Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall

It probably falls in line with Women’s Fiction, which I typically avoid, but seeing this is by Alexis Hall and I LOVED Boyfriend Material, I winded up reading this anyways. This book has significantly less romance than I would expect and wouldn’t necessarily be what I would call a Romance book, with a capital R. I mean, the book calls us out on this one and I can’t fault it. It’s less sabotage and underhandedness than most baking shows and I just find that pleasant. Specifically, the one this book’s Bake Expectations is modeled after - The Great British Bake Off, abbreviated GBBO, or annoyingly known in America as The Great British Baking Show because of trademarks or whatever. I think a lot of my enjoyment surrounding this book can be tied directly to the fact that I ADORE baking competition shows. Unfortunately more Women’s Fic than Romance PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. Yet as the competition - and the ovens - heat up, Rosaline starts to realize the most delicious bakes come from the heart. Rosaline fears falling for Harry is a guaranteed recipe for disaster. However, more than collapsing trifles stand between Rosaline and sweet, sweet victory. Suave, well-educated, and parent-approved Alain Pope knows all the right moves to sweep her off her feet, but it’s shy electrician Harry Dobson who makes Rosaline question her long-held beliefs - about herself, her family, and her desires. Winning the prize money would give her daughter the life she deserves - and Rosaline is determined to stick to the instructions. But where there’s a whisk there’s a way.and Rosaline has just landed a spot on the nation’s most beloved baking show. Now, with a paycheck as useful as greaseproof paper and a house crumbling faster than biscuits in tea, she’s teetering on the edge of financial disaster.

Rosaline Palmer has always lived by those rules - well, except for when she dropped out of college to raise her daughter, Amelie.
