Thanks to Forever for the free copy of this book.
- Friends, Alexis Hall plus baking competition show romance equals an absolute hug of a book.
- I adored everything about ROSALINE PALMER TAKES THE CAKE. Hall's signature banter and self-effacing characters are so perfect in this setting, plus it also takes on larger issues like classism, thorny familial relationships, and biphobic stereotypes.
- This is a bit of a SPOILER!!!! but I don't think I've ever read a romance where the love interest changes halfway through! And I'm so glad I trusted Hall, because I thought Alain was a bit of a tool early on and thought it was going to be a story where he sees the error of his ways and tries to reform, and I'm so glad it wasn't like that.
