long feud between Buttered Up bakery and the Hot Cakes factory, also known as the McCaffery and Lancaster families. This book is especially entertaining because it's a romance between a member of each feuding family. Cam's mother ran the Buttered Up bakery, so Cam grew up there, but now he and his millionaire friends have purchased the Hot Cakes factory from the rival family. Whitney Lancaster, Cam McCaffery's first love, still works for Hot Cakes, and now Cam is her boss.
I was already on board with the Hatfield-McCoy type feud, but when you add in the nod to Romeo and Juilet, enemies to lovers, (or at least not-friends to lovers) and a second chance romance, gah! I’m giddy with anticipation and know my heart will be ruined in the most exquisite ways. And this crafty, gifted lady certainly delivers with Cam and Whitney’s story!
Oh Whitney. Poor, buttoned-up, always professional Whitney. She doesn’t stand a chance against Cam's charm, and she has yet to get a clue. When Cam sets his mind to something, he's all in and there’s no turning back. And he wants a chance with Whitney. He wants to know the person she is now and see if there's still something between them.
I legit wish I could move to Appleby just to be part of this bunch. The guys with their bromance keep me in stitches, the small-town feel is welcoming and quirky, the heroines are amazing women, and I can now add Grandma Didi to my list of favorites.
Didi deserves her own paragraph – her character is clever and hilarious but poignant and sweet. I appreciate the author’s careful but lighthearted handling of Alzheimer's Disease, but I especially love the reminder to soak up all the wisdom and stories of the past from our older family members while we still can. There's so much they take with them when they go.
This book may be my favorite in this series so far, and yes, I seem to say that after each new book. But the two feuding families find healing in the most amazing, heartfelt, uplifting ways, and Cam and Whitney both learn so much about themselves on their journey to forever. With lots of laughs, a little steam but loads of chemistry and tension, and an industrial-size batch of heart, this one beats any chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had. You’ll definitely want to start on this semi-sweet guilty pleasure today!

I have been looking forward to this book for a while now and it was everything I could have imagined and more. Really enjoyed how the book started with Cam and Whitney, their flirtation and chemistry is still there, even though Whitney is ‘trying’ hard to be the strong one and not feed into it. From there it is onto the baking competition which was so funny. Between the petting zoo and the alpacas (or are they llamas) to the competition itself and of course the bidding takes an unexpected yet surprising turn. I have fallen in love with all the characters in this series and enjoyed being a fly on the wall to see what was going to happen with Cam and Whitney, however I could not get enough of Didi. I most definitely want to be like her when I get older. I thought it was interesting how we learned a lot more about her and Letty’s past as well as more about the feud between the McCaffery’s and the Lancaster’s, which was something I was not expecting. I also thought it was touching that with Cam stepping up to help Didi, in turn Didi in her own way, helped to heal the rift between the two families. Seeing Piper and Cam, discussing Whitney and Ollie and how they are so alike and learning to deal with that yet wanting to be with that person, was an interesting conversation to listen to as well. I was so glad that Whitney finally realized that there is more to work and was there for Cam, his family, and friends with Cam’s mom. I have had a favorite book in this series for a while now, but this book has now overtaken that one and is now my favorite. One of my favorite lines is, ‘never trust someone who doesn’t like cookies’. This series keeps getting better and better. I am excited to go back to Appleby with a sprinkling of Louisiana in the next book.

This book was absolutely perfect. It was exactly the story I needed for Cam and Whitney. Cam and Whitney were secret high school sweethearts, they had to be a secret because their families had rival bakeries in the same town. After Whitney broke things off with Cam and he left town for college and a career, they had both moved on or so they thought. Cam is now back in town for good with his friends who all own Hot Cakes together, the company that Whitney’s family ran until selling to Cam and his friends. Cam and Whitney are still attracted to each other but aren’t sure where they stand with each other now.
Whitney’s grandmother, Didi, invites Cam to move in with her and help her out, this is helpful to Cam because it just so happens that Whitney lives
with her grandmother. Cam enjoys this on another level because Didi was his grandmother’s best friend before their fallout over the bakery happened and now Cam is hearing stories about his grandmother that he had never heard before. It also helps to open his and Whitney’s eyes to one another.
This was a slow burn, second chance romance and it was honestly the best story. This book really made me love Cam(although Grant is still the best, lol) even more than I did before. I loved Whitney and that her and Cam worked towards what they have now and made it better than before and more honest.
This is a fantastic series and you can not go wrong with any of these books.

...Everything!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2020Verified Purchase
Cam is just ornery enough to want what he can't have, but he doesn't just want her in his bed, he wants every bit of Whitney. Ten years has not changed the way he feels for her, but he has grown in the last ten years and knows if he is going to win her heart and her trust he needs to do it slowly, she is very skittish and doesn't understand unconditional love...she has never been shown respect, encouragement, support or love, at work or at home, so his big decision is...where does he start?
Whitney is lovely but she breaks your heart, her difficult upbringing and working for the family have left her aloof, defensive and socially uncomfortable. Cam and his friends and family show her that not everyone is judging you, you don't have to prove yourself every minute of every day and most of all she is very, very lovable.
This book has less sex than the rest of the series so far but there is still plenty of sexy banter and teasing foreplay. I loved every page.

Tantalising slow burn second chance romance.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2020Verified Purchase
To be honest I’m not usually a fan of second chance romances... there’s always too much angst and I get annoyed with them for going back for more when it didn’t work the first time. Well that has all changed thanks to Cam and Whitney. This is a fantastic, and many other superlatives, book. From page one there is heat, great flirty banter, sweetness and sass. The heat builds steadily throughout the book; how she withstands a determined Cam is beyond me! He’s all muscles, tattoos and smouldering good looks with a bad boy image and sweetness, kindness and love making up his soft centre. Number 4 in the wonderful Hot Cakes series this can be read as a stand alone, but trust me when I say You should treat yourself to the series! Have fun with the cookie dough!

Amazing series!

This series is so amazing!
Cam and Whitney were meant to be together but sha had to let him go for him to get out of their small town and make something of himself, she didn't want to hold him back. In the long run, it was the right decision because he did and came back to her and they eventually rekindled their romance and it's better than ever.
I can't wait for Gimme Smore, Ollie and Piper's story.

Super fun and sweet. I liked seeing Whitney become more confident in herself and loved when Cam moved in to take care of Didi. Totally a page turner.
