Kiss My Cupcake

By: Helena Hunting

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Holly Warren

As two neighborhood shop owners battle for business, they prove opposites attract in this mouthwatering rom com.

"A deliciously sweet and savory new romantic comedy" —Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Say You'll Remember Me

Blaire Calloway has planned every Instagram-worthy moment of her cupcake and cocktails shop launch down to the tiniest detail. What she didn't plan on? Ronan Knight and his old-school sports bar next door opening on the very same day. He may be super swoony, but Blaire hasn't spent years obsessing over buttercream and bourbon to have him ruin her chance at success.

From axe throwing (his place) to frosting contests (hers), Blaire and Ronan are constantly trying to one-up each other in a battle to win new customers. But with every clash, there's also an undeniable chemistry. When an even bigger threat to their business comes to town, they're forced to call a temporary time-out on their own war and work together. And the more time Blaire spends getting to know the real Ronan, the more she wonders if it's possible to have her cupcake and eat it too.

"Kiss My Cupcake is a laugh-out-loud romance full of charm, wit and magic. Ronan and Blaire will have you fall in love with their story from their very first encounter. A thoroughly delicious read." —LJ Shen, USA Today bestselling author

"With a sweet, sassy heroine and a deliciously sexy hero, Kiss My Cupcake is romantic comedy perfection!" —Melanie Harlow, USA Today bestselling author

4 stars!!!!!!!

I wasn't sure about this one, even through the first handful of chapters. I did start to warm up to it as it continued. By the end, I was all in story-wise. It was a pretty cute, sweet and heartwarming story. There were definitely some oddball characters that helped add to the story as well. All in all, I was happy with this one.

One complaint though. I guess when romances are dual narrated, I have a certain expectation that the book will more or less make this an even thing. Meaning that the narration will switch on & off between characters. That wasn't the case here. I supposed I should also admit that I'm a little biased since when it's a book that involves Teddy narrating, then I want to hear more of him narrating! He only narrated maybe 20% of this book.

Too sweet

Loved this one. I love pretty much all her books but this is the one I reach for when I need something extra sweet and cute makes me wish her cafe was a real place

So SWEET!

I loved this story. It was sweet and nit over dramatic. I think it'd make a great movie!

Sweet & light rivals to romance

If you are looking for a sweet and uncomplicated rom com, this is for you. Just the right amount of angst and slow burn between the two leads so that it is believable when they come together. Other writers would have taken this in many different directions to create more unnecessary drama and I am glad that Hunting opted not to go in that direction. Definitely will leave you craving cupcakes.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this love story. You never know when are where love will come.
