Takes the Cake
Liz Arnold can’t believe her good fortune when she’s asked to cater one of the biggest and most prestigious weddings of the year. Not only is the location perfect, but working with the bride is a dream. But her dream job quickly turns into a nightmare when the bride’s brother Keegan keeps pushing to change the cake. Yet whenever she’s in his presence all she can think about is being skin-to-skin.
Keegan Murphy is determined to make his sister’s wedding the talk of the town, but that can’t happen with a plain and unimaginative cake. He doesn’t anticipate the instant attraction he has for Liz, but he has no problem seeking out every opportunity to seduce her.
Liz’s not there for pleasure; she has a wedding to save. But will salvaging the wedding cost her a relationship she shouldn’t have started in the first place?

This sweet little confection of a tale was delicious. Hot, sexy and filled with food metaphors, I loved the two main characters and rooted for them the whole way through.
Liz has a budding catering business and it’s gotten a big shot in the arm from this wedding. If she could only get the bride’s brother to leave her alone! Just because she and Keegan had a relationship in the past doesn’t mean she wants him around her now. But he just.doesn’t.get.the.hint!
Keegan lost Liz because he’d put his soccer career first–he’d been consumed with it! A bad injury had ended it in an instant, however, and he’d had few friends there to console him when it happened. Which only made him realize what he’d lost in Liz even more. Now he’s determined to get her back in his life for good–but how can he when she’s ignoring him?
Normally wedding plans are set in stone, but for some reason this wedding is imploding! As Liz and the others working on it scramble to adjust, Keegan sees some time to fix everything. With Liz staying at the estate, can he romance her into changing her mind about him?
That’s not the only relationship question up in the air in this short novella about second chance romance–but you’ll need to read it to know more. Keegan must have been a real a$$ in the past but he’s certainly playing his A-game now in his attempt to woo the reluctant Liz back into his arms. Great, sexy story about two characters that must have been a hoot to write because they were amazing to read. Thanks!

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.
Takes the Cake was a quick read that provided just the right mix of romance, superstition, conflict, and steamy sex that kept me entertained. Because there is a history between Liz and Keegan, his doggedness to get into her pants doesn’t feel rushed. Rather he is hoping to rekindle the fire between them because even when they had problems, they were always good in bed. I would say that Liz gave in to Keegan’s advances rather quickly, but a lot of women (yours truly included) have that man in their past who they just can’t say no to and Keegan was hers. The conflict between the members of the wedding party was humorous, especially when the truth came out. I did think that Liz forgave Keegan’s actions rather quickly considering that his attempts to win her back seemed to involve sending her flowers, calling her, and giving her space. For a man who had come to realize that he let her go too easily the first time, I just wasn’t won over by his “fight” to win her back. All in all, Takes the Cake was an enjoyable novella that packed a good punch (pun intended) and I would be interested in reading more of Ms. Chantale’s writing.
