The trio of football player cupcake shop owners are back in A Legend in Baking. August accidentally goes viral with a rant about feminism and baking! Now, he and his partners are ready to ride that wave of fame to help with the opening of their second shop, and they bring in Sloane Dell, a social media whiz who has some history with August to help.

These two have been tiptoeing around their crushes for 12 years, and honestly, I felt for August. He’s a bit of a loner whose past experiences have made him feel unlovable and scared of failing in love. Sloane is all about getting things done with her killer marketing skills but she’s dealing with her own past relationship issues. The way the story flips between past and present really shows off their connection, which I loved!

Their slow-burn romance is packed with tension and longing, and it’s super satisfying to watch them build trust and realize they’ve found the partner they didn’t think they’d ever have. I couldn’t put this book down and I finished it in a day! If you’re in the mood for a charming story with a sprinkle of sweetness and humor, this one’s for you!
