Rosie has no time for boys. She's focused on finishing up school and working at her mother's bakery, and makes sure to avoid any and all distractions. But when a rather handsome distraction walks through the bakery door, there isn't much she can do except help the customer. And when the customer starts showing Rosie some interest, things get even more complicated. Soon, the handsome man starts to pop up in places she didn't anticipate, and the more Rosie gets to know him, the more she likes him. The problem is, the reason he came to the bakery in the first place was to order a wedding cake. Rosie knew he was off the market, but soon she was falling for the almost married man... and wasn't sure if she could continue helping her mom with the wedding cake anymore.

I’d like to thank my sister for giving me this book on my birthday. It was written by her neighbor and I love supporting an independent author, especially one so close to home!
A great book for any fan of good, clean romance. It’s got your classic beats of romances and a rich and handsome love interest. And, my favorite part, some great side characters that really add to the narrative (in fact sometimes I was way more into that love story).
The writing itself needed another copy editing pass over. There were some obvious spelling errors. However, I wouldn’t say that this should prevent you from reading it.
I got through nearly this entire book in a flight home from New York. Fast and pleasant read!
When Nick decides he wants a mint-chocolate wedding cake, things begin to go haywire. In fact, it’s a tip-off that things with bridezilla Alisha, might not be heading in the right direction. But don’t let the cute little cover fool you into thinking this is one of those typical romance novels where the boy meets the girl, they lose each other, and finally kiss in the end. Oh no. And, while the Bakery Booking has a similar foundation, there’s also Lily and Troy, Hank, Karen, and Rose with intertwining romantic relationships weaving throughout the satisfying plot. The tale is set during those crucial weeks that lead up to the wedding. Raspberry or mint? Which one will it be? “I couldn’t see her face because her back was to me, but I could imagine she didn’t look happy.” Nothing unusual there, in fact Alisha is never happy. The tension keeps right on building, and will keep you reading, to the very end! If you like sweet stories that are soft and tasty in the middle, and yet crispy and refreshing on the outside, you’ll enjoy the Bakery Booking too.
This story centers around a young women and her sister and their mom's family bakery. I finished this book in a day because I just could not put it down. The story had me quickly engaged and pull on my emotions. And the recipes were a nice addition when you were reading about yummy things in the book. Would recommend and read again.
