We might have this ‘frenemies with benefits’ thing going, but I’ll outbid his proposal and kick his perfect … client from me. We might have this ‘frenemies with benefits’ thing going, but I’ll outbid his proposal and kick his perfect behind without breaking my stride.

That should be easy.
Right?
Yeah, right.

Famous last words.

I don’t normally read romantic comedies, they often come across too sweet and naïve for me. But Liz Gavin has created a new series, “A Year in Love”, with this being the first book. She’s given us Stephen Clark and Natalie Todeschini who grew up as childhood friends and then became friends with benefits as they got older. A storyline about two very stubborn, hard-headed people who refuse to acknowledge there is more between them than friendship and sexual chemistry. Filled with a humor that will give you small chuckles to full blown belly laughs, this could be a series I’ll follow along with.
Couldn’t put it down!
“Easter Cookie” Is A Great Read Proffering An Awesome Balance Between Drama & S€X¥ Times!!
They may be Competitors…
But… They LOVE to Handle the STIFF Competition thrown at Each other!
That includes the UpCum’n Trip to Vegas,
Where they’ll GO be go’n Toe-to-Toe & Head-to-Head Against Each Other…
Until the Doors are Closed & the Lights are Low,
Then, Their Inhibitions Run FREE…
At least Until SomeThing stands IN their Way!
Even though I own Liz Gavin’s “Easter Cookie: An Enemies to Lovers Romantic Comedy (A Year In Love Book 1),” I agreed to review it for Her via B00|{$P®0UT; I recommend this book to others based upon its own merits. All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given!
Until next time… Happy Reading!
ARC was given to me by Author through Booksprout.
My review is giving completely voluntarily.
I gave this book a 4 stars.
I am going to rate this book as a whole, since I have only read 3 out of the 4 installments. (The last short story is to be releasing in November 2020.)
This is the 1st book in a 4 part installment story. They are short books, that end in cliffhangers, you have to read all of them in order to understand what is happening.
This is my first book I read by Liz Gavin and I did enjoy them.
Steve and Natalie were friends back in high school, and more then liked each other secretly. He was the shyer nerd type afraid, and she was popular cool girl outgoing. They always hung out together, bestfriends, they were 3 of them Bella was Natalie best friend too. Unfortunately senior promo happened- everything changed that night for them sequence of events like secrets, misunderstandings, misinterpretation, betrayal, broken hearts that would keep them apart for a few years. The next installments will take us through their rollercoaster of a relationship, until they met again, rebuilding trust , company’s they’ve built, friendships they’ve kept,, rivalries in same industries, ex`s return to cause problems, their chemistry is undeniable, steamy HOT sex they just can’t fight it…. They have both matured into strong alpha, fiesty beautiful, independent people that know what they want, and will fight for it. This is also a comedy romance. Some funny scenes thrown into the mix…LOL.
I did enjoy the story as overall ( except of course the ending n/a yet) I’m just not a huge fan of installment storytelling. To me this would be great in just one awesome book. I recommend the story in it self.

2. Cookie Wars
3. Firecracker Cookie releases 6/23/20
4. Thankful Cookie – coming out in November
This serial series starts with Easter Cookie (which is currently free)
Where we meet Natalie and Stephen.
Both are successful
They have the same careers
They have the same drive
They share a history
They share a little something extra
They are competitors in and out of the boardroom
Each release so far has been about 50 pages and despite each release being so short –
I was engaged in the story line.
I felt a connection to the characters.
I wanted more.
Natalie is wary of any form of commitment. Having been burned by her bestie and the boy she thought was her boyfriend in high school she has become a bit of a commitment-phobe when it comes to long term commitments. Frenemies with benefits though is a definite okay in her book. Her character is spunky and takes no prisoners. She is a bit clumsy but not in her ever-present stilettos.
Every woman needs her armor.
Stephen is laid back. I liked how he admitted the woman had him in knots every time she was within breathing distance. He is patient and knows his persistence will pay off. Or he hopes it does.
Easy to follow story line with solid characters that will engage and delight.
This was a fun introduction to Natalie and Steve. I knew it was going to be short, but it’s an even faster read than I was expecting. I’m not quite sure what theme to class their story as. Second chance? There’re some elements of that. Friends to lovers? Enemies to lovers? Frenemies to lovers might be more accurate. Natalie and Steve are rivals with passionate feelings for one another. I’m very interested in seeing where this rivalry is about to take them.
Will Cookie crumble?
—>>> Review Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars – Stephen “Sexy Abs” Clark and Natalie “Cookie” Todeschini are event-planner rivals who leave the competition behind closed doors during their secret trysts to let off steam. Natalie is just not the commitment type, and Stephen has been in love since he was a geek in high school crushing hard on her. Out of the two, Natalie’s company Stiletto is definitely doing better, and Steve’s is in a slump, but nabbing the contract for an upcoming on Easter weekend in Vegas can be the big break both his company C& P Event Management and Stiletto is waiting for. The winning bid will open up further business opportunities, so a lot is riding on this. Especially when they find out the terms of the winning bid.
This dual POV was a cute prequel to the Steamy Sensations Holiday Shorts.
Wow this book get so hot you may need a cold shower I absolutely could not get enough of this I was hooked from the first page great writing job bravo loved it and if anyone is looking a steamy wonderful read then add this one to your list you will not be disappointed I was not, I loved it

Sexy short read!
First book in a new series – I’ll definitely be reading the rest!
Easter Cookie is an entertaining novella full of drama, humor, steam and a couple in love. Natalie and Stephen are business competitors and friends with benefits at the same time. Great start to a fun, new series and I can’t wait to read the next book.

Easter Cookie by Liz Gavin is a the hilariously funny first book in the A Year of Love Series. This book is about two childhood school friends Stephen Clark and Natalie Todeschini who have a very hot friends with benefits relationship. This book is a delightful contemporary love story between two very stubborn people who refuse to acknowledge their true feelings about one another to each other. This book is a short, fast, and humorous read that will make you giggle at the absurdity of the things that happen to this couple on the way to finding their happy ever after. This is one funny contemporary romance you do not want to miss.

Cute story and my first by this author. I don’t normally enjoy stories written in first petson that flip back and forth between characters, but this worked because I felt like the characters were telling me their story. Thanks for a great little read!
