Publisher's summary

Another laugh-out-loud love story from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shirley Jump's wickedly delightful Sweet and Savory Romances series. It's the Sweetest Mess to Date When Olivia Regan bids on a sexy Boston celebrity at a charity auction, her intentions are not what they seem. Plagued by a never-ending cycle of failed marketing plans for her pastry business, Olivia is sure that her newest ploy - with charming playboy Daniel Worth at the center - will succeed. Well, as long as she can resist his deep blue eyes and million-dollar smile. Daniel Worth has never felt like he had a purpose in life and wants a taste of the determined drive he sees in the fiery Olivia. He's intrigued by Olivia and her high-priced bid - as well as the fact that he can't buy her in return. Olivia's beauty and fight-to-the-end attitude drive Daniel to put his inheritance at risk and take a chance on the irresistible pastry chef, even if falling for her means treading on dangerous ground. Olivia is determined to protect her wounded heart, but soon realizes bidding on Daniel Worth has created a mess, not just in her business, but also in her heart!

Amazing story

This book has it all. Tension, romance, disaster, and redemption. It is as close to the best storyline ever. It is unfortunate that it does make at least one major error in the final chapters. It’s funny how one little thing gets under you skin. How many cheesecakes were ordered?

In any case the book is great, best in the series. Read and enjoy!

READ IT!!!!

So far, this is the best book out of the entire series. This is going based on the fact that I still have the last book to go. This book had a really good storyline, and an actual sex scene. You will enjoy this book

Great story

I loved listening to this book. Great reader, great story! Looking for more in this series to listen to!

Very enjoyable!

Another sweet straightforward love story by Shirley Jump.
I loved the characters and storyline and the narration was great too

loved it

this book is awesome! I really enjoyed this author and I look forward to reading more.

This one is a bit darker than the previous

I love the humor and rollicking antics of the previous books in this series! This one is much deeper and darker, with the two lovers in a spiral of misery and unreachable family responsibilities. I felt rather sad and weepy until the last hour.

Another dumb heroine and story

This is another dumb heroine and story. The dialogue , again, dumb and the hero was arrogant and conceited. Both characters were unlikeable. It’s as usually, all about sex. It’s easy to write about sex than the story. I want to give this story half star. That said,!I’m outta here!

Meh.

FYI: This book's original title was The Bachelor Preferred Pastry.

I just couldn't get into this book. It started off okay but I didn't like the female main character almost immediately and the male main character wasn't very likable either. From the moment we are supposed to think the heroine driving irresponsibly is a positive character trait that demonstrates strength and independence, I knew this story might not be for me. The dialogue seemed forced, like it was supposed to be "cute", but instead, it fell flat. The story took turns I wasn't expecting but not in the "pleasantly surprised" way. I was expecting a "fun" romance based on the description, but all the fun was sucked out of the premise very early on.
Spoiler: The hero doesn't go along with the heroine's initial plan, which would have been fine had the story went down a fun, interesting road from there, but it didn't.
The motivations of the characters seemed contrived. And there was too much subplot interjected into the story. I started skipping the parts with the heroine's parents and the hero's family drama. It wasn't engaging and added nothing to the story.

I needed more sweets

The story line of a sugar free bakery protesting and causing the shut down of a sweet bakery was really beyond reality . The audio voice sounded bored and made it hard to finish listening .
