Story
There's no way I'll fall for Wyatt Hennington. He can keep his Southern drawl, irresistible smile, and those pick-up lines all to himself. I made the mistake of sleeping with him not once, but twice. I'm not stupid enough to give him round three, especially after he left me in the middle of the night so I could see myself out. I vow to return to Philadelphia and forget him.

Lucas Xavier is the last person I want to spend 24 hours with, let alone two minutes. Exes are exes for a reason. In his case, for a million reasons. Because he's not only an ex-lover, he's also an ex-friend. We didn't just break up - we combusted in a spectacular bonfire of barbs and doors slammed. Nothing will change that. Not his clever wit, not his ridiculous good looks, not his unfair levels of charm. And definitely not a wild dash through the city that takes us on an accidental scavenger hunt through our past, where we stop for a tango lesson, pancakes and a visit with llamas.

Reasons why I should not be drawn to Troy Serrano. Number one: He’s obnoxious. Number two: We were enemies more than a decade ago. Number three: He’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend. I could go on and on, really. When my boss gives me an unwanted assignment, and tells me it involves spending time with the grandson of one of our residents, the grandson turns out to be Troy. Lucky me. Four hours a week of having to deal with his insufferable personality and unsolicited advice - the only consolation is getting to stare at his annoyingly gorgeous face, in between our many arguments.

When you think about how easy it is to lose keys, phones, sunglasses and your dignity on social media, you might figure it'd be a cinch for me to ditch my V Card. You'd be wrong. At 25, I run a successful business, live in a fantastic apartment, and have fabulous friends to go out with any night of the week. And yet I'm still a card-carrying member of a club I don't want to belong to anymore. Good thing I know just the man for the deflowering job - my brother’s business partner and best friend.

Growing up, the three of us were friends. He was the nerd. I was the playboy. She was the beauty. Deep down, I only ever wanted her. I kept it inside because Rory and I made a pact that our friend, Amber, was off-limits. He lied. I went off to college, and he got the girl. Amber never knew how I felt. They were together for years - before he broke her heart. Through it all and across the miles, she and I casually stayed in touch. When my job sent me to Boston for a three-month contract position, Amber let me stay in her spare room.

The first time I met Caine West was in a bar. He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out. When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straight -- telling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass. You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend-smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married. He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he'd done.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Dear Sexy AF Intern, I know you don't care that I'm the CEO of this company, and you're just an intern. I also know you're not impressed by my power or my wealth, and that's fine. You think you've got me all figured out from working alongside me for two weeks, but you don't know me. Not really. You don't know that I'm a single dad to twin toddlers, or that those two little girls matter more to me than this entire hotel chain. I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room.

Our favorite moments from Cake

About the Creator
Jill Bengtsson was a stay-at-home mom for 21 years before writing her debut novel, Cake: A Love Story, which was released in 2016. She had written the book for fun after she’d read a disappointing romance novel and felt she could do better. Jill released Cake on Amazon and watched in stunned disbelief when it became a best-seller within a month…before she even told her husband and children she’d written a book. Building on her success, the Cake audiobook was nominated for an Audie Award for Best Romance in 2018 and ensured that listeners devoured other titles in the Cake series. Jill is now a full-time writer.

About the Performer

Arndt has lent her voice to hundreds of audiobook titles. She has worked both for major publishers and best-selling indie romance authors, providing her calm, cool delivery to a diverse range of titles.

I really loved that there were 2 stories in one and they addressed a really horrible event in a manner that didnt downplay it. Worth a credit. There is a lot of humor in the romance which really makes the story believeable

Lesson Learned: Never Judge a Book by Its Title
There is one reason you should get this book. Other than it being laugh out loud funny. They fall in love and stay together. There’s no dramatic love me, no leave me alone. They have conversations like real live humans. Sometimes their arguments are instantly resolved. Sometimes they walk around acting like the issue doesn’t exist until they are ready for it to… like real live humans. I kept waiting for the big you can’t love me I’m damaged argument, but it never came. When I got to the end I instantly replayed it. So that I could enjoy it without all of that unrealized dread filled anticipation.

***** I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this book, but when I saw that Andi Arndt and Joe Arden were the narrator's, I thought I'd try it. They are among some of my favorites.
I was BLOWN AWAY with this book!!! I LOVED every chapter, from the beginning. It ended up a roller coaster of emotions for me. I was laughing & smiling one minute, then before I knew it I was a heartbroken and crying. "CAKE" has now become my #1 of 2016!! I just can't put into enough words how wonderful this book was!! KUDDOS to the author!! I will definitely be looking out for more!

Great Debut Novel
I don't write many reviews and I'm primarily a mystery reader, but I enjoyed this book so much I felt compelled to write a review to tell everyone how satisfying a read it was. It has everything - charming characters, witty dialog, interesting plot. I hope this is the first of many books from Ms. Bengtsson.
The narrators were excellent. Joe Arden is new to me, but I've always enjoyed Andi Arndt. Her work in the Stage Dive series is a must listen.

Loved It!
I enjoyed this story way more than I anticated. From all the reviews, I was expecting great, but got AWESOME! The positive reviews are spot on!
May have some spoilers:
First, Cake's well written, descriptive, has a natural flow, and great dialogue. The dialogue between the characters had more of a YA feel, but it was clever, witty, flirty, entertaining, and added to the overall appeal of the story.
Secondly, the author does an amazing job keeping the listener in suspense. It is revealed early there's a horrific past, and throughout the story, the author gives subtle hints towards the details. The dark past doesn't distract or overpower the sweet love story, but was enough to keep me in suspense, glued to my headphones and didn't leave me emotionally drained.
Lastly, while the character had an instant connect, the author did a fantastic job developing their chemistry, feelings and relationship. I love this wasn't just another "instalove" story, and you get to feel their relationship blossom.
Cake was a beautiful, captivating, and perfectly narrated. Well worth the time and credit!

What a surprise!
I expected the usual chicklit offering but this book had a lot more depth with lots of drama. I would prefer not to have the explicit sex description and not so much swearing but I'm probably in the minority there. I even had tears in my eyes at times and I'm usually not touched by emotion when reading fiction. An excellent book. Thanks very much.

One of the first in the book. The wedding, it was really funny. But the rest of the book was great as well.

Would you consider the audio edition of Cake to be better than the print version?
I liked the fact that this was a romance with a twist. The story moved at a nice pace, the narration was excellent and the characters were likable. Although there were dark parts in the book relating to Jake's past they were well woven into the overall story and added an edge to it rather than distracting the reader.

More Cake Please!
This story was beautifully written and brilliantly narrated. I read a lot and this is the first story in a very long time where I've laughed, lived and shed tears. I was a part of Casey and Jake's love story and I think that's a sign of a gifted writer, and a very well written book, if the story 'comes to life' for the reader.
I would definitely recommend both J. Bengtsson and Cake
I loved it!

Unexpected
I've been hearing about this story for a long time and I bought the ebook right at the start of the year but put it off because I was scared I wouldn't like it. But I was unexpectedly surprised at how; despite how horrific Jake's backstory is, low angst this is. This is really well written and pretty fast paced despite how long it is. I'd be interested in reading the rest of the McKallister family stories.

couldn't put it down
brilliant story and narration, off to spend my credit on the next book in the series. think I'll be spending a few as there's a few books in it. covers a difficult subject really well with characters you can't help but love and brought a smile to my face many times while listening.

had my reservations
when I read the summary I wasn't sure if it was too much of a love story without grit.
Boy was I wrong!!!!! I've never read this author before but I was laughing, swooning, gasping, sighing and crying.... this is one of the best stories I've listened too.
I'm a huge Meghan March and Kresley Cole fan and have read them all and even though this is vastly different and closer to Vi Keelands writing (which I'm a fan of)
I absolutely loved it. I'm going back for more.
I'm not a great lover of Joe Arden but Andi Arnt sold me.....as always and I'm glad she did as well as narrating most of the story.
the horror inflicted on the hero was heartbreaking and the heroine was created perfectly......well done J Bengstonn....you have a new fan!!!

Cake
I loved this story. One of the things that I enjoyed most was that although set in a world that few of us are likely to experience, that of fame and fortune with a flip side background story of unimaginable horror and pain, the essence of the love story was one attainable by many of us, that of two people connecting, finding something special in that connection and then working together to make it work.
My husband once wrote "I will always love you, want to bring out the highest possible good in you". I felt that the characters of Jake and Casey strove to do this for each other, Casey, not having Jake's traumatic background, leading the charge and through patience, understanding and love bringing out a deep healing in Jake
I kept waiting for the dramatic breakup before the make-up that is so often used in contemporary fiction to build suspense but was relived and pleased to see that Bengtsson chose a different tact to build that suspense in "Cake"
Both Casey and Jake were immensely likeable characters, flawed and real, ones that I connected with and wanted to triumph.
I laughted, I cried, I sat sitting on my train commute with a dorky, goofy grin, and a whole other gambit of emotions as this story unfolded. I highly recommend "Cake" to other fellow contemporary fiction readers and look forward to reading more by J Bengtsson.

Compelling listening
Was pretty predictable story but compelling listening. Voices a bit off for characters, was entertaining hearing the male voice do such terrible women's voices.

3.5-4 Stars
I found the overall storyline good but felt that there is a lot of unnecessary rambling towards the second half of the book. The last few chapters of the book redeemed the storyline for me and I loved the ending.
Overall, I enjoyed listening to the story which was well narrated by Andi and Joe, but I don’t think I’ll be continuing with the rest of the series.

Sweet story but no real angst between the leads.
This story was jam packed with Rock Stars, fame, kidnapping, coma and sweet romance. The leads were a little too sweet, a little too perfect. The story too much to be real. The narration by Andi Arndt was, as usual, perfect and could have carried the whole story. Joe Arden's female voices always annoy me to distraction and even his male characters seem a little creepy and 'breathy'. A good listen for younger readers.

Light overcomes darkness
I enjoyed this book. The banter between the 2 main characters had me smiling. When Jake told his story it made me cry. When the brothers teased each other it made me laugh. And in the end the power of love shone through. This is story is not centred around a one night stand, but about an attraction that grew into love. I would recommend this book for people who want a simple love story and not a lust story.
