When Gage took over his grandparent’s bakery three years ago, love was the last thing on his mind. Despite the best efforts of his wanna-be-matchmaker sister, Emma, he was content to keep his nose to the grindstone, work his ass off, and make the bakery the success he knew it could be.
That all changed the day the neighbor from hell bought the shop next to his and began remodeling, destroying … destroying Gage’s well-ordered life in the process. It really was too bad she was so damn gorgeous…
Coming April 2019, Baked with Love is the ninth novel in the Long Valley series, although all books in the Long Valley world can be read as standalones. It has some strong language, and oh my, sexy times. Enjoy!

I’m so happy that Erin Wright has released a new book. I read it as soon as I got it. She has the gift of being able to tell a story and make you feel like you are right there. I feel like I have a connection with the characters.
Baked With Love is the 9th book in the Long Valley Western Romance series. You don’t have to read the other books in the series but you really should. Not only are they fantastic books but you’ll gain a lot of insight, as the characters from previous books walk through the books in the series.
Cady has been hit hard by tragedies in her life. She has spent months barely able to get out of bed. Most days she didn’t. She rarely left her house. Until one day, shortly after New Years, she gathers up her courage and goes for a hike in Long Valley, where a college roommate had taken her previously. On her way home, she drives through the little town of Sawyer and decides to stop for a cup of coffee. Two things happen. First, she meets Gage, who startles her. Cady reacts out of fear and Gage isn’t so impressed with her either. The second thing is that she sees an empty storefront and dreams of buying it and starting a business, which she does. But when she and Gage find out that their businesses are next door to one another, sparks fly, and not the good kind. In fact, at one point, sparks literally do fly.
Can these two put aside their differences and realize that they are just what each of them need? This book is awesome. It is sweet and hot. Erin Wright can weave a great tale.
Such a great addition to the Long Valley series!
Without giving the plot away, this story revolves around Cady, a young woman who has had more than her fair share of trauma in her life. She meets Gage as she is trying to move forward with her life.
Gage has a heart of gold and is there for Cady step-by-step as she works on reclaiming some normalcy in her life.
While the subject matter is serious and tragic, this story draws you in and keep you engaged throughout. Watching Cady grow and regain confidence is inspiring and uplifting, in spite of all that has happened.
Gage and Cody together are really heartwarming!
The town of Sawyer feels like a real small town, with characters from other stories in the series showing up too, which adds so much texture to these stories!
Whether you’re new to the Long Valley series or not, you will be drawn into this story and cheer for Gage an Cady!
Reading this series I have drooled over and lusted after Gage Dyer, as have almost all of the single women of Sawyer and Long Valley. But it seems one petite new comer who isn’t interested in him at all will catch his attention. Their falling in love story follows a most unusual path though heartbreaking it is also witty and only proves how right for each other they are. We catch up with a lot of old friends while enjoying a return to this close knit community in a fun enthralling read.

This just pulled me in, struggles to overcome the angst blended perfectly with the sweetness that keeps you going. I love the strong spirits that pulled through every day against the evils of this world.
4.5 Stars
Another great story in this series! Cady is an ordinary person hit hard the last few years, struggling to survive, let alone thrive. Gage is the last person she wanted or expected but is the one she needs.
I could not put down Baked with Love. I enjoy all Ms. Wright’s books, but this one is really special. When I got done all I could think was WOW! Cady just had so much to overcome but big hearted Gage really helps her. The last chapter and the epilogue are really outstanding and the perfect ending to this awesome romance. If you read no other book set in Long Valley, read this one!
This might be my favorite Erin Wright book so far even though I love pretty much every word she writes. I loved Gage back from Flames of Love, plus we got to see more from Sugar in this book. Cady just, she just instantly found her way into my heart. Just like Gage, I wanted to hug her and tell her everything would be okay, that she was going to be okay. And the way Gage was with Cady just made me love him more. I could go on, but i really dont want to give anything away. This book is so good, even though it’s on the longer side, I finished it in a little over a day because I just couldn’t put it down. I love authors that write in one world like this, as a reader you feel rewarded to see other familiar characters and places pop up in each and every book.
Cady is trying to figth the depression after her parents tragic accident and been sexually attacked. When she come across an old building in Sawyer she see a new purpose in life.

Can Cady open up to life, happinness, friendship and love again? Gage will help her to overcome her fears and will show her she is worth it. A tough, funny and sometimes sad love story, as life itself
The Muffin Man.
Gage Dyer is the town baker. Hey, he’s ripped and he bakes. He’s a dream.
But he has a nightmare of a new neighbor, in the utter headcase Candy Walcott. She disses sugar, acts like he’s going to jump her, takes out the entire towns electricity when she hires a cheap electrician off Craigslist.
I loved Gage, the hard working baker.
I really didn’t care for Cady. Yes, she has reason to be skittish. But I just wanted Gage with someone extra special.
What I liked? That they got to know each other over months. That Gage cared to always treat everyone with respect.
Did I mention he bakes?
Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this book which is part of the Long Valley Romance series but it can be read as a standalone. The book was well-written with strong characters and an entertaining read. A . cute enemies to lovers romance that will keep you page turning. Some fiery language and no shortage of sexy scenes. I read an arc via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review.
