We don’t serve sandwiches.For some reason, the tall and muscular stranger from out of town can’t get that through his head. I tell him the best I can do is a cookie sandwich. Then he grind and tells me … grind and tells me he’d like to eat my cookie. Did I hear that right?
I did. He wants me.
The curvy cookie maker.
I don’t even know his name…

Pop Rocks dipped in chocolate………YUMMY!!!!
Cookie is the fifth book in the Sweet Curves series and it is a sweet and little spicy cookie with a very creamy filling. The story of Annie and Baxter is an OTT insta-lust/love romance short story. It has one super handsome “sex on a stick” possessive and protective Alpha and one sweet curvy young woman with a heart that is too good to be true, oh and let’s not forget never been touched even by herself. The story-line was fun but you do not need to have GPS to figure out what your destination will be and what stops along the way you will be making. But all in all it is a fast-paced and cute short story that is enjoyable to read………..plus it makes the baker in your start thinking up new cookie combinations to try!!!
Okay, this was a bit better than the last book (#3, oops I skipped ahead one!) but not by much.
I can read instalove stories just fine but this one just seemed ridiculous to me for some reason.
So Annie (24) owns a cookie shop with “the worlds best cookies” which is a family recipe that everyone and their mom is trying to buy from her, but she won’t give it up. So here comes Baxter (39), sent by his father who owns a huge food company to try and sweet talk her into selling. But one look at Annie and Baxter is “in love” or so they say.
The shit that comes out of his mouth not 5 seconds after seeing Annie just give me the creep factor even if the dude is all ripped and hot as fuck.
“I’d like to eat your cookie.”
I’m just looking at the woman who will have my children, and I’m not one to pull punches. So how about you go out back and tell that boss of yours you’re running away to get married.”
“The moment I walked in here, I knew you belonged with me.”
Nah, this just isn’t working for me. I can imagine how this would go IRL and no woman would fall for that crap.
But he comes back the next day and she does fall for it. I mean, this girl is 24 years old and is not only a virgin, SHE’S NEVER TOUCHED HERSELF BEFORE. Are you kidding me with this right now?
Anyway, aside from all that… Baxter avoids the question on what he does for work and never gives his last name (he even avoided giving his first name until pretty much right before they fucked) in case she recognized it and connected him to the food company his father owns. Lame.
Plus his dad shows up and acts like a dick, praises him for trying to get her recipe by making her trust him and think he’s family and they get the ingredients for free but in the next paragraph he’s saying “it was just like that with your mother… go get her.” and accepting their love. When his dad was this asshole for the whole story. Sure, makes sense.
The only thing I liked was the epilogue because it ended in a nice HEA and the fact that her weight and body type was somewhat referenced more than the other books… but she’s also 6 foot tall so.. there’s also that.
I dunno what happened… I liked book 1 and 2 of this series. I’m not giving up hope just yet.

This was such a sweet fast read. It had great characters and was plenty steamy with lots of instant love.
Cookie is a great little read about a curvy baker and the company man trying to buy her recipes. Is an insta love type romance, with steamy scenes and cheeky comments from our alpha man. Bax wants annie. It’s fine nothing will stop him, only family can sometimes get in the way. Great fun read.
I really enjoyed this story. Annie and Baxter were very entertaining. Nina cracked me up. I feel like Nina needs a book too!
Annie makes cookies in her bakery from her family’s recipe that is passed down generation to generation. People drive for miles for a box of fudgey choc chip. She makes all kinds of cookies, but that’s all. No sandwiches, unless you count a cookie sandwich.
Baxter is from out of town when he stops at Annie’s bakery hoping for a sandwich. When he gets into the bakery and starts checking out Annie his interest in sandwiches changes into interest in a curvy baker. How does he convince her that he really wants to keep her?
Loved the interactions between Annie and Baxter. I laughed a lot. I definitely recommend reading this book.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
It’s alright.
It’s a bit predictable…
I also have issues with Annie (the sweet baker) being very skeptical about new people, especially those new ones in suits looking to obtain her famous cookie recipe. However, even as skeptical as she was about the hero she fall into bed with him so fast.
It’s also annoying to have the hero’s father come in to add some drama to the story and then just kind of leave that there hanging…
Like seriously, this guy was dead set to have that recipe for his food store. And then he’s all like “go get your girl” and that’s it… did the hero have to give up his inheritance that he claimed he would to keep Annie?
See, if you are going to add some things to these shorter stories, you have to make sure to tie up all loose ends. If not, the reader is left a bit floundering on what’s happening.
