Publisher's summary

If you are nuts about TV cookery programs and think chocolate is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, keep reading!

I Love Your Cupcakes is a "sweet" romance, a virtual fantasy high in calories and a fun adventure. Dare to give it a bite!

Dulce, Adelfa, and Storm, the protagonists of I Love Your Cupcakes are business partners, friends, and share some "interesting" family connections. All the men Dulce meets only ever talk about her cakes, and she's tired of it. Her friend, Adelfa, although she's a chemistry professor, can't manage to find the recipe for the perfect relationship. And Storm, the third of the partners of their bakery/coffee shop/bookshop/art gallery and ex-fire station, is an artist who is not a master in the art of love. How could they imagine that at the studio of the contest "Do You Have What It Takes to Be the Next Baking Star?" they'd find sexual harassment, cheats, fights, and also love?

With dogs, fire trucks, London double-decker buses, school buses, artists, chemists, engineers, architects, intrigue, scandals, bigamy, and lots and lots of desserts, I Love Your Cupcakes is a romantic comedy with a sweet heart. You will find baddies, crooks, goodies, odd balls, and flawed but endearing characters. More than anything, I can promise you good humor, friendship, smiles, sense of community, heart, and plenty of cakes. Try it! I'm sure you won't be able to stop once you give it a bite!

I hope you come to love Dulce, Adelfa, Storm, and their friends as much as I do. And if that is the case, please let me know. I wouldn't mind writing some more adventures about them and baking more cakes!

Sweet, tame story

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this sweet story. The characters were so caring and helpful. Having so many people from the community gather together is inspiring. I liked the bit of mystery surrounding the show and how they were able to take care of that problem. I'd love to see another story going in to the future a bit to see how things are going with Dulce and Adelfa, their shop and their men!

Cupcakes, need I say more?

Overall the storyline was very interesting and kept me engaged throughout the telling. The narrator was very easy to understand and made the story really come to life. I hope to listen or read more from the author in the near future.

Sweet feel good story

Any additional comments?

Light hearted, sweet, fun, entertaining story, with a slight hint of romance
.
You could listen to this story over a speaker and not worry about offending any ears.

The book starts a little slow and takes a few chapters to really get interested in the story. It is told through the past and present. This is a little confusing in the beginning of the book. Dulce, Adelfa and Storm are all very good characters. You can't help but like them immediately. While there is a small amount of drama, it is basically a fun, good guys triumph, feel good story.


The narrator Gwen Olson has a pleasant voice, but the narration does not flow smoothly. There is also not really any voice definition between the characters. The only way you know which character is speaking is when it is stated.

Cute book

This isn't a book you're going to have to hang onto the edge of your seats for, but it's a delightful little story nonetheless. There were a few parts that read a little awkwardly, but not so much so that you wouldn't be able to enjoy the book. Kudos for the depth of characters and giving each their own unique types.

Any additional comments?

The only part I did not enjoy was trying to keep track of the chapters skipping from present to past every other chapter

Refreshing

I enjoyed the relationships of the characters. It was a quick, fun read. At first I was confused going back and forth in time to when the girls started their bakery and to current time with the baking competition, but I caught on after a few chapters. It may be because I listened to the audiobook version.

Unique Story With Past & Present Intertwined

This is a sweet story about three friends & business partners. It is told with past and present glimpses throughout. I found it a bit confusing at first because it always seems more difficult to keep up with multiple timelines when you are listening to a story versus reading from my kindle or book.

The story goes back and forth between when they decided to open a unique bakery together and when they find themselves in a TV cookery program a few years later.

The characters are well developed and the narration was ok.

There is a bit of suspense, drama, and light romance.

This audiobook was provided free of charge in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion.

Review: Cupcakes

Very slow read/listen. Not quite sure of a plot?? Strangest book ever. Narrator stiff.
