Babycakes
Oh, Fantasy!
Brigitte Dumont was not thrilled about playing a cooing, buxom bimbo named Babycakes during a murder-mystery weekend. Why was everyone else at the hotel so excited about meeting C. H. Battle, the hot new cartoonist who was scripting the mystery? Personally she found his detective creation, Fantasy Fuzz, a piece of sexist crock. Then she met sweet, shy, sexy Charlie Battle, and suddenly playing Babycakes with Charlie felt absolutely right.
Sassy, confident, charming Brigitte was a fantasy come true for Charlie. But she seemed to take life and romance far too lightly. Were the sparks between them just part of the fantasy, or the real thing?

This is connected to Island Nights by this author and features the hero's sister and entire family in their chalet in Canada. Seeing all her siblings well-settled our confident outgoing heroine also feels the urge to settle down. Then she runs into our hero an artist whose sexist comic strip is all the rage and who is contributing his time for a mystery night. Both of them have misconceptions about each other at the start; the hero is nothing like the comic he created and instead is shy. These two actually have a connection but then a stupid misunderstanding gets in the way. I liked the book as we see these two navigate a long-distance relationship but felt something was a-miss. At first the misunderstandings annoyed me and then the resolution came too fast and I felt they hadn't figured out how they would fit into each others lives with both of them having their career in separate places. All in all not bad but not that great either.
