Emery St. James never dreamed of being a contestant in one of those dramatic baking contests. But then her life turned into a reality show of epic proportions.Owning a bakery was her childhood dream – and the pompous rich boy who opens a French pastry café right down the street, her worst nightmare. The last thing she needs as she struggles to make ends meet is competition. Even more annoyingly, … annoyingly, competition by the name of Marshall Bartlett, who has the nerve to steal her parking spot and insult her bakery. But putting Marshall out of her mind isn’t a piece of cake. Not when both families attempt to broker peace by blackmailing them into five “get to know you” dates, and especially not when Emery’s sex-starved grandmother is chaperoning from afar.
Will their dates go down as easily as Emery’s cherry cobbler, or will they be a recipe for disaster?

An hilarious story! I laughed so much! Emery was a ingenious girl that had a gay friend and a crazy Granny. Oh, and did I tell you she owned a donut shop. Here comes Marshall, a guy that is going to open a French pastry shop. The times are hard, loving and so much fun to read about, please read!
Emery owned their small town bakery. Marshall was moving to get close to his family and open his own pastry shop. He felt sparks for the spitfire baker but winning her over was going to be a hard but fun time. This was a fun read with interesting and funny characters.

This is my first time reading something by Ms. Cyr and I really enjoyed it. This is a such a cute and fun story! Marshall has just moved to town and has opened his pastry shop a few doors down from Emery’s bakery. Emery is fun and sassy and of course wants to hate Marshall for opening his shop so close to hers. After going on a few dates they start to soften towards each other. There are so many fun and laugh out loud moments as you follow them along their journey to love. They both have issues from their past they need to deal with before they can move forward with their future. This is a really sweet and charming story and I enjoyed it very much and look forward to reading more by this author.

I found myself laughing a lot while reading this. Several of the obstacles and misunderstandings were just hilarious. The grandma was funny all by herself. The romance between Emery and Marshall was sweet with a bit of steam and I enjoyed reading as it played out.
